There's really not long to go now before Black Friday Xbox deals kick off in earnest towards the end of November. Black Friday officially starts on November 29, but as always, we're expecting most big retailers to kick things off up to a week earlier.

Black Friday month has well and truly kicked off – this week has seen a whole heap of retailers and tech manufacturers kick off their seasonal sales ahead of the big day on 29 November. If you're in the market for a new console and an Xbox has taken your fancy, it looks like a pretty great time to shop around.

This is the kind of offer I would expect to see when official Black Friday Xbox deals stick the landing at the end of the month, so grabbing it two weeks early feels like a solid win. After all, the Seagate alternative is still sitting at $149 at Amazon right now.
