Xbox Series S is in stock at Best Buy

Last November Microsoft released two next-gen consoles: the more affordable Xbox Series X and the more affordable Xbox Series S, if you’re looking for the more affordable next-gen Xbox, Best Buy has the console in stock right now.

The Xbox Series S variant costs $ 299, is smaller and less powerful than the $ 500 X Series. Another important thing to note is that the Xbox Series S is a digital-only console, which means it doesn’t have a disc drive for playing physical games.

If you are planning to purchase this console, you might want to consider choosing a few accessories that will help you get the most out of your new gadget, including an additional controller if you are playing a game with a local co-op with a friend or Member of the family.

When it comes to storage, both consoles have rather limited storage. If you plan to download older games that don’t take full advantage of the next-gen hardware and don’t want to use up your limited SSD storage, you can get an external hard drive. You can buy a 4TB external hard drive from Seagate for $ 100, and it includes two months of Xbox Game Pass, a Netflix-like digital video game subscription service for Xbox consoles. Or you can buy three months of Xbox Game Pass if you don’t have any games you want to buy yet.

Of course, you can also upgrade your SSD, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Seagate is the only one to have an SSD expansion card compatible with both consoles. Additionally, the SSD expansion card is only available in 1TB, and it’s quite expensive, costing $ 220.
