We're in full Starfield fever now, so if you're planning on picking up an Xbox Series X for the blockbuster release we'd recommend checking out this offer at Dell. The retailer has dropped the price of the console itself, and is throwing in a free $75 promotional gift card. That essentially drops the cost of the console down to $400 - a $100 discount all told.
Yes, you're splitting your savings between the $25 price cut on the device and the additional gift card, but with plenty of headsets, controllers, and other Xbox Series X accessories up for grabs at Dell there's plenty of value in here. We've have seen Xbox Series X deals drop the console down to $449 in the past, but without that extra value in gift card form.
We've never seen the value of an Xbox Series X bundle near $400 in the past, which makes this the most impressive offer on Microsoft's console to date. Yes, we've seen that $75 promo card around the shelves a few times, but not in conjunction with a saving as well. If you can put that Dell gift card to good use, it's a must-see as we turn the corner to Starfield's release date.
Should you buy an Xbox Series X?
Whether you've already got a PS5 and need a console for Starfield, or you're still torn between current generation machines, this offer works particularly hard to provide extra value. The Xbox Series X is a Game Pass machine though, so if you've already got a gaming PC capable of running Bethesda's upcoming blockbuster just fine, it might not make the most sense. Of course, an Xbox Series X is far cheaper than a powerful rig like that, but still offers far more power than the Series S. At this discounted rate, the Series X makes more sense than the cheaper digital-only console. You're spending a little more, but picking up more internal storage, adding a disk drive, and scoring 4K resolution - that's infinitely better value overall.
