While I would always recommend getting the Xbox Series X if possible, given its included disc drive and improved capabilities, for those who are after an affordable, digital-only experience, the Xbox Series S has become a little bit cheaper until 24 December. Xbox Australia has confirmed that “to support shoppers with any last-minute gifting needs”, the Xbox Series S will be available for $429.00 AUD / $469.00 NZD until Christmas Eve.
This discount will be available at many “leading” retailers, so if you wish to take part in this offer, be sure to check out your local electronics store.
The Xbox Series S is a digital-only, smaller-scale new-generation console, compared to the also available Xbox Series X. While it supports all games from the Xbox Series X, it is considered a budget option – with no ability to purchase hard copy games from retailers, and relying exclusively on the Xbox Marketplace.
