Get an Xbox One S with a new game for £169.99 on Black Friday

The best Black Friday offers on the cheapest console around.

It's Black Friday! We made it, folks. It's the big day, and therefore it's time for the biggest discounts. Although traditionally Black Friday involved arming up with make-shift weapons and trotting down your local super-store to fight fellow consumers in frenzied battle, these days you can do it all online, free from danger, yet with unfettered access to all the deals. We've been tracking the console deals as they're dropping. That's specifically the Xbox One S, if you're looking for its beefier sister check out our page listing all the best Xbox Black Friday deals.

Last night Amazon, Argos and Currys set their Xbox One prices plummeting. You're looking at around £169.99 for a brand new Xbox One S with a recently released game. Larger bundles heaped with numerous titles, or additional controllers can also be got for under £200, with a few select bundles with the really recent games retailing at around £220. Here's the best deals we've found thus far, for your perusal.

  • Xbox One S with Assassins Creed:Odyssey and an additional wireless controller for £209.99
  • Xbox One S with Red Dead Redemption and Fortnite for £219.99
  • As it's the big day, we feel there may be a chance of prices on the Xbox One dropping further, but that it's unlikely to be a significant saving, at least within the online space. For now, these deals are solid and are infact, already selling like hot cakes. Retailers such as AO also have price match guarantees, which promise you money back if their prices on the item plummet any further in the wake of Black Friday weekend. Regardless, we'll be keeping this page up to date with the latest Xbox One S deals and offers. If you're looking for new games, accessories and general trinkets for your new console, be sure to keep an eye on our Xbox One Black Friday deals hub. Happy deal hunting folks and let us know in the comments how the sales are treating you.
