It’s been tough to recommend the Xbox Series X recently, especially at the $649 price it has sold at since last October. But if you’re thinking about getting one, at least consider the Forza Horizon 6-themed console bundle you can get at Best Buy that’s just $10 more than the usual inflated price.

There’s a spare USB-C port, too, letting you charge a second device, or recharge the battery at 30W speeds. It’s currently $10 more at Amazon.
