Console deals are pretty much par for the course during these sales events like Prime Day or Black Friday. But this one is slightly different. I mean, yes, it is a console at an insane price, but there’s an extra carrot on the end of the stick this year. Not sure about you, but just reading about the upcoming Starfield game has me scrambling to buy an Xbox so I can spend my entire winter exploring space.
I think a lot of people would be doing the same thing while Xbox consoles were at full price, but now thanks to Prime Day, you can grab yourself a certified refurbished Xbox Series S for just £149.99. Coming down from £249.99, that’s a huge drop in price. Plus, if you top up your account by £40, Amazon will also give you another £5 off. So you’re getting the console for just £145 instead; that’s an insane price even for a refurb.
Not convinced by the Starfield argument? Well for starters, it’s a Bethesda game, so the only way you’re going to be able to play it is if you play it on either PC or Xbox Series X/S. Secondly, have you read about it?! What, you don’t want to spend hundreds of hours exploring a vast open universe featuring over a thousand planets, each with its own characters, quests, and collectibles? I don’t believe you.
You can read more about it from our precis of the Direct that occurred last month. Needless to say, plenty of people are salivating for this one. The release date has been set for the 6th of September. As this falls well before Black Friday, this is likely to be the cheapest price to find a compatible console before the game’s release. Don’t miss out.
