It’s not the lowest price we’ve ever seen — it’s dropped to as low as $30 on Microsoft Store and $40 or so on Amazon — but discounts on the controller are becoming increasingly rare. All manner of gaming products been in high demand in recent months, with people looking for more things to do at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Production on some products has also been affected.
