Update: Someone in the comments says they spoke with customer service and that the coupon cannot be used on Xbox One consoles any longer. You can check to see if that was a mistake for yourself, but it appears to be dead.
The Microsoft online store has an interesting opportunity for those looking to order an Xbox One, or even better the Titanfall Xbox One bundle. This deal isn’t completely for this, but it is the option that is most likely to attract visitors of this site.
If you text the “MSHS” to the number 29502, you will receive a unique code that will allow you to get 5% off what appears to be anything on the Microsoft online store. By doing this, you will only have to pay $274.99 for the console, plus tax. As a result, you might be better off ordering from Amazon if you are in a state that does not charge sales tax on Amazon purchases. However, if you live in one that does, this is likely worth the savings.
There is no word on how long this text promotion will last as it has already been going for about a week, so act sooner rather than later if you are interested.
