Microsoft officially discounted the Xbox Series X in the US, a deal we originally thought to just be limited to the states. But, it is now apparent that this is not the case. Xbox Series X consoles have received an official £100 or more discount in the UK – dropping to £379.99 at Microsoft, and £359.99 at Amazon. This is a monumental saving, and well worth considering if you were considering buying a console for the holidays or as a gift for Christmas (yes, it’ll arrive on time).
That’s not all, however, as there are a bunch of other stellar Xbox deals to consider right now in the UK as well. This includes the Xbox Series S – Starter Bundle, including three months of Game Pass Ultimate, for just £199.99. This is a wonderful bundle deal that effectively saves you £88.96 overall. If you don’t want to steep to the £360 for the Series X, this is a great option as well.
There’s also the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller for just £79.99, which could be the cheapest we’ve ever seen the controller fall to. This is the Elite Series 2 edition which only includes the gamepad and none of the other features originally packaged with the Elite controller set. But, if you were interested in those extras, the Black Elite Series 2 controller is also on sale and includes them. It’s down to £94.99, which is once again the cheapest we’ve ever seen. Bethesda’s Starfield has also dropped to just £34.99 at Amazon if you’re interested.
This also begs the question, is this just a big holiday sale for Xbox, or should we be expecting even more hardware announcements in the near future? Only time can tell. For now, these deals are well worth checking out for the holidays and Christmas.
