Xbox Reveals Its Black Friday Deals

And no, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are not part of Microsoft’s holiday deals, which isn’t all that surprising since they were just released and are in very short supply. But if you’re interested in deals on games, peripherals, and Game Pass subscriptions, you may still find something you want at a nice discount.

“We have seen overwhelming global demand from our fans for the next generation of Xbox consoles, and we encourage you to check in with your local retailers directly for more details on availability in your market,” Microsoft’s Larry Hryb says of the Xbox Series X|S. “While Xbox Series X|S consoles are not part of our holiday deals, we’re thrilled to offer an incredible discount on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate – the must-have gift for the gamer in your life – and deals on games as well as Xbox controllers.”

    <p>Do we know if the 3mths ultimate codes are stackable? Normally if I buy more time it just adds onto the end so wondering if I buy 4 game pass codes I'll get a year at 40% off.</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#594466">In reply to danmac:</a></em></blockquote><p>Yes, at least 3 years worth. Someone else said 5, but I'd like to see that in writing.</p>

    <p>The collateral fervor for consoles has now spilled over onto the older ones as well. You simply can't find a console of any kind anywhere right now. </p>

    <p>All I want for Christmas is the ability to place an order for an Xbox Series X/S and get an estimate of delivery, whenever that may be.</p>

      That is not clear. All it says as a disclaimer is “Limit 1 per person/account.”
