The newest Black Friday deal is already under way — and the deals start as low as 10 cents.

Microsoft is on a “10” kick because of its Windows 10 operating system (which, the company reminds us, just passed 110 million device installs). Thus, 10 days of deals — now through November 29 — with prices on digital items starting at just a dime.

Albums for $1 include “Lazaretto” by Jack White, “Title” by Meghan Trainor and “Four” by One Direction.

Meanwhile, as we already knew, the Xbox One will be available in console bundles starting at $299 — including at least one game — which is the cheapest we’ve ever seen them. Meanwhile gamers can try Xbox Live Gold for one month for $1 and pick up Battlefield Hardline $27.99 ($23.99 w/Gold), Evolve for $20 or $16, Halo Master Chief Edition for $34.99 or $29.99, or Mortal Kombat X $34.99 or $29.99.

Furthermore, Microsoft has also announced the “Work and Play Bundle” — which includes a one-year subscription to Office 365 Home, Xbox Live Gold, Skype Unlimited World, Wi-Fi hotspot, Assure software support, plus a $60 promotional gift card — will cost just $149.

Microsoft’s PC partners are also introducing dozens of deals on Windows 10 devices. The one that caught our attention: the Lenovo IdeaCentre Stick 300 (which turns any TV into a full-on Windows PC) is now $69. It’s a near doppelgänger to the Intel Compute Stick pictured above.
