Image: Microsoft \/ Kotaku<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\nThe Xbox Series S<\/span> is one of my favorite purchases. It’s the little machine that could, a less powerful version of a next-gen console, that somehow is able to run everything anyway. Today you can get one for under $200, the cheapest it’s ever been\u2014even cheaper than last week’s cheapest ever<\/span>. You know, if you don’t mind being part of the evils of corporate America.<\/p>\nI know this reads like one of those posts where Kotaku<\/em> gets a giant wad of cash for every purchase, but honestly, I’m writing this up because it’s so damned cheap. <\/em>The catch is you need to buy it through Amazon, and Amazon is awful.<\/p>\nace spotted by IGN<\/em><\/span> for this Cyber \u200b\u200bMonday, Amazon has the Xbox Series S at $237.99<\/span>. However, when you buy the \u201cHoliday Console,\u201d you also get $40 of Amazon credit if you put in the code \u201cXBOX\u201d at checkout.<\/p>\nDid I lie? Is it really under $200 if you need to pay $238 to get the credit? I’m going with: yes. Because, the truth is, we all buy from Amazon all the damn time, even though we know we shouldn’t. Even though we know how it treats its workers<\/span>. Even though it is about to cut 10,000 jobs<\/span> likely because the home surveillance machine Alexa is a colossal $10bn flop<\/span>. <\/p>\nSo, you know, having $40 on your Amazon account is the same as having $40 in your bank account that you’d have spent on Amazon anyway. In fact, the next $40-worth of stuff you buy from Amazon will feel like it’s free! It doesn’t matter that you put the money there yourself, it’ll still feel like a free thing when you order, and the checkout says it’s covered. We’re so stupid.<\/p>\n
However, you do end up getting a really awesome console, while giving Microsoft, that already sells it at a loss, far less money. Sure, you’ll end up spending a fortune more on expanded storage for it, because the S comes with a ludicrous 364GB free on its puny SSD. And yeah, you’re going to pay a monthly tithe to Game Pass for there to be any point in owning it. And then you’ll need that second controller…<\/p>\n
Capitalism is evil! But we still want games consoles, and this is the cheapest way you’re going to get a brand new one. Now, who wants to give me a job in advertorial?<\/p>\n
