We’ve written before about how the Amazon Fire TV stick is, so to speak, one of the cheapest Xbox consoles — you can stream hundreds of great titles via the Xbox app on Fire TV with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Well, it looks like Amazon is formalizing this suggestion and now offering the real thing Xbox Starter Kit Bundle with a Fire TV 4K Max streaming box, an official Xbox Wireless Controller, and a month of Game Pass Ultimate for $79.99 ($146.97), saving you a total of 45%. You can also choose a non-Max Fire TV 4K option and download everything for $5 cheaper, but the trade-off is slightly slower connectivity, and given the need for the lowest latency possible, we recommend choosing Max here.
For those who don’t already have an Xbox Series X or S console, this bundle includes everything you need to get started – just add internet. There are also three different color variants of the controller: Astral Purple, Deep Pink, and the translucent Sky Cipher, which Microsoft launched earlier this year. Even if you already have a console, purchasing an extra controller and an extra month of Game Pass Ultimate isn’t a bad idea, especially if you’ve been looking for a good streaming solution for another TV in the house (or as a gift for someone).
