WD_Black 1TB C50 Storage Expansion Card
It's no secret that modern AAA video games take up a whole lot of storage space. They take up so much that you've probably already reached the limit of your Xbox Series X|S's onboard storage. Expanding that storage is easy, but it's usually absurdly expensive, thanks to Microsoft's proprietary format. This low, low price on the WD Black C50 is the best you're likely to get any time soon, so stock up.

3 Months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $29.19
Our favorite Game Pass deal is back and better than ever before. For October Prime Day, Woot! (which is owned by Amazon) is offering three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for only $29.19 after you apply the 20% off coupon code "SAVE20". That's only $9.73 per month.
Earlier this year, Microsoft raised the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to $19.99 per month, so you're basically saving over 50% off with this Prime Day deal. Note: The coupon field is at the final step of checkout right under the "Place Order" button. Do not place the order until after you have entered the coupon and see the $29.19 price.

Amazon's offering its 'No Console Required' Xbox Bundle as part of its October Prime Day sale event. For just $79.99 as a Prime Exclusive Deal, you can get a 4K Max Amazon Fire TV Stick, an Xbox Wireless Controller (Astral Purple), and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Or, you can also score this bundle with just the 4K Fire TV Stick, an Xbox Wireless Controller, and 1 Month Game Pass Ultimate for $74.99.
Normally, buying each of the items in the 4K Max bundle separately would cost you around $142, so you're saving about $62 with the bundle. Those are phenomenal deals to have Xbox's Game Pass library right at your fingertips. Compared to the cost of buying an Xbox console on its own right now, it's starting to looking just that bit more appealing.

Is It Better to Buy an Xbox on Prime Day or Black Friday?
Unlike the Nintendo Switch, there is no specific recommendation to wait for a sale regardless of the time of year when it comes to Xbox. Instead, it's a good idea to monitor various retailers and online platforms for restock announcements and promotional offers.
However, certain events like Black Friday or Prime Day may bring about unique bundles, discounts, or promotional deals specifically for the Xbox Series X. These bundles may include additional games, accessories, or exclusive limited editions.
While quantities for such promotions might be limited, they can provide an opportunity to get more value for your purchase. There aren't any notable Xbox Series X or S console deals for October Prime Day, but see our guide to Xbox Series X prices for more info or speculation on the Black Friday sale.
