Xbox Series S

Black Friday is well underway, with great deals to be found on everything from vacuum cleaners and air fryers to pushchairs and hair styling tools like the Remington hair straighteners.

If you are looking for a show-stopping Christmas present for your tween, teen or beyond, get yourself over to Amazon quick, as one of Mumsnet’s favourite games consoles has a whopping £50 off in the Black Friday sale.

The price of the Xbox Series S has been slashed from £250 to just £200 which is an absolute bargain, if you ask us. No wonder this particular console has been flying off the shelves.

The Xbox Series S makes an ideal introduction to gaming and the free Xbox Family Settings app on Android and iOS makes it easy to manage your child’s screen time, block purchases and filter out age-inappropriate content.

The Xbox Series S is entirely digital, so there are no discs required which means there’s less clutter and it can help cut the costs of buying individual discs, so you’ll soon be quids in.

What Mumsnet users say

LeafyPattern · Tried & Tested
“On a series s, you can download any game from the Microsoft store on the Xbox. Huge catalogue and you have access to the backwards compatible games too from older consoles. There is also the game pass that has quite a few racing games on and a lot of in general. Would highly recommend! as it saves on the high prices of some of the games. […] I have the s and it’s great!”
