When is the best time to buy an Xbox? Look for Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals in 2024, or buy anytime on Back Market.
The Xbox Series X and S debuted in 2020. Since then, the Xbox Series X has been available for $499, and the Series S is available for $299 at Microsoft. Nothing has changed regarding pricing over the years, but that doesn't mean you cannot find some saving during Black Friday Xbox deals in 2024.
Despite debuting about four years ago, the Xbox consoles have maintained their prices, and Xbox Black Friday deals have been the only way to get a discount on these consoles. Last year, Microsoft and other retailers participated in the sales event. The Series X and S were available for $50 off at Microsoft. The bundled discount included popular games for the Series X, and the Series S also got games and a three-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Walmart also offered a variety of deals, including the Xbox Series X Diablo IV Bundle, discounted by $120, and a Series S Gilded Hunter bundle, available at $269 with in-game extras for some games. Best Buy offered a similar deal to Microsoft's, while Amazon only offered smaller bundled discounts compared to other retailers.
We don't expect much to change in 2024 regarding Xbox Black Friday deals from Microsoft and other retailers. Don’t expect more than a $50 discount on the Series X or S; expect bundled discounts for games and subscriptions. But that's not the only way to get find discounts on the consoles. As everyone rushes for the 'best' Black Friday Xbox deals from brick-and-mortar retailers, consider the hassle-free option of a refurbished Xbox console from Back Market. We have Xbox consoles starting from as low as $139, with discounts available throughout the year. Shopping at Back Market allows you to get the console you want and the flexibility to buy games you want, rather than forced pre-downloaded games that come with a Black Friday 'deal.'

Xbox Black Friday deals are kind of a mixed bag, and there are positives to buying an Xbox during the sales event. Although most deals usually have bundled discounts, they save you some money, especially if you want to purchase a game that's part of the bundle deal. However, you don't need to wait all year for the Holiday season to find a good Xbox deal.
Black Friday deals aren't the solution if you want to upgrade or replace your console. Simply put, Black Friday isn't the best time to buy an Xbox. The best time to buy should be decided by your needs, not a sales event.
If you want a great deal on your next Xbox console, consider shopping at Back Market. Back Market offers verified refurbished consoles for only a fraction of the price of new ones. Our Series S, Series X, or Xbox One discounts are available throughout the year, providing you with the reassurance that you don't have to wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday for the 'best' discounts.

If you wait until Black Friday and Cyber Monday to shop for a new Xbox console, you will find several deals from retailers. Over the years, the trend has been to offer package deals, where the consoles are bundled with games and subscriptions for a discounted price. Direct cash discounts are rare, and with all the hassle and information overload that comes with the November sales event, a bundled discount isn't really worth the hype.
Shopping at Back Market guarantees you great deals any day of the year, with verified refurbished Xbox consoles available from as low as $117. You no longer have to wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, as every day is a good day to shop at Back Market. Additionally, when you buy refurbished products from us, you save not only your wallet but also the planet.
The Xbox Black Friday deals are only worth it if you want to purchase the subscriptions and games offered in the package deal. These deals usually save you some money, but if you are not interested in the package's offerings, these Black Friday deals aren't worth it. Additionally, many retailers hike their prices as November approaches to make their Black Friday deals look more attractive, so extra caution is required when shopping during Black Friday.
At Back Market, our prices are as attractive as they look and are available throughout the year. Additionally, you can choose your preferred games and subscriptions after you buy an Xbox from us. And with each purchase, you get free shipping, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a 1-year warranty.
