This is a little depressing

You can save a little bit on an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership right now but, honestly, I expected a little more this Amazon Prime Day.

You can pick up 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership for just $44.99 (was $49.99) at Amazon. That's a $5 discount and significantly above the lowest-ever price of $24.99 at the retailer. Still, this could be a decent option if you're eager to top up at any kind of reduced price.

Prime Day deals can often be one of the best opportunities to stock up on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, with some decent discounts in past years. I'm a little underwhelmed by the savings this year, but at least there is some kind of offer available for savvy shoppers. 

This discount still puts Amazon cheaper than both Best Buy and Walmart right now, so at least it's not a complete disaster. Still, it would have been nice to see some offers on other membership lengths, like the popular 1 month option, or a bigger price cut.
