Xbox Series S Drops To Lowest UK Price Yet For Black Friday 2022

Tempting, but I feel like I'd just end up constantly wishing I had a Series X instead. If only they were doing a Series X deal too, that I would go for. Putting the thing close to £100 cheaper than the PS5 a month before Christmas might rack up some serious sales, although I know they'd be making a loss on the hardware.

@BionicDodo I have a Series S and I have absolutely no desire to own a Series X, I play games from GP (with the occasional sale purchase) so there's no reason for me to upgrade other than games looking a little bit nicer which isn't something that bothers me that much.

@Decoy_Snake I'm not super bothered about game resolution, but frame rate does bother me and I worry that some recent titles have been 60FPS on X and 30FPS on S. I'm sure it is down to bad optimisation, but that doesn't help me. I also like to own my favourite games on disc and would want to play all my old 360 and One disc games too. Another UHD blu-ray player in the house would be useful too. I'd be getting the S solely for the cost saving over the X, rather than it meeting my requirements, and that approach usually ends in regret for me. I'm glad the thing exists though as it clearly provides a lot of bang for buck for a lot of people. At that price it is crazy good value.

Awesome value, especially compared to the Switch... and overpriced PS5s!

Hard to beat as a game pass box....

I have a series X in the lounge series S in the bedroom both great consoles

its almost £300 cheaper than a disc ps5 now

Great value. Especially at a time when things are so expensive. This will make things a little bit more affordable for a lot of parents this Christmas.

Dang they really tryna move all the ones that have been sitting since launch

Smyths seem to have it for the same price for those that don't want to use Amazon

The Series S is a great machine, Alot of places in Canada are sold out.. I think this is gonna be a big holiday seller..

Not saying names or shop, but have been told to wait until this Friday for Series x price drop.
This is UK. This has mainly been bought on by the vast amount of Series X stock available in the UK currently.

As someone who bought both an S and X on launch day I can tell you that the S is very much worth it, it's a steal at this price, whether you want it as a second or main console, great machine, great deal.

It’s slowly beginning with the series x like I said early. Series x £450 same price but add £20 extra for second official controller. This is only shop incentives at the minute.

In the US, Target had an offer on the $249 package that would give you a $50 store gift card, netting it down to $200.

Not sure if that runs through Black Friday, not sure if the offer is online only, but they didn’t have it anymore for shipping. I got it for store pickup.

Awesome deal , got mines last year and have no regrets. Games look great and run really well. If I never had one I would be buying one 🤤

£189 is a pretty good answer to those asking the other day why does the series s exist isn’t it?

Great price for a gateway to get into ‘next gen’ games and a gamepass sub

Perfect price for a secondary console

That's a great price to get in on next-gen. But there are so few next-gen only games I don't see the worth in upgrading my Xbox One S just yet. If you've not got an Xbox though this deal is a no brainer.

For those wanting to snap up a controller and seen the price on the article for Amazon, its the same price for the UK Microsoft Store, so you can get the same deal + reward points.

I think this is an indication of the demand for series S since the X didn't also get a similar price drop

@BionicDodo I think if I was only playing games at 60 or better ot would really bug me but it's not an issue as long as the game runs well I'm not overly bothered about it
