As of July 17, there’s a sweet deal worth checking out: you can snag $50 off the Xbox Series X, plus a bonus $50 gift card.
With Prime Day 2 in full swing, discounts are popping up all over the internet as retailers compete for our attention, coaxing us to open our wallets. Even Best Buy’s stepping into the ring with a console offer that’s hard to resist. For a short while, they’re offering a $50 discount on the Xbox Series X, Microsoft’s top-tier console, and throwing in a $50 gift card to buy something else in the store.
Don’t miss this: our shopping experts have unearthed more than 250 Prime Day deals that are truly worthwhile, including savings on Apple products, Echo devices, TVs, headphones, and more.
While this isn’t the deepest discount we’ve seen on the Xbox Series X — last December it dropped to $350 — it’s currently the best offer on consoles this year. Xbox has had a bit of a dry spell in terms of promotions since the PS5’s release, so it’s refreshing to see Microsoft’s leading console getting its moment in the spotlight.
If you think of that $50 gift card as a rebate, the console effectively costs you only $399.99. Considering the lingering supply chain issues and chip shortages facing both Sony and Microsoft, this is quite a steal.
Yes, Amazon is also listing the Xbox Series X for the same $449.99 price, but they’re not including a complimentary $50 gift card. They do offer a free $50 Xbox gift card if you purchase their $499.99 bundle, but in this case, Best Buy clearly has the edge.
