This Xbox Series X Best Buy deal (no, seriously) throws in a $100 gift card for Cyber Monday — hurry if you want to save

by

You’re seeing correctly – there’s a current offer on Xbox Series X consoles! It’s not a straight discount, but if you’re already planning to buy other items, you can still save money with this deal.

You can currently buy an Xbox Series X from Best Buy and receive a $100 gift card as part of the deal. This gift card could cover the cost of a brand-new game, or several older titles, depending on your choice!

Xbox console discounts and deals have been nonexistent lately

The Xbox Series X originally cost $500 when it came out in November 2020, but its price has increased significantly over the past year.

Microsoft has increased the price of its consoles in the U.S. twice, due to tariffs imposed during the Trump administration on the countries where its parts are made.

Now, the standard Xbox Series X costs a surprising $650. The white, all-digital version, which doesn’t have a disc drive, is $50 cheaper.

Xbox didn’t offer any official Black Friday discounts this year. The price of both the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles remained the same, even with recent price increases.

As a gamer, I’m telling you, this deal is amazing! It’s super unlikely we’ll find anything better than getting a $100 gift card with a new console. It’s not a straight-up price cut, but honestly, I can just use that gift card to buy some games at Best Buy, so it’s like saving money anyway!

FAQ

Does the Xbox Series X have a disc drive?

That depends on which Xbox Series X you choose. The black version and the special 2TB “Galaxy” version both play physical games, movies, and TV shows using a disc drive. However, the white version doesn’t have a disc drive and is designed for digital downloads only.

Can you expand the storage on the Xbox Series X?

Absolutely! You can use a standard USB hard drive for games not specifically designed for the newest Xbox Series X|S consoles. However, if a game *is* optimized for Series X|S, you’ll need to use the official storage expansion card, like the Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card.

What is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday was originally created as an online response to the in-store sales of Black Friday. However, the two shopping events have become so intertwined that Cyber Monday now largely functions as a continuation of the Black Friday discounts.
