Microsoft and Amazon have extended their Xbox console and games sales ahead of Christmas, with offers up to 60% off.
Both the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 are three years old now, and the benefit of that is that they’re now old enough that shops have started to discount them, since stock is no longer a problem.
That includes Black Friday, when both consoles came with big discounts and the Xbox Series X was as cheap as £350.
If you missed out on the Black Friday sales, however, you’re in luck because you can now pick up an Xbox Series X for even cheaper.
The Xbox Series X now costs £342.42 at Amazon, a 29% discount on it’s original retail price of £479.99.
The console comes with a controller and is the standard edition, which includes a disc drive that allows you to play physical copies too, as opposed to the Xbox Series S.
The Microsoft store has the Xbox Series X on sale too, at £369.99, while the Xbox Series S is slashed down from £249.99 to £209.99.
In fact, Microsoft doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo that Black Friday is over, as the Microsoft store still has sales up to 60% off on games like EA Sports FC 24, Starfield, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Hogwarts Legacy, and Alan Wake 2.
Even so, as with any discount, the deal won’t last forever, and stock might run out sooner rather than later. Obviously there’s only a few days left to buy one too, if you want it in time for Christmas.
It’s interesting that there’d be discounts so close to the big day though and bodes well for the more traditional new year sales, that will no doubt start the moment Big Ben finishes chiming.
