Yes, that’s right, Best Buy is giving away a Starfield “mystery gift” with its three months Xbox Game Pass Ultimate gift cards right now. As a fun bonus, you’ll also get an ice cream sandwich that can seemingly survive in space, just in case you’ve got a craving for astronaut food.
Over at Best Buy right now, the Xbox 3 Month Game Pass Ultimate with Mystery Starfield Collectable bundle is available for $44.99. Strangely, that’s cheaper than the retailer's $49.99 rate on a 3 month card by itself, but matches prices at rivals like Amazon. Of course, the main difference is that Best Buy’s offering comes with fun merch that could help you give your console a themed glow up, and stock might run out before Black Friday gaming deals arrive this November.
Not to spoil the ‘mystery’, but the gift included with the Starfield Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Gift card is a briefcase containing vinyl stickers. There are three different versions of the packaging you can end up with, but the contents inside should be the same regardless. I’m not saying applying the decals to your Series S and X is going to produce the same effect as a console wrap. However, as someone who appreciates collectable bits and bobs, I can’t think of a reason why not to embrace this freebie if you’re looking to subscribe to Game Pass.
Xbox 3 Month Game Pass Ultimate with Mystery Starfield Collectable | $44.99 at Best Buy
It's not every day you see a gift card come with physical goodies. However, for $5 less than other three month Game Pass cards at Best Buy, you'll get some fun Starfield vinyl stickers, a collectable case, and a free space food ice cream sandwich for good measure.
Buy it if:
✅ You want to access Game Pass games
✅ You like idea of collectable Starfield merch
✅ You want to give your console a makeover
Don't buy it if:
❌ You hate free stuff
❌ You'd rather pay monthly for Game Pass
Let’s circle back to the ice cream sandwich mentioned above, as I imagine that caught some of you off guard. On the Starfield Xbox Game Pass gift card page, you’ll notice word of a $9.99 free gift, which just so happens to be a HALO - Astronaut Ice Cream snack thing. I can’t promise it won’t taste like sawdust and sadness, nor can I confidently say it’d actually survive a trip to the milky way. But hey, it’s an appropriate treat to devour while diving into a NASA punk adventure.
If you’re holding off for November, you’ll want to swing buy our Black Friday Xbox deals hub for early pointers. You’ll also find a collection of offers available right now below, as we’re already seeing discounts pop up ahead of the main event.

It’s been a long lead-up, but some retailers have pulled the lever on Black Friday 2023. Among those retailers is Best Buy. You can save money on a whole heap of items, ranging from video games to robotic vacuums. Basically, if Best Buy sells it, there’s a good chance it’s on sale this week for Black Friday 2023. You can view the entire sale here, or keep scrolling for the best deals available now.
Browsing Best Buy’s list of deals on 4K Blu-rays quickly became detrimental to my productivity today, as there are just so many options that I want to scoop up. The retailer, which ironically will no longer sell physical movies in 2024, sure knows how to throw a sale on them. Many titles are $10 or less, selling for at least half of their original prices. In some cases, Amazon is matching prices, too.
The new, slimmer models of the PS5 are here, almost three years to the day that the original console first started to arrive on people's doorsteps. Providing someone didn't replace your order with a bag of cat food, of course. The two new models weren't the only PlayStation launches today, though. The long-rumored detachable disc drive appears to be available now too, its Best Buy listing popping up alongside the one for the slimmer PS5s/
This is one of the best PS5 Black Friday deals available now.
Update 7/11/2023: Konami has said Best Buy "had the incorrect information" regarding Silent Hill 2 Remake's Pyramid Head origin story.
Silent Hill‘s Pyramid Head is, without a doubt, the franchise’s most infamous and mysterious creature. The strange pointy-headed revenant may end up being explained away in Bloober Team’s remake of Silent Hill 2, however, if Best Buy’s store listing is anything to go by.
Silent Hill 2 Remake includes a playable origin story for the series' most famous baddie Pyramid Head according to a Best Buy listing.
