Though it's been over three years since they were first released, deals on next-gen consoles have been pretty slim since they hit shelves back in 2020. Which is what makes this Xbox Series X deal such an incredible bargain. Right now, you can pick up the latest and greatest Microsoft console for just $349 at Walmart, which saves you a whopping $150 compared to the usual price. Other retailers like GameStop, Amazon and Microsoft have it on sale for $400, which is still $100 off. Plus, there are some bundle deals available that can help you snag select games like Diablo IV and Forza 5 at a discount. However, all of these offers have been pretty touch-and-go since they went live, so we'd recommend getting your order in ASAP if you're hoping to take advantage of these serious savings. 

The Xbox Series X is Microsoft's most powerful gaming console, with the ability to hit 4K resolution at high refresh rates. That's compared with the Xbox Series S, typically a more budget-friendly offering that maxes out at 1080p. The Series X can also take game discs, unlike the Series S, which is digital-only. Best Buy currently has the Series S with 512GB of storage on sale for $250, including three months of Game Pass Ultimate.

If you don't have a powerful gaming PC or prefer the console experience, the Series X is ideal, especially since you can use it to access Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and all the games on it. That means you can try games on a whim without shelling out as much as $70 per title, and with 1TB of internal storage, you shouldn't run into many space issues.
