What to know
- Microsoft has reduced the price of the standard Xbox Series X (1TB Carbon Black) by $50, bringing it down to $449.
- The price cut makes the disc drive version the same price as the All-Digital Robot White edition.
- This early Black Friday deal is currently available in the United States through Xbox.com and major retailers like Best Buy.
Microsoft has made an early Black Friday move by slashing $50 off the price of its flagship gaming console, the Xbox Series X in Carbon Black. The standard edition, which includes a disc drive and 1TB storage, now retails on Best Buy and Microsoft for $449, down from its original price of $499.
In an interesting twist, this price reduction puts the standard Xbox Series X with a disc drive at the same price point as its All-Digital counterpart in Robot White. This makes the disc drive version a more attractive option for gamers who want the flexibility to play physical games and take advantage of backward compatibility features.
The price cut appears to be exclusive to the United States market at this time.
The Xbox Series lineup now spans various models and price points, from the entry-level Series S at $299 to the premium 2TB Series X at $599.
For those eyeing a new gaming console, this deal offers excellent value, especially considering the Xbox Series X’s capabilities as Microsoft’s most powerful gaming system to date. The timing of this discount suggests we might see even more competitive pricing as we approach the Black Friday shopping season.
Best Buy is sweetening the deal further by offering a $50 gift card with the purchase, making this an opportune time for gamers to upgrade their gaming setup or join the Xbox ecosystem.
