Microsoft has unleashed its Black Friday Xbox Series S deals a week ahead of schedule, and with a record low price on the brand's cheapest console - things are going to move fast. Thankfully, we're seeing plenty of retailers getting involved with this new $249.99 cost (was $299.99), which means you've got a wide range of options option to you right now. 

We're seeing this offer live across Walmart, Amazon, Microsoft, and Best Buy today, and stock so far is holding out well. Previous Xbox Series S deals have dipped down to this position in the past, but not for a good few months now. The last time we saw such a price was back in the spring, but we've never seen it so widely available. Of course, this $50 saving comes as part of this year's Black Friday Xbox deals, which means it won't be around for long. 

We wouldn't wait too long to take advantage. Last time we saw such an offer that stock moved off the shelves pretty quickly. We're lucky that so many stores have got involved with the price cut this time around, but we still wouldn't bank on this one making it through to the big day itself. Seeing as this discount started with Microsoft itself, we wouldn't expect to see additional cuts over the course of the next week - this is likely as good as it gets when it comes to cold-hard savings. If, however, you're looking to maximise your value we'd recommend heading to Dell instead. There, you'll find a free $75 gift card included with the full $299.99 price of the console.

You'll find more information on this offer just below, and plenty more Xbox Series S deals further down the page.

Save $50 - The Xbox Series S is back down to its $249.99 record low price as part of Walmart's early Black Friday deals this week. We haven't seen this $50 discount in some time now, with it last popping up in the spring. We'd move fast on this one, then, though if Walmart is out of stock by the time you get there, Amazon, Best Buy, and Microsoft are also offering this discount.

If you're after even greater value, and plan on securing more Black Friday deals at Dell this season, you'll find a $75 gift card up for grabs here. That effectively brings the price of the Xbox Series S console down to $224.
