If you’ve been waiting (for years) to purchase an Xbox, today is the day your patience will pay off. For Prime Day, Amazon has the Xbox Series S with one controller and 512GB of storage on sale for just $199. That’s down from the usual cost of $269—a current gen console for less than $200 is a good deal.
It’s a refurbished one, but they promise it’s fully working, clean, and in excellent condition. But if it doesn’t work as expected, you’re eligible for a replacement or refund within 90 days.
Being behind-the-curve in gaming-time can pay off. And in fact, this is a perfect time in the “console life cycle” to grab an Xbox. The game catalog is deep, the bugs have been worked out, and the prices are low.
While you’re in a retailing mood, why not pair your new Xbox with this Amazon Fire 32" television for $129.99, and maybe this cooling and charging stand for $35.99? You could have a complete, cheap-as-chips gaming experience in a matter of days.
