Currently, you can get the Xbox Series S for $279.99 at Woot (opens in new tab). That’s $20 off and a very rare discount on Microsoft’s next-gen console. (If you’re looking for Xbox Series X consoles, make sure to follow our Xbox Series X restock guide). In our Xbox Series S review, we noted that while less powerful than the Xbox Series X — the Xbox Series S still manages to impress. Sure, games look better on the more powerful Xbox Series X, but the Xbox Series S still renders characters, backgrounds, and items gorgeously. In Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the Xbox Series X displayed sharper, more colorful advertisements on the streets of Yokohama, but character models were still rich and detailed on the Series S. Plus, the frame rate didn’t suffer from any appreciable slowdown on either platform. In general, the Xbox Series S upscales content to 4K beautifully — and if you have a 1440p display, you won’t need the upscaling at all. If you still have your heart on the Xbox Series X, it’s worth knowing that it is possible to beat the bots if you follow some of our restock cheat sheet.
