Target has the best Xbox Series S deal we’ve seen since launch. For $250, you get the Series S as well as an additional wireless controller . This bundle is valued at $360, so it’s pretty darn good. Although we’ve seen discounts on the Series S this year, outright discounts on consoles in new condition have been rare. When deals came up, they didn’t include a bonus like a controller.
This offer is available as part of Target Sale Days promotion, which runs from October 6 to 8. The Deal Days promotion has once again competed with the second Amazon Prime Day of the year. Prime Day, however, doesn’t start until October 11, so Target is getting ahead of its competition.
$250 (was $360)
The Xbox Series S sale is technically available until October 8, but we wouldn’t be surprised if the retailer sold out before the end of the event. The Xbox Series S offers solid value when listed at its full price of $300, but add a second wireless controller and drop its price by $50, and you have one of the best ways to watch today’s most popular games. If you are interested in this offer, we recommend that you get it quickly.
Altogether, you are saving about $110 with this package.
Unlike its more expensive sibling, the Xbox Series S won’t run titles in native 4K and lacks an optical drive for playing physical games. On top of that, you’ll get access to the same incredible library as Xbox Series X. Game Pass Ultimate is a particularly good match for Xbox Series S, as you’ll get access to hundreds of digital games for one low monthly fee.
Target has plenty of other great deals during its Deal Days event. Whether you’re looking for a new game, headset, or other accessory, you’re bound to find something that catches your eye. If you’re looking for a particular game or just want a good deal, be sure to check out our roundups of the best early Prime Day deals for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch too.
