not a tremendous deal but if you spend $100 on ps4/xb1 games this weekend you get a $25 best buy gift card
it counts pre GCU prices so two copies of Modern Warfare would be $120 pre GCU, $95 post GCU, and still give you the free gift card. If you still have GCU of course.

Target Black Friday Ad
Kingdom Hearts 3 for 15 bucks is the only one so far I would get, but there will be more games on sale than what is shown.

You can occasionally find the older ones for under $100 at Walmart. On mobile but there is a thread on cheapassgamer for it. I'm hoping to find a Street fighter 2 one cheap for a mame one as it comes with the six button setup. Wouldn't mind the star wars one either for the pure nostalgia/memories of Chuck e cheese.

my dad got our mutually favorite arcade Galaga and he loves it. Nothing beats hearing the sounds of Galaga as a night light in the man cave.

I haven't used left/right bank buttons in years now. I use my middle fingers w/ the paddles. Be warned tho, it is hard to go back to a normal controller.

I picked up the elite v2s monday, been playing every day The Outer Worlds on PC on them. Love em, they feel fantastic.
regime, two things to check out to make sure yours is ok
1. try to turn the thumbsticks, the heads should "pop" right off exposing the tension control parts. Some people have had broken thumbsticks apparently and you can turn the heads (adjusting the tension)
2. make sure none of the buttons stick, some people had A button stickyness. I updated firmware (with xbox accessories app, pc or xb1) and then did controller test to make sure all buttons click ok with no stickyness
It feels REALLY good in my hand, significantly better than v1. has USB-C cable, built in rechargeable battery, the pouch comes with a dock that lets you wireless recharge (I just use the USB-C cable i recharge my headphones with), and bluetooth connectivity.
The paddles are WAY better in v2, in v1 I took my paddles off since I found them always getting in the way but the v2 paddles are nestled in perfectly and unobtrusive, I may even learn how to use them.
If Xbox 2 wasn't coming out in less than 12 months I'd probably buy a second one, feels real good.
If you buy from microsoft store you can get 40k reward points I think ($40), and i'd also recommend the 3 year (!) warranty for only $20. I bought mine at gamestop since i had so much credit but I don't expect gamestop to be around in 3 years, plus I take really good care of my stuff.

Is that 40k rewards point and warranty only at physical stores? Didn't see either available on their website.
Edit: Saw the warranty offered after adding to cart but no points mentioned.
