Save $50 on the Xbox Series S for today only through Woot

It gets a little cheaper when we mention the Series S. The price of the entry-level Xbox has gone from $10 to $30 to $50, and now it's only $50. Until inventory runs out, the Xbox Series S is only $249.99. This one is not limited to Amazon Prime subscribers. This is half the price of the larger console, the still-elusive Xbox Series X, but it wouldn't do the little white one justice.

The cheaper Xbox Series S does not have a disc drive, but it plays the same games as the more expensive Xbox Series X at a more modest QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution and up to 120 frames per second. It may be a little small on storage, but it is also an endearingly tiny box that can fit into any entertainment center, or even at your desk beside a gaming monitor. Read the review.

The Xbox Series S is smaller than the 4K- capable Xbox Series X, but it can still play the same games at the same resolution. It also plays original games from the XBOX, XBOX, and XBOX One.

You can get the last-gen Apple TV 4K streaming box for just $99.99 for Amazon Prime subscribers. This 32GB model is available to all for $109.99, but Amazon Prime users get an additional $10 discount on top of that, bringing it to about $79 off its original list price. This sale is only for today or until it sells out.

The newer Apple TV 4K doesn't get the same price drop as the older model, even though it has some welcome changes. The first-gen model supports both 4K and AirPlay 2. If you choose the older model, you're missing out on some things, such as faster performance with a newer processor, and a better camera. Read the review.

If you're on a tight budget and want an excellent pair of earbuds, Best Buy has some pretty aggressive discounts on a few different certified preowned true wireless earbuds. I know that the ickiness factor of used earbuds may be too much for you. The Beats Fit Pro is available in black or white for an additional fee. The long- lasting, high-end, and low-priced, the SAMSUNG GALAXY BUBS, are both just $64.99.

If you follow our deals closely, you know we don't often mention used or refurbished earbuds, but these discounts seemed too good to not show you.
