Xbox fans race to buy ‘smoking hot’ Series X deal that’s even cheaper with a discount code

XBOX fans can swipe a Series X console for nearly £160 cheaper than its original price.

The Series X Console sold by ShopTo is currently just £341.86 when using an Ebay discount code – a far stretch away from the £499 it originally hit the shelves as.

The discount code, OFFER5, gives gamers five per cent off ShopTo’s already discounted price of £359.98.

The Series X boats backwards compatibility, meaning it can play thousands of games from four generations of Xbox, including Xbox One, Xbox 360, and the Original Xbox. 

According to cheap-offers site HotUKDeals, gamers couldn’t help but ‘bite’ at the chance to pick up the reduced console.

“I have this and a PS5 and I would go for the Xbox every time,” one reviewer wrote.

“The only thing I like about PS5 are the exclusives.”

Another reviewer called it a “smoking deal for the most powerful games console in the world.”

What’s the difference between the PS5 and Series X?

You can read The Sun’s full comparison of the PS5 and Zbox Series X here.

But in short, and aside from the obvious stylistic differences, Xbox seemingly has the edge when it comes to graphics.

The Series X promises 12-teraflops of graphical output, versus the 10.3-teraflops on the PS5.

Teraflops – or rather, trillions of operations per second – are a way of measuring how faster a graphics card can work.

Both consoles have GDDR6 flash memory, and 16GB to play with.

The Xbox is marginally more powerful.

But the PS5 arguably has a more competitive roster of games.
