Ahead of the Project Scorpio unveiling at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2017 in Los Angeles, California, Microsoft took Twitter earlier today to drop the good news, a US$50 price cut to the promising Xbox One S. The manufacturer, however, has clarified that the discount is not applicable across the shelves.

Certain Xbox One S bundles only are up for this unlikely promotion, including some hot titles like Gears of War 4, Halo Wars 2, and Battlefield 1. The discount is effective until 11 June starting at US$299. Below are the select Xbox One S bundles to choose from:

Meantime, accessories such as wireless controllers and stereo headset adapter are also available. Aside from the US, the discount is available in Puerto Rico and Canada, too.

In another news, Microsoft is expected to finally unveil the Xbox Scorpio console.
