Dell, for instance, is still offering the digital-only Xbox Series X (1TB) for $449.99, saving you $100 on the new MSRP. The smaller, 512GB Xbox Series S is also available at Walmart for just $273.99 ($106 off), while the 1TB model is going for $347 ($83 off) at Walmart.RelatedThe best Xbox controller to buy right nowMicrosoft’s Xbox app is now available on LG smart TVsIn case you need a refresher, the Series X is more powerful and capable than the smaller Xbox Series S. The Series X offers support for native 4K resolution, for example, while the smaller Series S is primarily designed for 1440p gaming. Microsoft’s higher-end console also offers 1TB of storage, double the base Series S, along with faster performance thanks to an expanded 12 teraflops of GPU performance.Both the disc-less Xbox Series X and Series S lack an optical drive, meaning they’re limited to playing digital titles. That being said, they can play all of the same titles, including those offered through Xbox Game Pass — including newer RPGs like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, along with former exclusives such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.Read our Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X reviews.Xbox Series S$274$38028% off$274The Xbox Series S is smaller than the 4K-capable Xbox Series X, but it can still play the same digital games — albeit topping out at 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution.Read More$274 at Walmart (512GB)Xbox Series X (1TB, all-digital)$450$55018% off$450The Xbox Series X is Microsoft’s flagship console, serving as its most powerful (and biggest) option focused on fast, 4K gameplay.
