This year’sMemorial Day salesare so jampacked with cheap TVs, appliances and furniture that we’re left longing for deals on some gaming tech. And while the PlayStationDays of Play saleis a good option if you own aSonyconsole, things are looking bleak forMicrosoftfans. Until now, that is, with this promotion on anXbox Series S with a free $50 Xbox gift card at Newegg.

The Xbox Series S is positioned as Microsoft’s budget-friendly console and will set you back $299.99. It’s great value at that price, too, especially for those who want to get involved with some current-gen gaming but don’t need the absolute top-of-the-line hardware. Then, with the $50 Xbox gift card included in this promotion, you can pick up a couple of games for the console and play straight away.

Or, a wise move may be to use those free funds and pair the console up withXbox Game Pass. Do that and you’ll have access to over 100 top Xbox games - including first-party Microsoft releases such asHalo InfiniteandForza Horizon 5- all for one affordable subscription fee of $9.99 per month. That’s a fantastic five months of free gaming.
