Using a combination of a Microsoft Store discount code and the current discounted prices on CDKeys for Microsoft gift cards, you can net yourself substantial savings on both of Microsoft’s current gen consoles. Arguably the better deal here is on the Xbox Series X for just under £300, netting you a £120 saving on the refurb price, while the Xbox Series S is available for £149, saving you nearly £70 on the £210 list price.
