If $240 isn’t low enough for you on Black Friday sales, how about $220? They’re practically giving it away, but we won’t complain because it’s a great deal on the Xbox Series S. The Xbox Series S is now only $219.99. That’s $80 less than list price and probably one of the best deals of the year.
Yes, before you ask, Woot is highly trusted and a perfectly legitimate deal. Woot is owned by Amazon, so consider buying from the retail giant instead If you jump on this deal, I’d better be quick because it’s only available while supplies last, or until the end of the day on November 30th.
Xbox Series S drops to just $219.99 (an $80 savings)
We saw a $40 Amazon gift card deal (+ just $240 for the console) during Black Friday, but since that’s gone it’s the next best thing and worth considering.
The Xbox Series S is typically $200 less than the Xbox Series X, but it can still play the same games. It lacks the performance of the Series X, so games are rendered at 1440p instead of 4K to maintain consistent graphics at 60fps – the 120fps you’d expect.
But it retains other next-gen Xbox features like Game Pass, Quick Resume, and super-fast loading times. If you don’t have a 4K TV, or think $280 might be a better investment elsewhere, the Xbox Series S might be a smart purchase.
Disclosure: This is an international model of the Xbox Series S, but it will still work well in North America. Modules can be supplied with printed material mainly in Spanish. Xbox Series S purchases from Woot are covered by Woot’s 90-day warranty. The standard Xbox warranty does not apply to this purchase.
