If you’ve had an Xbox on your wishlist for the longest time, now’s your chance to finally take the plunge. Why? Because the Walmart Deals Holiday Kickoff event has consoles for up to $71 off. These savings might not sound like a lot, but when it comes to pricey gaming consoles, any discount big or small helps. So whether you’ve finally had enough of your old machine or your brother has hinted at wanting to receive one for Christmas, you’re going to want to take advantage of this Xbox sale ASAP.

The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S both have slashed prices during Walmart’s version of Prime Day, which runs from Monday, October 9 through Thursday, October 12.

What’s the difference between the two models? The Xbox Series X uses higher-end hardware and has higher display resolutions (up to 8K). Not to mention, it features higher frame rates and real-time ray tracing for a better gaming experience. You won’t have to deal with slow loading times either, as the Xbox Series X relies on a high-speed solid-state drive to solve this problem. 

On the other hand, you have the Xbox Series S, which has a weaker graphics processing unit, offers less memory and internal storage, and does not come with the optical drive that makes the Xbox Series X so coveted. All of these factors contribute to this model’s lower price tag, so if you’re shopping on a budget, the Xbox Series S is for you. 

What both consoles share in common is that they can support nearly all Xbox One games, controllers, and accessories. The two additionally work with gaming subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Gaming.

If you can’t wait to get your hands all over a new Xbox console, load up your cart during Walmart Deals Holiday Kickoff from Monday, October 9 through Thursday, October 12.
