GET $50 OFF PLUS A $50 GIFT CARD: As of July 17, you can get $50 off the Xbox Series X plus a $50 gift card.

Plus a free $50 gift card with purchase

It’s Prime Day 2, and the internet is swirling with discounts across multiple retailers, all vying for our attention and begging us to spend, spend, spend.

Best Buy is even getting in on the competitive action by offering a console deal we haven’t seen before. For a limited time, you can score a $50 discount on the Xbox Series X, the latest and more premium console in Microsoft’s lineup, plus a free $50 gift card to use on anything else in the store.

Sure, this isn’t the best deal we’ve seen on the Xbox Series X ever (it was $350 last December), but it’s the best console deal we’ve seen this year. Also, Xbox hasn’t gotten much love since the PS5 launched, so it’s nice to see Microsoft's flagship console getting some love.

If you consider the $50 gift card a rebate, you’re really only paying $399.99 for the actual console. This is a pretty good deal when you factor in the supply chain issues and chip shortages that have plagued both Sony and Microsoft over the past couple of years.

And, yes, Amazon does have the Xbox Series X console for the same $449.99 price tag, but they aren't throwing in a free $50 gift card. You can, however, get a free $50 Xbox gift card if you purchase the bundle for $499.99, so Best Buy essentially wins on this one.
