If you go to Amazon’s Xbox Series S page you canfind the gaming console discounted to $239.99, which is already a great price. But now, if you buy it and use the codeXBOXduring checkout, you’ll ALSO get a $40 Amazon credit attached to your account. That’s an Xbox Series S essentially for just $200, which is insane.

The credit can’t be applied to your already purchased console, but you could use it to buy a new game or get anXbox gift cardto use towards a Game Pass subscription, or just buy yourself a Christmas sweater. We’ve also seen a lot ofgreat deals on Xbox controllers, too. The $40 credit is as good as cash for anyone that shops regularly on Amazon.

So, a few days ago Microsoft dropped the price of the Xbox Series S from $300 to $250. Since then, retailers have been going insane trying to get your attention. Never mind that it’s also Black Friday/Cyber Monday, they want you to buy your Xbox Series S with them. We’ve seen big incentives and even some direct price drops, the biggest of which isstill live on Woot where you can get the console for $219.99. Given that’s an actual direct discount that doesn’t require anything else from you, you could make the argument that’s the best Xbox Series S deal around, but recently Amazon added a little incentive of its own.

There are a few othergood console deals on the Xbox Series S and the Xbox Series X, including discounted Xbox All Access from Verizon. I’d argue though for the average online shopper who probably uses Amazon quite often, this deal is the best.
