Xbox Series X/S Stock: Where To Buy Microsoft's New Console

Xbox Series X/S Consoles

An Xbox Series X costs £449/$499 - that includes the Xbox Series X console and the new Xbox Wireless controller. Aside from all the cables and perhaps a free trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, no other extras will be included. Here's the Digital Foundry review should you want to see how the console performs.

If you want to go for an Xbox Series S instead, that'll set you back £249/$299. Remember, though, that's the less powerful version of the next-gen console. It'll still comfortably run all upcoming Xbox games but it won't run games natively at 4K, doesn't feature a disc drive and has a smaller 512GB NVMe SSD. However, you'll get support for 1440p at 120FPS and 4K upscaling, as well as the same raytracing and variable refresh rate features as with the Series X.

If you're willing to sacrifice those additional features, you do save a considerable chunk of change on the console. Definitely worth it if you aren't playing on a 4K TV or aren't too fussed about all the extra performance benefits.

For more help on making that decision, do take a look at our guide to the differences between the Xbox Series X and S.

Both consoles are also available to buy at a monthly fee through the Xbox All Access finance program. This package includes the Xbox console of your choice and 24 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The retailers offering this payment plan are listed below if you'd prefer to buy that way, though it proved to be a nightmare to sign up for during the pre-order period. Still, it's not a bad idea if you're comfortable committing to the monthly payments for two years as you can make a small saving on your purchase according to our calculations.

Through Xbox All Access, you can pay £29/$35 a month for an Xbox Series X or £21/$25 per month for the Xbox Series S. This also includes two years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, giving you a whole library of Xbox games to play straight away and access to online multiplayer. Not a bad deal!

Obviously, buying through the Xbox All Access finance scheme requires approval from one of Microsoft's partners and comes with its own risks if you're unable to keep up with the repayments, so do assess your financial situation before committing. We've crunched the numbers and seen that it does offer a small saving in most circumstances so, if it does suit, then this could help spread the cost of a new console significantly.
