WOW this is a REALLY good deal... That + GamePass for Christmas!
I wanted to get a third one (one of my kids is still using a Xbox One X) and the timing is perfect :)
The S is $250 plus free $50 gift card at Target until Saturday in the USA. Sold out online for shipping but plenty of stores have them for pick up as of right now.
that is a fantastic deal, will boost sales if numbers are available
Strong deal. The $199 price line is indeed Very attractive.
In my book, God of War and Pokémon still make PS5 and Switch the favorites to win BF, but Xbox sure is making a strong move to compete and "cover" their lack of exclusive games.
$199? It's regularly $299 USD, on sale for $249 USD, What's $199?
$249 + $50 giftcard > the $50 gift cards "kinda", makes Series S a $199 deal.
i'm talking about Target especific promotion.
Ah, gotcha. That makes sense. :)
This statement is weird:
"$249.99 at the Microsoft Store and select retailers in the US and Canada."
The Series S is on sale $50 off in the U.S. and $60 off in Canada. I think the statement is trying to suggest it's on sale for $249.99 in the U.S., and also on sale in Canada. But as written it incorrectly suggests it's on sale in Canada for $249.99 CAD, which it isn't.
It's $299.99 USD on sale for $249.99, and $379.99 CAD on sale for $319.99.
XBox pulling out the big guns.
I hope this means that they actually manufactured a fair few of these things. It would be such a waste to have these promotions and then not have enough stock of it.
This is such a great deal. Think it would be a good time to pick up a Series S for my kids. Id imagine many more parents will be doing the same thing and people wanting a secondary console to play the xbox exclusives that some Sony fans like to think dont exist.
Damn, I'm tempted to pick one up at that price. I sold my Series X in favor of my PC but I wouldn't mind having an S just for convience.
Got mine on Sunday bought it directly from Microsoft paid for it mostly with Microsoft/XBox rewards points.
So recent news of likely price hikes in the near future, followed quickly by a holiday discount.
This will make the price hikes afterwards sting less. Smart move by MS to soften the blow.
Where did Ms say again that they where raising the price of the console?.
Where did I say anything about consoles again?

Nice save but im sure we all know what you where insinuating with your post with that jab i mean its a quick turn around as you where saying before in another article the exact same thing about how they mean raising console prices and when people where pointing out they clearly meant "Game Prices". you insisted they could also be meaning Console prices. But at least now you no longer believe they are going to be raising console prices like Sony did am i right?.
They could be raising any prices. Who knows, maybe they'll keep the hardware sales price, then jack up individual game and service pricing like game pass, to not only offset the hardware loss but profit more overall next year.
There's many routes they could take, but now that Sony has both increased their software and hardware pricing, there's next to nothing stopping XB from following suit.
Was it not always $250? Im pretty sure i at least see it at $300 with a game.
Nope, has been at $300 since launch. Last Holiday it had a bundle with some cosmetics and in-game currency for Fortnite and Rocket League, but never a bundled game, and hasn't been less than $300 officially until now.
In European MediaMarkts, the S has been at 250 for weeks. The X for 450. Not selling out at all.
30 second check would verify that the X is still 499 lol.

Ah yes. The name of a console is a constant source of difficulty in my life
I don't know why you got downvoted. I'm an Xbox enthusiast, but I agree with you about this. :)
I hope they name any Series S refresh the S4 (or S^4). There was an Xbox 360 S, an Xbox One S, and now an Xbox Series S. So a refresh could be the fourth S.
Similarly a Series X refresh could be an X3 (or X^3). There was the One X, the Series X, and a third one could be a third X.
