Best PS5, Nintendo Switch, And Xbox Console Deals Ahead Of Christmas

Arguably the best deal of the bunch, Best Buy and Amazon are letting you snag an Xbox Series X for just $349. That’s the lowest-ever price for the console–making this the perfect time to upgrade. Best of all, Best Buy is advertising that shipments will arrive before Christmas (though this may vary based on your location). A few bundles are also discounted, so give them a look if you want additional goodies with your new console.

Love everything about the Xbox Series X but want to save some cash? Then the Xbox Series S is for you. It lacks an optical drive and tops out at 1440p, but it’ll play the same games and is a great companion for Game Pass Ultimate (three months of which is included with your purchase). This is the lowest price we’ve seen this year, though shipments will likely arrive after Christmas.

Sony recently revamped the PS5 console, giving it a streamlined design that’s about 30% smaller than the original. This bundle includes that revised console, along with a copy of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. As usual, you’ll also get a DualSense controller and a preinstalled copy of Astro’s Playroom. Amazon says shipments will arrive in time for Christmas, though be sure to double-check the date before checkout.

This is essentially the same as the Spider-Man 2 bundle, but instead swaps out the Web-Slinger for the latest entry in the long-running Call of Duty series. It also includes a digital voucher for the Lockpick Operator Pack. Once again, Amazon says shipments should arrive before Christmas.

Several Switch bundles are available this holiday season, but the most premium one offered is the Switch OLED Super Smash Bros. Bundle. Along with a Switch OLED console, this package includes a digital copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. Amazon orders are expected to arrive before Christmas.

Nintendo is bundling the standard Switch console with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month Switch Online membership. This is 2023’s holiday bundle, and it’s been a popular item since it arrived around Black Friday. Amazon orders are expected to arrive after Christmas.

Two versions of this bundle are up for grabs, both of which come with a free copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. At Target, you’ll find the Isabelle’s Aloha Edition, which features a pink design, while the Timmy and Tommy edition available at Walmart features a blue design. Keep in mind that the Switch Lite can’t be docked to a TV and is built for handheld mode.

This high-powered handheld Windows PC is currently seeing a big price cut at Best Buy, with the Ryzen Z1 version down to just $400 from its usual $600. It’s a great alternative to Steam Deck, thanks to its HD touchscreen display, fast Ryzen Z1 processor, and native support for Steam, Game Pass, GOG, Epic Games Store, and every other app that supports Windows. A more powerful version with a Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor is also available with a $100 discount.
