The Xbox Series X is currently available for $449 at Dell for Prime Day, bringing the price for the premium gaming console down substantially from its regular price. This is part of the multiple retailers that are joining in on the Prime Day extravaganza, and it follows a period of relative console scarcity due to component shortages and high demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, however, with production and inventories stabilizing, console gamers are starting to see the benefits, with both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 seeing discounts.
The Xbox Series X is a fantastic piece of hardware, with specs that still hold up against the PlayStation 5. It features a custom 8-core/16-thread AMD Ryzen CPU and an RDNA 2-based GPU with 16GB of GDDR6 memory, allowing it to play games in 4K resolution at up to 120 fps through HDMI 2.1.
If you’re looking to expand the storage on the Xbox Series X, you’re in luck, as the console has a rather nifty trick up its sleeve. The internal storage is a good 1TB, but you can also expand it through a proprietary external connector, meaning storage expansion cards from Seagate and Western Digital will work just fine.
If you’re looking for a console bundle, Dell is also offering the Xbox Series X Forza Horizon 5 bundle at a discounted price of $509, down from its regular price of $559. You can check out the full listing for both the console and the bundle below:
Microsoft Optimistic About Future
Microsoft, as always, remains optimistic about its future despite the PlayStation 5 outselling its Xbox Series X by a considerable margin. The company recently overcame a court challenge by the FTC regarding its acquisition of Activision-Blizzard, meaning it’ll be able to bring even more exclusive games to the Xbox family of consoles via the acquisition.
We’ve also got a comprehensive guide for the best monitors for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, so if you’re looking to upgrade your console, you’re definitely going to want to pair it with a nice display.
