Xbox Series S gets rare discount in last-minute Cyber Monday deal

Gamers looking to upgrade their console to the Xbox Series S can currently benefit from a rare discount if they shop via Amazon.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday has officially ended, but that doesn’t mean the savings have to stop.

Right now, Xbox users can snap up a 2024 Xbox Series S with 512GB of storage for £269.99.

That’s equivalent to 10 percent off the usual asking price, and while it's not a huge amount off, it's a rare opportunity to save some cash on the popular console which is still full price on the official XBox website.

A 1TB Xbox Series S is also discounted from £349.99 to £329.99.

It’s not exactly known when this Cyber Monday-inspired deal will come to an end, so it’s worth pulling the trigger on the deal sooner rather than later, especially if you’re planning on purchasing as a Christmas present.
