Xbox Series X Gets Huge Discount At Newegg

If you’ve been looking to join the current generation of console gaming and save some cash in the process, then this deal on an Xbox Series X console is for you. Discounted to $440 with promo code ZIPFEST12, this Newegg deal shaves $60 off the usual $500 price of the console, which rarely goes on sale.

It’s important to note that this deal is only available if you use Zip to pay. Zip is an interest-free installment plan that lets customers pay off items across four equal payments. Since you won’t be charged any interest, this caveat isn’t a huge deal at all. You’ll simply pay $110 (plus your sales tax) each month for the next four months.

Featuring a vertical tower design–or a cubic horizontal design depending on how you position it–the Xbox Series X has incredibly impressive hardware and one of the best controllers on the market. While the Xbox wireless controller doesn’t have the same fancy haptic feedback technology of the PS5’s DualSense controller, it is ergonomically superior for many users, has a long battery life using either AA batteries or a rechargeable unit that’s sold separately, and has excellent build quality.

The Xbox Series X has a 1TB SSD that combines with Xbox Velocity architecture to not only load up games at a lightning-quick speed, but also keep them suspended using the Quick Resume function. If the game supports it–and many of them do–you can use Quick Resume to switch between games almost instantly and pick up from where you last left off.

Additionally, a subscription to Microsoft’s Game Pass service is excellent value for money, as it unlocks a library of new, exclusive, and cult-classic games on the Xbox Series X. Alternatively, if the Xbox Series X is still too pricy for you, the Xbox Series S is worth looking at.

The smaller sibling to the Series X, the Series S features the same quick-loading technology, but in a more compact frame that has a smaller 500GB SSD and is more focused on 1080p gaming. You’ll still be able to play the same games on that system, and it comes with the same controller.
