Save $25 on an Xbox Series X console with this limited-time discount
Get a rare reduction on the Microsoft console's $500 RRP.
The Xbox Series X, Microsoft's premium console, boasts superior specs compared to the Series S. For starters its 1TB SSD offers much more storage capacity than the smaller 512GB drive in the digital-only console. The Series X also has three times the processing power, the ability to play in 4K, and a physical disc drive. In contrast, the Series S delivers only a third of the Series X's processing power, has a lower rendering resolution and no disc drive to play physical games or Blu-ray discs.
The bonuses of opting for the Series X might come with a higher price tag of $500/£450, however, thanks to a discount code on the VG247 eShop, there's an opportunity to get a new Series X console for cheaper than you can on Amazon.
To do this you'll need to make use of the code "VG247" on the VG247 eShop. You'll need to buy five $100 Xbox Gift card codes, which are $95 a piece with the code, then use that balance to buy the Series X from the Microsoft store.
The "VG247" code that saves 5 per cent on your basket expires at the end of the month, July 31st. So, if you've been thinking about getting a new Xbox console, or want to top up Xbox Game Pass subscription for your new or current console then do it before the discount goes away!
Here's where to get the codes and remember to select your language and region when you first visit the VG247 eShop using the prompt on-screen:
Xbox Credit Codes US | Microsoft Xbox Gift Card $100- $95 at VG247 eShop using code "VG247" |
 | Microsoft Xbox Gift Card $50- $47.50 at VG247 eShop using code "VG247" |
 | Microsoft Xbox Gift Card £100- £95 at VG247 eShop using code "VG247" |
 | Microsoft Xbox Gift Card £50- £47.50 at VG247 eShop using code "VG247" |
This works in both the UK and US, so just buy either five $500 codes or four £100 and a £50 code from the shop using "VG247" at checkout, then buy the console from the Microsoft store in your region and get the Series X for $475/£427.50.
This will also work for the other Xbox consoles, so you can get an Xbox Series S for $285.00/£237.50 if you purchase three $100 codes to buy it in the US, or two £100 and a £50 code to get the console in the UK.
Or, if you wanted to go in the middle and get the upcoming 1TB Series S console, which is the same as the current one but in Black and with a bigger SSD, you can get it for $332.50 by purchasing three $100 codes and one $50 codes to buy it in the US, or for £285 from buying three £100 Xbox Gift Cards to get the new console in the UK
