If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

Cheapest Xbox consoles for Black Friday
Series S 512GB bundle £189, Series X 1TB (console only) £359
ExpiredMany people use Black Friday as an opportunity to grab the gift of a console for Christmas, so we've put together the best prices on Xbox consoles that we've seen.
The cheapest price we spotted for the latest model (Xbox Series X) during Black Friday last year was £429. This price did go down to £331 back in April on Amazon from a third party, but that was the exception rather than the rule, and £359 is the best price so far for Black Friday 2023 so if you can find one at this price point or less from a reputable retailer you're getting a good deal.
Xbox console prices we spotted on Thursday 23 November:
- Xbox Series S (512GB) – £189 at Amazon* in bundle with thee months of Game Pass Ultimate (normally about £25 separately). Same price (console only) at Smyths. Next cheapest we found, £199 at Currys* and Very (console only). For reference, £209.99 at Microsoft (console only).
- Xbox Series X (1TB) – £359 at Amazon*, Very and Currys*, £359.99 at Smyths and Microsoft. Next cheapest, £379 at AO.com*
- Xbox Series X (1TB) bundle – £369.99 with Forzon Horizon 5 at Smyths. Next cheapest we found, £409.99 at Argos. Alternatively, £380 with Diablo IV at Amazon*. Next cheapest we found, £389.99 at John Lewis*.
Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be 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.

Series S £189, Series X £429.99
ExpiredSupermarkets and high street stores are running Black Friday discounts on Xbox games, but there aren't huge discounts on the consoles themselves.
The average price we spotted for the latest model (Xbox Series X) in November 2022 was £449. This price did go down to £429 back in August on Amazon, so if you can find one cheaper than this, you'll be getting a decent price.
Xbox console prices we spotted at 8.50am on Friday 25 November:
- Xbox Series S - £189 at Currys* and Very. Next cheapest, 189.99 at Microsoft and Smyths. £199.99 with a £10 Game gift card and an England bucket hat at Game*.

- FIFA 23 (Xbox Series X) - £41.99 for a digital code at Amazon*. £46.99 for the physical game at Currys*, next cheapest, £47.99 at Smyths.
Important: Don't allow yourself to get caught up in the Black Friday hype, and only ever buy what you need and can afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you’ve found the best deal – don't just take a retailer's word for it.
Before buying, we'd recommend checking console prices at retailers including Amazon*, Currys*, Smyths, John Lewis*, AO.com* and Argos*.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
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.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
