Black Friday Xbox One S and Xbox One X deals: what to expect this year
There's no time like Black Friday and Cyber Monday to snag a deal on a gaming, and if last year was any indication, the Xbox One S and Xbox One X are going to get hot deals this time around. And, it's not just going to be the consoles. You can expect to score great Black Friday and Cyber Monday Xbox One game deals as well.
If you've been holding off on the latest generation of consoles, the Xbox One S and Xbox one X are both great options. Of the two, the Xbox One X is more powerful, offering improved graphics and frame rates, albeit at a higher price. However, both will let you play video games in 4K (though not necessarily natively), connect to the internet for online games, and stream and playback media in 4K HDR.
If you don't already have a TV ready for those quality visuals, you may want to also keep an eye out on the best Black Friday 4K TV deals.

These will include the console itself, and will pair it with a popular game or some other extra. If you're hoping to score one of these deals, you should get yourself familiar with the lineup of already available Xbox One X bundle deals and prices.

How to get the best Xbox One deals on Black Friday
Other than checking TechRadar.com for the latest deals you mean? For starters, you'll need to do some research – and show some restraint.
The best deals are bound to happen on Black Friday weekend and last into Cyber Monday. It's likely that we'll be lucky ahead of time and will be able to score some good deals (like we were last year), but chances are good Microsoft is saving the best deals for the biggest sales day in the entire year.
To prepare yourself for the slew of deals that are destined to drop on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, your best bet is to check fliers for doorbuster deals that often are only sold in a limited number and keep your eyes peeled for Amazon Gold Box deals that change every few hours.

Lastly, set a budget. Yes, it's understandable you want THE BEST deal possible. But that's something that changes on the hour and can be sold out in just minutes. Instead, we recommend setting a price that makes sense to you and sticking to it. Wait until you see a bundle that reaches that threshold and snatch it up the second the price reaches your set target. That way you won't miss out on a great deal while you wait for something better, and you can always return it should you find a better deal somewhere else. Oh, and don't forget to add in the cost of an extra controller and games into your calculations.
