The Xbox One is the latest and most powerful games console from Microsoft. This console is however very expensive. This guide will show you how you can save money and still enjoy an Xbox One. By saving money you will have more money available to spend on games.

Buying Bundles

Some stores have special offers which allow you to buy a bundle at a lower price than the separate selling price. These bundles typically include a game, accessories and the console itself. Some of the best bundles include the hottest games, such as Halo and Fifa 16. If you want the cheapest way just to own an Xbox One then you could buy the basic console on its own. However, bear in mind that you will need to buy the Kinect in the future to use most of the advanced features.

Special Offers

The Xbox One is still quite a new console, but there are still some good special offers around if you know where to look. Spend time searching online and in stores to make sure you are getting the very best deal available. Deals are quite rare because of the popularity of the console, this also means that any special offers are likely to sell out very quickly. If you see a great priced offer on a console then buy it as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.

Some of the best deals are often available direct from Microsoft on the MicrosoftStore website. There are also some pretty good deals around online.

Buying on Credit

Another option for anyone trying to save money when buying an Xbox One is to buy on credit. There are interest free credit options available from many stores. These will allow you to spread the cost of purchasing an Xbox One out over several monthly payments which should make it more affordable.

Buying Second Hand

Another option is to buy the Xbox One second hand. Used Xbox ones are readily available, despite the console being so new. You can buy used games consoles from a number of places, including some high street stores such as CEX, Game & Secondwow.

It’s also possible to find lots of used consoles on the internet. Internet auction sites like eBay have lots of different Xbox Ones and games available. The advantages of buying second hand from high street stores is that many of them offer warranties, whereas it will be more risky on eBay.


Hopefully this guide has shown you some handy ways that you can save money when buying an Xbox One. Always shop around and if you see a truly amazing deal then snap it up quickly.
