Xbox Series X
Microsoft’s ninth-generation console, the Xbox Series X is a powerful machine that can support 4K resolution and 60 fps, depending on the game. Released alongside the Xbox Series S, the Series X has a Custom AMD Zen 2 CPU, a Custom RDNA 2 GPU, and 16 GB of RAM.
Is the Xbox Series X a good deal on Prime Day?
If you’re in the market for an Xbox Series X, or a gaming console in general, Prime Day would be the best time to purchase. However, now that the day has come, we see that there is no deal on the Series X but rather on the Series S.
Furthermore, there are no other console deals available in stock on Prime Day, which typically has the deepest discounts of the year.
The Xbox Series S is part of the 9th generation of Xbox console, with the 10th generation only releasing in fall 2028, meaning you will have plenty of chances to make use of your new discounted gaming console should you choose to buy it on Prime Day.
Should you upgrade from the Xbox One X on Prime Day?
The Xbox Series S is the second best Xbox available. Since launch, many games have received Xbox Series S optimizations to provide the best gaming experience possible. It has been quite a while, by now, that the Xbox One X no longer provides the best experience possible, and with the price drops we see on Xbox Series S, now is the ideal time to up your game. Pair it with an Xbox Game Pass to unlock the full experience without drawbacks and play games new and old.
Should you buy an Xbox Series S on Prime Day?
The simple answer here is yes. The Xbox Series S is the cheaper sibling of the Series X and is there to fill a specific market need; budget gaming experience. However, with no deal on the Xbox Series X, one should consider the Series S if they want a new-gen console for cheap on Prime Day.
When does the Xbox Series S go on sale for Prime Day?
The Xbox Series S will be on sale for both days of Prime Day, on July 11th and July 12th. However, due to the nature of this deal, it is likely to sell out early on July 11th, so be ready early!
