Starting this week, several retailers across the U.S. will be offering extra free games as well as other cool bonuses with each Xbox One bundle sold.

Xbox Live program director Larry Hyrb recently released an outline of these offers on a post on his "Major Nelson" blog site.

As stated above, the offers apply to all Xbox One bundles, most of which already have one or more games.

GameStop also has a trade-in deal where interested takers can purchase a new Xbox One for only $100 when they trade-in an Xbox One or a PlayStation 4.

The deals could not have come at a more perfect time as the holiday season is fast approaching, bringing with it exclusive AAA titles as well as a plethora of backwards-compatible games to the Xbox One.

Buying a new Xbox One now is also just in time for Microsoft's Windows 10 update for its current-generation gaming console.

The Windows 10 integration to the Xbox One will bring a slew of enhanced UI both on the visually and the performance aspect. The Xbox One will see an increase in overall speed while having better support for the incoming onslaught of backwards-compatible games, per Tech Radar.

The Windows 10 update for Xbox One will be available starting Nov. 12.
