Cyber Monday is in full swing, and that means some extra-hot deals are turning up. It doesn’t get much hotter than a huge discount on a popular game console. That’s just what Amazon has on offer in its sale, discounting the powerful Xbox Series X (and an included controller) to just $400 with an immediate 10% price cut and a $49 coupon.
The Xbox Series X makes a great gaming console and media device, so it can serve as a powerful addition to your home entertainment setup. Be sure to clip the on-page coupon for maximum savings.
The Xbox Series X is a serious piece of hardware. It’s a bit bigger than you might be used to from game consoles, but that lets it provide the computing muscle required for higher graphical fidelity and 4K gaming while allowing for quiet cooling. It can output to 4K, 120Hz displays as well, letting you take advantage of extra smooth visuals for your games. With 1TB of storage, you’ll also get a good chunk of space for your game library. USB ports on the rear can provide connectivity for even more storage while a special expansion slot works with storage expansion cards that you can run modern-gen games directly from.
It’s not just gaming the Xbox Series X is good for, though. You can install a wide variety of streaming apps onto the console and use it as a source device in your media center. It also has an optical drive that can read DVDs and Ultra HD Blu-ray discs if you prefer physical media.
Steep discounts like this on game consoles don’t come around too often, so if you’ve been waiting to bite on the Xbox Series X, now’s a great opportunity. That said, if you want an even more affordable Xbox, we’ve got another deal you need to see.
Check out this all-time low price on the new Xbox Series S Carbon Black. It sports a roomier 1TB drive for extra space.
If you don’t need an optical disc drive, the new Xbox Series S with its larger internal storage might be your ideal console.
