Cheapest Xbox consoles & games for Black Friday

Series S 512GB £199, Series X 1TB £424

It’s a mixed bag of Xbox deals this year, with solid discounts on the Xbox Series S but some not-so-strong discounts on the Series X console.  

We’re also seeing little in the way of bundle deals, although there are some strong price drops on games.

Here’s what we spotted on 29 November 2024:

Xbox model

Normal price

 Cheapest we’ve spotted

Xbox Series S (512GB)

£299.99

£199 at EE*. This is the cheapest price it’s been in 2024, but the same discount as last Black Friday. But we did see it for £189 last year.

£199.99 at Amazon*, Argos and Smyths.  

Xbox Series X (1TB)

£499.99

£423.97 at Amazon*. However, we saw it as low as £349.99 last year. DEAL EXPIRED

Here are a few offers we’ve spotted on Xbox games:

  • FC25 (normally £69.99) – £34.99 at Xbox. We did see it slightly cheaper at £33.94 earlier in the year, but this is a solid discount nonetheless.



  • Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (normally £69.99) –  

    £19.99 at

    Currys*

    . This is the lowest price we’ve seen all year. We couldn’t spot any discounts on the recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. 

     DEAL EXPIRED



  • Elden Ring (normally £69.99)

    £27.95 at

    Amazon*

    . It’s been as low as £22.95 at Amazon this year, however. 

     DEAL EXPIRED



  • Hogwarts Legacy (normally £69.99) – £14.99 at Very. This is the cheapest price we’ve seen it this year.



  • Cyberpunk 2077 (normally £69.99) – £22.49 at Xbox. This is as cheap as we’ve seen it this year.

Important: Don’t get taken in by the hype around Black Friday and sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.

MSE Matt says:

There are four main differences between the cheaper Xbox Series S and more expensive Xbox Series X consoles: display, storage (although both consoles are available in 1TB versions), disk tray, and size.

Although the Xbox Series X is bigger and has better graphics, the Xbox Series S might be more for you if you've an older TV and limited space, as it's 60% smaller in size. Got Xbox games on disk that you want to play? Go with the Xbox X, as the S console doesn’t have a disk tray.

£150+ discounts on Xboxes? 

Last year, the Xbox Series X sold for £359 (normally £500) 

We saw widespread Xbox discounts last year, with strong deals on the Series X console in particular. Watch out for similar offers this time around.   

Retailers are currently offering modest discounts on Xboxes, although past price drops suggest there'll be better deals closer to Black Friday itself. We’re predicting at least £150 and £100 discounts on the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S respectively, so it's probably best to hold tight on buying an Xbox until Black Friday. We'll list the best deals on Xboxes and games here on the day, including console bundle deals.  

Here are the best Xbox deals we found last Black Friday AND during 2024.

If you answer 'NO' to any of the following questions, don't buy.

Are you

Skint? Ask:

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
