In February, the best Xbox One X deal is a trade-in bonus at GameStop. Sell your old Xbox One, PS4 or Nintendo Switch there for $50 in extra store credit to apply toward your Xbox One X.
Why You Need the Best Xbox One X Deals
You need the best Xbox One X deals because 4K gaming doesn’t come cheap. The console costs $499.99 before taxes, and that’s with just a single Xbox One Controller.
Look at the complete cost of owning an Xbox One X and deals become even more important. Microsoft doesn’t include a free game inside its Xbox One X bundles yet. Instead, it relies on limited time promotions at Microsoft.com. Because of that, count on paying $59.99 for a game to play if you’ve never owned an Xbox One before. Also, playing with other people online requires an Xbox Live Gold subscription. That’s another $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year.
If you’re a hardcore gamer, you definitely want the Xbox One X. Xbox One S costs less than the Xbox One X does, but it doesn’t have enough power for 4K gaming and faster load times. The Xbox One S can only handle 4K video.

Where to Buy a Used Xbox One X
You can always find used Xbox One X deals on Craigslist, Swappa and eBay. All three sites let gamers sell their used Xbox One X for cash. Swappa, for example, has the Xbox One X for $465.
If you do buy your Xbox One X from one of these websites, be careful. Always read the full description of whatever you buy. Only meet Craigslist sellers in a public place.
How to Save on Xbox One X Games
Once you have your console, try saving money on your Xbox One X game purchases.
First, don’t assume that you have to buy new games to get the Xbox One X’s 4K graphics. Many Xbox One X Enhanced games are updates to existing titles that you can download for free if you already own them. Just check the My Games & Apps area for updates after you sign in on your new console.
Second, Best Buy and Amazon have subscription services that get you a standard copy of any Xbox One X game for $47.99. Amazon includes this discount in Amazon Prime, which you may already have. If you don’t, it costs $99.99 a year. Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked is $29.99 for two years.
