Amazon has cut the price of its refurbished Xbox Series X consoles by $50 this Prime Day. That means you can grab the new generation consolefor just $399.99(a full $100 off the $499.99 MSRP of a new device). That’s a solid saving by itself, but if you’re upgrading I’d draw your attention to a little ‘Trade-In and Save’ button on the right of the product page.

Anyone upgrading to an Xbox Series X this holiday season should be checking out this offer. Amazon will provide you with a $75 gift card for an Xbox One X or Xbox One S, provided all is well with the device itself and you have the original accessories. That brings the final price down to just $325 - a stunning rate forMicrosoft’s latest console.Prime Day gaming dealsdon’t get much better than that.

Looking elsewhere? I’ve done the math. GameStop will shell out $77 for a similar console in prime condition, but doesn’t have any refurbished devices on the shelves. That means you’re stuck with a new devicefor $469.99, bringing your total down to $392.99. That’s a solid option for anyone after a new device rather than a refurbished model, but not the best price on the web right now.

Amazon is the winner here, as it should be during its own Prime Day deals event. Unfortunately you won’t be able to use your $75 credit to immediately take that price down. Instead, you’ll be paying the $399.99 today and receiving a credit rebate for the trade-in cost after Amazon has processed the item.
