Today’s Best Deals: Xbox Elite Series 2 For $140, Borderlands 3 For $8, And More

Microsoft’s Elite Series 2 wireless controller is one of the best you can own, and right now you can pick it up from Daily Steals for $140 with promo code CNETMSEC. This is a refurbished controller that comes in retail packaging and should both feel and play like new. We rarely see outright discounts on the Elite Series 2, so for Xbox gamers, this is a deal you don’t want to pass up. The Elite Series 2 controller allows you to save up to three custom profiles and features adjustable tension thumbsticks, a wrap-around rubberized grip, and shorter hair trigger locks. It also comes with four interchangeable thumbsticks, two of which emulate the size of the Xbox 360 controller, and features up to 40 hours of rechargeable battery life.

Borderlands 3 brings the loot-shooter franchise’s 10-year journey to a satisfying conclusion, and just for today, it’s down to just 8 bucks as a Best Buy Deal of the Day.

While Borderlands 3 is largely more of the same rather than offering any innovative or different, it’s still a blast of fans of the series, earning an 8/10 in our Borderlands 3 review.
