New Xbox Series S Deal Comes With the Console and Free Game

gamerant.com:

A new set of deals for Microsoft's game console, the Xbox Series S, have surfaced on several retailers' websites. The promotion comes a month after the Xbox Summer Sale and offers a tempting selection of games bundled with the sub-$300 gaming system. The games are available from Microsoft Store, Amazon, and GameStop, with offers differing depending on the seller.

The Xbox Series S is of course the entry-level model for Microsoft's fourth-generation console, which offers most of the features of its sibling at a more affordable price. Now for the regular $299.99 price, the offer includes not only getting the console with one wireless controller but also a digital game from a selection of several titles. Typically, prices for these bundles range between $350 and $360. Finding the preferred game from Microsoft's own bundles also gifts the buyer with an additional $10 discount beyond what the promotion offers elsewhere.

Rumor: Game Pass Could Be Adding PlayStation Console Exclusive

The games include AAA titles, like the critically-acclaimed Elden Ring, Madden NFL 23, and Halo Infinite, but vary depending on whether the purchase is made via GameStop, Amazon, or Microsoft. At this point, Walmart, eBay, or Best Buy don't seem to be offering the promotion.

Here's the list of games available on Amazon:

Microsoft offers only three games with its bundles, one of which isn't available via Amazon. So for an extra $10 discount, the choice is between LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga — Standard Edition, F1 22, and newly-released Madden 23. However, it looks like GameStop has the best selection of games available for bundling. The game store's approach is a little different, as the shopper adds a game from a larger selection to the cart
