Best Xbox Series X and Series S deals: discounts and bundles

digitaltrends.com:

The latest generation of the Xbox has some excellent upgrades, such as a quick pause-and-play function and the option to buy a cheaper digital-only option. Luckily, both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are easier to come by now compared to when they launched and stock was low. That means there are a lot of great deals you can take advantage of right now, and, much like with PlayStation deals, looking around for the best deals will get you much better prices. To that end, we’ve gone out and scoured all the big and small retailers for some of our favorite deals out there.

Xbox Core Wireless Controller — $57, was $65

Whichever Xbox you buy, you get a standard controller but how about having one that shows off some of your personality? Or one that means you can play games on the couch with your buddies or family. That’s where the Xbox Core Wireless Controller is so useful. Available in many different colors, you get all the benefits of an ergonomic design with sculpted surfaces and refined geometry for enhanced comfort. Up to 40 hours of battery life is convenient while it connects via Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth so you can use it with your PC, phone or tablet too.

$100 Xbox Gift Card — $94, was $100

It’s often far more convenient to buy games digitally so you simply wait for them to download rather than need to head to a store or wait for delivery. As well as that, you can buy in-game currency, memberships, movies or TV shows, so an Xbox Gift Card is a must-have. Buy this deal and you effectively get free money too with 6% off proving far better value than spending the regular way. There’s no need to spend it all at once either so you could use it as a gift that keeps giving over time.
