You can’t keep a good deal down. Best Buy, Target, and Walmart still have the Xbox Series X down to $349. That’s $150 off the MSRP of a phenomenal current-gen video game console complete with a 4K Blu-ray compatible disc drive. This is a better deal than what we saw during Black Friday or Cyber Monday. It even arrives before Christmas, and this would make an amazing Christmas gift.
For Walmart, note that this Xbox is in stock in select areas. If you see it for $349, then it’s in stock and ready for delivery in your zip code. However, if you see the price at $399.99, then it’s out of stock and likely sold by a Walmart marketplace vendor.
Best Xbox Series X Deal: $349
For the record, this is a far better deal than the $439 price we saw during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Sometimes it pays to wait, apparently, even during the biggest sale event of the year. But it probably doesn’t pay to wait right now, as stock will likely be limited, and the price could go up any time.
The Xbox Series X is a current generation system able to drive 4K games at up to a glorious 120fps. It is technically a more powerful system than the PS5 and games that are compatible with both consoles usually perform better on the Xbox console. Compared to the $300 Xbox Series S, the X features more powerful hardware to enable it to run games in 4K (the Xbox Series S runs games at 1440p). The Xbox Series X also has a disc drive that can play 4K Blu-ray movies and physical game media and 1TB of internal storage.
Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for $95.99
Target recently dropped the price of the professional-grade Xbox Series X Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller in Red/Black to $95.99. It’s less expensive than the Black/White and Blue/Black variants. This controller wasn’t discounted at all during Black Friday and Cyber Monday and would make for an awesome holiday gift for any Xbox gamer who appreciates pro gaming features like adjustable-tension thumbsticks, wrap-around rubberized grip, and shorter hair trigger locks.
