Ideal last minute gifts
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably left your holiday shopping right up until the last moment and are now finding yourself desperately scrambling to get your hands on some great gifts that will be delivered just in time for the big day.
Luckily, I’ve got you covered with some personal picks for great Xbox Series S deals that should arrive by Christmas day. Thanks to its more affordable price tag, the Xbox Series S is a great choice for gifting and could make for the perfect treat for the gamer in your life.
You can find the console in a range of attractive bundles in the US, like the Xbox Series S Starter Bundle which includes three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and is currently $249.99 at Walmart (was $299.99). Top accessories like the attractive Electric Volt Xbox Wireless Controller are also on a discount, with this desirable model just $45 at Walmart (was $64.99).
Similar deals are also available in the UK, where the Xbox Series S Starter Bundle is just £209.99 at Currys (was £249.99). The Electric Volt Xbox Wireless Controller is also reduced, now £49.95 at Amazon (was £59.99).
The Xbox Series S is compatible with all of the best Xbox Series X games and comes in a super small and convenient size.
