BLACK FRIDAY XBOX. Black Friday week is on! We take stock of the offers concerning the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and the games on sale throughout the day.
[Mis à jour le 18 novembre 2022 à 9h41] the Black-Friday is the perfect time to make high-tech purchases but also video games. Like every year, consoles and games will be in high demand throughout the Black Friday period. With Black Week getting underway, in this article we bring you a recap of the best deals for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles as well as games of interest for both consoles. As a reminder, the Xbox Series X is the more powerful of these two machines (it is also the most expensive). The Xbox Series S, sold cheaper, is also deprived of a disc drive: it is therefore useless to buy boxed games if you opt for this model. As for the offers expected for this Black Friday: many price reductions are planned for the Xbox Series S. For the Xbox Series X, we especially expect renewed stock as well as packs sold with accessories and games.
An Xbox Series X + controller at a discount for Black Friday
Black Friday promotions officially start this Friday but we can already find attractive prices everywhere on the internet. This is the case of the Xbox Series X that we were able to find in stock at certain retailers. Cdiscount already offers a pack Xbox Series X + an additional controller for a total of €549.99. This is a €10 discount for the purchase of your second controller. Perfect for playing with several people! Note that you can buy this same pack with a white controller. For your information, an Xbox Series X console alone is sold for € 499.99 as you can see below.
As a reminder, the Xbox Series S does not have a disc drive. It is therefore impossible to buy boxed games to play on Xbox Series S. On the contrary, you have to buy your games on the Xbox online store and download them directly from the internet. You can also bank on the Xbox Game Pass subscription which, for a fairly modest monthly subscription, offers access to a regularly renewed catalog of around a hundred games including exclusives developed by Xbox studios from the day of their release.
Got your Xbox console and looking for some games this Black Friday? The usual resellers will as usual compete in promotions to slash their prices on Xbox games. We will recommend you now Assassin’s Creed Valhalla for €19.99, a very good price for the latest addition to Ubisoft’s action saga. The D1 version of Cyberpunk 2077 is available for €22.73 on this Black Friday. Always in the low prices, we can also buy Far Cry 6 for $24.99. Enough to enjoy many video game blockbusters at reduced prices!
Many fundraising operations around the Xbox Series S in major retailers for Black Friday: Several major retailers have already announced their future offers for the Xbox Series S for Black Friday and Black Week. At Carrefour, the console will cost you €219.99 via €10 potted on your loyalty card from November 25 to 28. At Auchan, it will be offered to you at €209.99 on November 27 via €20 potted on your loyalty card. At Cora, from November 22 to 28, the Xbox Series S will be sold for €229.99. Leclerc will also offer a pack with the Xbox Series S + a Konix PS-400 FFF headset at €236.63 from November 21 to 28.
Best Products
The Xbox Series X is the pinnacle of Microsoft’s efforts. It delivers on the promise of flawless performance and a huge library spanning multiple generations of Xbox games. Since this one was out of stock before, the prices are not always the cheapest. It is still far from being easy to buy but it is worth it. The Xbox Series X has been out for almost two years but if you’re expecting a price drop, there may be some doubt as the console has been around for quite a while at €499.99. Offers are however expected on the side of packs, games and console accessories.
If you want to take the plunge but with a tighter budget, turn instead to the Xbox Series S, a model without a disc drive and offering an experience in 1440p resolution and not in 4K. In this, therefore, you will not be able to buy boxed games but will instead have to shop online. Be aware, however, that the hard drive of the Xbox Series S only offers a space of 500 GB against 1 terabyte for the Xbox Series X. During Black Friday 2022, the major retailers are planning significant price reductions for this console, in particular via fundraising operations on the side of supermarkets.
Finally, owners of Xbox consoles (and even PCs) may be interested in a particularly interesting subscription offer from Microsoft: the Xbox Game Pass. This offer by monthly subscription gives access to a catalog of a hundred video games, recent or less recent, all for a modest sum. Included, a hundred video games whose listing is regularly renewed as well as the EA Play catalog of Electronic Arts games including Battlefield 1, Star Wars Battlefront 2, FIFA, Need For Speed, Burnout and many others.
The Xbox Game Pass subscription also allows you to take advantage of all the new Xbox Game Studios studios from the day of their release, at no additional cost. Subscription cards are available for purchase for Xbox Game Pass and are often offered at discounted prices on Black Friday. The 2022 edition should therefore be no exception to the rule. This is an ideal gift for video game lovers who play on PC and Xbox consoles.
