Xbox Store’s ‘Buy 1 Get 6 Free’ Deal Is a Scam
Xbox is throwing a party for its gaming community, offering a massive promotion that involves giving away not just one, but six items through a Buy One, Get One Free deal on the Xbox Store.
While such deals always generate buzz, this particular offering comes with a slight twist. The key to understanding the promotion, however, lies in the pricing structure. As is typical with these kinds of promotions, the final cost of the bundle is determined entirely by the most expensive item included in the collection.
In this latest giveaway, the price anchor is set by the latest title, Borderlands 4, which is listed at £69.99 / $69.99.
This means that while fans are thrilled to receive six freebies, the actual cost of the bundle is dictated by that high-priced anchor game, with the other five items being added to the deal at no extra charge.
It turns the usual excitement of a giveaway into a peculiar mathematical puzzle. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the biggest deals are defined not by what you get for free, but by the price of what you have to pay for the whole package.
