Imagine snagging a little something special for yourself this Black Friday, or maybe grabbing a head start on Christmas shopping for someone you care about. Walmart’s Black Friday sale is offering an irresistible deal on Microsoft’s premium gaming console, making it the perfect opportunity to treat yourself or someone else. For those eyeing the Xbox Series X, you’re in luck—a $50 discount is knocking down the usual price from $449 to a sweet $398.
The Xbox Series X isn’t just any gaming console—it’s a powerhouse under the hood. Sporting a custom Zen 2 CPU with 8 Cores running up to 3.8GHz, and paired with a custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU, this beast can deliver stunning 4K visuals at up to 120FPS when hooked to a compatible TV or monitor. Add a hefty 1TB of storage to the mix, which means your favorite games boot up in no time, and you’ve got yourself a truly top-tier gaming experience.
This particular model comes in a sleek “Robot-White” finish and is the digital edition, so you won’t find a disc drive here. Included are features like Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1, and USB 3.1 connections, all designed to deliver a complete gaming experience right in your living room. While the Series X has been around for a couple of years now, it still holds its ground as one of the top ways to enjoy gaming, and at this price, it costs less than a mid-tier PC graphics card.
What truly sets the Xbox Series X and Series S apart is their backward compatibility, giving you access to many games and accessories from previous Xbox consoles. Pair it with a Game Pass subscription, and you’re looking at a library brimming with hundreds of video games, including brand-new AAA titles available on launch day. Personally, I’ve embraced the Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which lets me play games on both my PC and the Series X. The cross-platform progression and saves are a game-changer, especially when I feel like ditching the office chair for the comfort of the couch and a bigger screen. It’s a fantastic feature that highlights the seamless gaming experience Microsoft has crafted.
