There’s a great Xbox Series S bundle and bonus controller for sale on eBay while supplies last. The bundle is just $290 (normally $360) and includes the Xbox Series S console (which comes with a 512GB drive and controller in the box), plus an extra controller for you and your co-op partner to get started. to play together once everything is set up.
$290 (was $360)
This deal saves you $70 off the normal bundle price, so you’re essentially getting the extra controller for free plus a little discount on the Series S console. You can use that remaining money to buy a new game or two on the Microsoft Store. The offer also includes free standard shipping worldwide (with some exceptions), as well as a 30-day money-back guarantee on returns if you change your mind. We have no idea how long it will be available, but it’s selling out fast, so jump on the deal if you’re interested.
As we said in our first Xbox Series S review, the console is the perfect option for those who don’t want to shell out for the bigger, more powerful Series X. While not as powerful as the Series X, the Series S can play all the same games as the Xbox Series X, and its 1440p maximum resolution is still a respectable visual upgrade over the Xbox One.
The S-Series is also a digital-only device; it doesn’t have a disc drive like the Series X does. There are pros and cons to going all-digital, but data space and price are the most important considerations. Xbox Series X|S games are quite large files that take a while to download, and you’ll only be able to keep a few of them installed before the Series S’s 512GB runs out (unless you buy a disc bigger drive instead). You’ll also need to buy digital versions of any games you want to play or subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which pairs extremely well with Series S.
Still, the Series S is absolutely a viable option for playing the latest Xbox games, and may even be the preferred option thanks to its smaller size and all-digital experience. If that’s you, definitely check out the eBay deal while it’s still available.
