Stop. Don't do it. Put the wallet down. I see that shiny new Xbox Series X in your Amazon basket but I'm here to tell you that you're about to make a huge mistake. There are loads of brilliant deals available as part of Amazon Prime Day, but its Xbox Series X discount isn't one of them.
Instead, you should get on down to Best Buy, who are currently offering the console for just $449.99 (was $449.99). Now that doesn't sound too remarkable, but this offer includes a free $50 gift card with your purchase. That effectively takes the price down to just $400 because, let's be honest, you were going to spend at least $50 on games for it anyway.
Stock has been a little hard to come by, but the lowest price that I've spotted for the Xbox Series X at Amazon over Amazon Prime Day has been $449.99 - and this doesn't include a free gift card. This makes the Best Buy deal a complete no brainer in comparison.
Today's best Xbox Series X deal
Still not fully committed to picking up an Xbox Series X? Well it's currently the most powerful console on the market and a serious step up from the Xbox One. Our Xbox Series X review praised its super fast loading times, brilliant performance with support for up to 4K and 120Hz gameplay, plus best-in-class backwards compatibility. Whether you're looking to play the latest hits like Baldur's Gate 3, Alan Wake 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and more or retro classics, you can't go wrong here.
This is one of the best Amazon Prime Day Xbox Series X deals that we've seen so far, even if it's not technically part of the sales event. You can browse even more great offers on a range of products below.
