Microsoft reveals Assassin’s Creed Origins Xbox One S bundles

We’re not quite sure that with the Xbox One X just a few short weeks away that Microsoft should be promoting brand new Xbox One S bundles, but hey, what do we know.

Anywho, there are a pair of Assassin’s Creed Origins Xbox One S bundles on the way on October 27th, 2017, in 1TB and 500GB flavors.  The 500GB SKU looks to not be available in North America, so gamers will have to opt for the $349 1TB option, which also includes a copy of Tom Clancy?s Rainbow Six Siege (see the product page on Amazon, here).  The 500GB SKU will be available in Euro territories for ?279 EUR / ?229 GBP.

See the details below and at the Xbox Wire site.
