Woot has been churning out some significant deals on refurbished products this week, with Ring cameras starting at $20, 55-inch Fire TVs for $199.99, and Kindle e-readers starting at $34.99. Now, they’re offering the Grade-A refurbished Xbox Series X for $299.99 (originally $449) while supplies last or until April 26. (For reference, Amazon’s refurbished Xbox Series X goes for $414.99.)
Woot says their “Grade-A refurbished” items were returned, inspected, and restored to fully working conditions, but not by the manufacturer. It’s as close to new as they offer, but they might still show slight signs of being used. Woot only ships to the 48 contiguous U.S. states. If you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping; otherwise, it’ll be $6.
If you’ve been undecided about which of the two Xbox consoles is best for you, you can see our breakdown. But at $299.99, the Xbox Series X is the same price as the Xbox Series S, which is the digital, less powerful version. The Xbox Series X has 1TB of memory and the ability to play games with discs as well as Blue Rays and DVDs. This makes getting the Series X over the Series S a much easier decision if you’re looking for extra power and storage.
Regardless of where you stand on the PS5 versus Xbox debate, one thing the Xbox has the PS5 beaten has been affordability. A comparable refurbished PS5 from Amazon goes for $436.99.
If you’re unsure about ordering from Woot, I’ve ordered from Woot several times over the years and have not had any more problems than what I experienced from Amazon. They’re owned by the same person, after all. Keep in mind you’ll also be covered by Woot’s 90-day limited warranty.
