Buying an Xbox doesn't have to be so Xpensive.
The best Xbox deals available in Australia
If you've waited this long to upgrade to the Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X, you may have been waiting for a decent discount on Microsoft's console. Well, look no further. On this page, you'll find all the latest deals on Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and Xbox games.
How much do the Xbox Series S and X usually cost in Australia?
In its current generation of consoles, Microsoft has simplified its offerings somewhat. There are only two models available both with distinct strengths and weaknesses.
The cheaper Xbox Series S is a digital-only device with no disc drive and 512GB of storage. That means you can't purchase physical games for it from stores like EB Games and JB HI-FI. Instead, games must be purchased digitally or downloaded with the Xbox Game Pass subscription. On the other hand, the Xbox Series X is a larger, more expensive console with a disc drive for those who still like to purchase physical media.
Here's how much each model costs at the recommended retail price (RRP):
- Xbox Series S 512GB: $499
- Xbox Series X 1TB: $749

As Netflix does for movies and TV shows, Xbox will add and remove certain games on a daily basis, but you can guarantee you'll be able to find all first-party Xbox titles in the Game Pass library.
