Xbox Series S drops to lowest ever price, but discount ends tonight

The pint-sized Xbox is available for its cheapest price ever for the latest Prime Day sales. One of the best Prime Day deals available is on the Xbox Series S, as right now you can get a refurbished console for the bargain price of £189.99. That’s £40 cheaper than a refurbished Series S usually costs, and £60 cheaper than a brand new console.

It’s also by far the cheapest way you can get into next-gen gaming, and is hundreds of pounds cheaper than the Xbox Series X and the PS5 Disc or Digital consoles.

Anyone interested in this deal needs to act quick though as this bargain Xbox Series S deal is only available for Prime Day, which finishes after today (Wednesday, October 12).

As with all other Prime Day deals, to take advantage of the offer you need to be an Amazon Prime member.

If you’re not already you can simply sign-up to an Amazon Prime free trial which will unlock this Xbox Series S deal for you.

While the deal running right now offers an Xbox Series S at a great price there are a few important things to point out.

You won’t be getting a brand new console if you get this deal, as it’s a refurbished model.

However, all Certified Refurbished products at Amazon have undergone a rigorous certification process to make sure it’s working properly.

Explaining how this works Amazon said: “This Xbox Series S (Certified Refurbished) has been put through a rigorous certification process, tested to confirm it’s working properly, and inspected for hardware and cosmetic quality. Refurbished to original specifications for electric performance. Unit may contain cosmetic imperfections.”

If you’re planning on getting an Xbox Series S then the ideal companion to this is an Xbox Game Pass membership.

Dubbed by many as gaming’s answer to Netflix, Game Pass is a subscription based service that offers access to hundreds of games – including first-party Microsoft games that are available Day One.

Xbox Game Pass costs just £7.99 a month while an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription – which lets you play multiplayer games online via Xbox Live Gold and offers access to the EA Play streaming service – is £10.99.

If you’re new to Game Pass then you can get your first month’s access for just £1.
