Xbox Series S sales are slim right now, but I still found the greatest Prime Day deals on its best accessories (while time lasts)

It's not the most exciting sale in the world, but when the Xbox Series S is already such a great value any additional amount saved on the price is welcome. This is the best entry into next-gen console gaming, and is the perfect casual, beginner, or secondary console.

Xbox Series S Toaster | $37.46 at Walmart

Okay, I know this isn't actually an Xbox Series S (I'm still looking out for those deals), but it's pretty close, right? This official Xbox Series S toaster can toast you up bagels, toast, waffles, and more and leave a brand-accurate Xbox logo on your snack. There's also an LED countdown timer so you don't have to guess.

This also isn't the Xbox Series S, but it's still a great deal on its bigger sibling with a lot more power and a disc drive built in. The Xbox Series X is the best way to play the latest and greatest games, and you can save even more cash if you trade-in an eligible device to Best Buy.

🤔Why Best Buy? If you trade in a "similar device," like an older console, you can get up to $120 off, AND Best Buy throws in a $25 store gift card. That brings the console value to $329.99 post-trade-in, and the gift card can reduce the price of a second controller or a new game!
