It may be a new release, but that isn't stopping Newegg offering the largest discount we've seen on the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core this week. We haven't seen that launch price waver too far since release, save for a $12 voucher code at Amazon. However, as part of the retailer's early Black Friday deals, you'll find a $30 discount on the premium Xbox controller - dropping that $129.99 MSRP all the way down to $99.99

You'll need to use promo code 5BFBYA5372 for the full saving here, but when you do you'll secure the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core for its lowest ever price. We were previously seeing a $15 discount in earlier Black Friday Newegg deals, but today's offer doubles your saving - making for one of the best Black Friday Xbox controller deals on the market right now. 

The Xbox Elite Series 2 Core has only been on the market since the end of September, which goes some way to explaining its resistance to discounts. That means those on the hunt for a customizable controller (that doesn't reach the lofty price heights of the full-fat Series 2 Elite), should seriously consider jumping on this saving. We're not seeing any other retailers shaving that price tag down right now.

Save $30 - Be sure to use promo code 5BFBYA5372 for this rare $30 discount on the new Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller. Doing so drops that $129.99 MSRP down to $99.99 at Newegg - impressive considering this gamepad isn't seeing sales anywhere else and we only previously saw a $15 discount earlier in the week.
