Fancy treating yourself to an awesome gaming gift this Black Friday, or maybe scoring an early Christmas gift for someone special? Walmart’s got you covered with a fantastic deal that could be just what you’re looking for. Thanks to their Black Friday bargains, an opportunity is on the table to snag Microsoft’s high-end gaming console and keep an extra $50 in your pocket compared to the usual price tag.
Ordinarily, the Xbox Series X retails for about $449, but in Walmart’s Black Friday frenzy, you can bag one for a cool $398. Built with gaming in mind, the Xbox Series X boasts a custom Zen 2 CPU featuring 8 Cores running at 3.8GHz, alongside a custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU ready to deliver stunning 4K visuals at up to 120FPS on any compatible TV or monitor. Plus, with 1TB of storage space, you’ll have all your favorite games installed and ready to dive into in no time.
This particular version shows off a stylish “Robot-White” color and is the digital-only model, which means it skips out on the disk drive. The console doesn’t just stop at gaming; it offers Dolby Atmos for enhanced audio, HDMI 2.1, and USB 3.1 connectivity, ensuring an immersive gaming experience right in your living room. Even though the Series X has been in the game for a few years, it remains one of the finest ways to get your gaming fix and comes at a price point cheaper than a mid-range graphics card for PCs.
One of the standout features of this console, as well as its sibling the Series S, is its backward compatibility with a broad range of games and accessories from previous Xbox iterations. Coupled with a Game Pass subscription, suddenly, a world of hundreds of video games is at your fingertips, including day-one releases of the latest AAA titles. Having a Game Pass Ultimate subscription myself, I switch between my PC and Series X, enjoying games with progress and saves that seamlessly sync between platforms. It’s pretty sweet being able to kick back in the living room, playing these games on a bigger screen when I want to give the PC a rest.
So, whether you’re treating yourself or someone else, this deal is worth considering. Happy gaming!
