  "account": "Amazon is slashing over $30 off its white Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller in the lead-up to Prime Big Deal Days, which commence on October 6. The discounted price has dropped from $149.99 to $111.74, saving customers $38.25. This is a significant discount, especially ahead of the retailer's second major Prime Day sale. The Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller is a high-end pick due to its customizability, featuring adjustable-tension thumbsticks, a wrap-around rubberized grip, shorter hair trigger locks, interchangeable components, and button mapping options. It also boasts a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 40 hours per charge. The white model is currently the only one marked down to this price at Amazon. However, as Prime Big Deal Days approaches, more Xbox deals are expected. Note that this sale only runs for 48 hours, ending on October 7, so it's essential to mark your calendar and set a reminder to take advantage of these deals.",
