The New Xbox Series X Digital Console Is Discounted For Black Friday

The Xbox Series X All-Digital released on October 15, so the fact that it's on sale already is pretty cool. The All-Digital swaps Carbon Black for Robot White, matching the Series S. Internally, this is the same console as the regular Series X, just without a disc drive. That means it's capable of playing games in 4K resolution with the best performance possible on the Xbox platform.

All Xbox Series X|S owners should give Game Pass Ultimate a try, but it's especially valuable if you opt for a model without a disc drive, such as the new Series X All-Digital. You can get three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $50 at Amazon, 10 bucks cheaper than buying directly from Microsoft.

The Xbox Series S has received surprisingly few discounts this year, so we wouldn't be surprised if this deal sold out in the coming days. Like the All-Digital Series X, the Series S only plays digital games. The Series S maxes out at 1440p resolution, though frame rates when running at its best resolution vary by game.

If you want the best performance for graphically demanding games, the Series X or Series X All-Digital are better options. But if you are buying an Xbox for casual gaming in the family room or as a secondary console, the Series S offers great value at $250 for the 512GB model.

If you want to play physical games and/or watch 4K Blu-rays, the regular Xbox Series X with a disc drive is available for $50 off, too. This Black Friday deal is expected to end on November 23.

While it's not on sale, it's worth noting the recently released 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition is still in stock at Best Buy for $600. Best Buy is the only major retailer with the space-themed Xbox, which has double the storage space.

You can increase the storage capacity on your Xbox Series X|S with one of the official Western Digital or Seagate Expansion Cards. These plug-and-play upgrades are the only optional storage devices that can store and boot Xbox Series X|S games.

The WD Black 1TB Xbox Expansion Card is on sale for its lowest price yet for Black Friday. Over at Amazon and Best Buy, you can save $50 on the 1TB model. The 512GB Expansion Card is available for $68.
