This is it — your wait for an Xbox Series S deal is over. Gamers and console-lovers rejoice! The Xbox rarely goes on sale, but Dell is offering an excellent deal right now that you won’t want to miss.

Dell discounted their Microsoft Xbox Series S bundle, which includes a chat headset and a charge kit. Normally $350, you’re getting the Xbox Series S bundle for $335 or $15 off! Yes, we know that’s not a crazy deal, but it’s still worth sharing! We don’t know how long it’s going to last, though, so hurry up if you’re interested and want that new console. Video game deals aren’t as common as you’d think, and you know how difficult it is to get a next-gen console right now.

The Series S features a 512GB solid-state drive, an 8-core Zen 2 processor, and 4 Teraflops GPU using a custom RDNA 2 GPU chipset. It’s packed with power and ready to rock! Enjoy 120 frames per second at 1440p resolution. Load times are practically nonexistent compared to last-generation consoles, and Microsoft added tons of new tricks. For example, switching between multiple games is as easy as switching browser tabs, and you can pick up right where you left off on both.

This particular bundle from Dell includes the Xbox Series S console with a controller, a chat headset, and a charging kit. The headset has a bendable boom, an LED power light, and dual mics. It’s totally wireless and will get up to 15 hours of life off a single charge. If it runs out, half an hour of charging will bring it back up to four full hours of life again. The volume controls are built into the side of the earcups, so no dongle or remote is required. You can even fine-tune the audio with an equalizer (think cutting the treble on any high-pitched shriekers). It’s Bluetooth-enabled, so you can connect it to your phone and listen to music when you’re not gaming.

The most popular drone brand, DJI, is selling their DJI Air S2 model for $150 cheaper on Amazon today. It's down to $849 from its original $999. Drone deals like this tend to sell out quickly, so make sure to grab it soon. If you're not sure whether this drone fits all your remotely piloted aerial device needs, read more about it below.

Why you should buy the DJI Air 2S
The DJI Air 2S, a refresh of the DJI Mavic Air 2, features the same compact and foldable design, but with a 20-megapixel, 1-inch sensor that's double in size from its predecessor. The larger sensor means it can draw in more light, for clearer photos and videos particularly in low-light environments. The drone is also capable of recording 5.4K videos at up to 30 frames per second, or 4K videos at up to 60 frames per second, so you can capture memorable moments at the best possible quality. You'll also have access to various QuickShot modes that record your chosen subject in different ways, and the new MasterShot mode that combines some of the most popular QuickShot modes to automatically produce professional-looking footage.

Games continue to get more expensive as time goes on, but it makes sense why. They're more and more expensive to make. But instead of shelling out $60 for $70 for a brand new title like Jedi: Survivor, you can take advantage of an amazing discount. While there are some fantastic game deals going on, at any given time, this one deserves a special callout. Antonline is offering the Xbox Series S 512GB model, with a free copy of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor in a digital download, for $290. Normally $370 altogether, you're saving $80 on this deal and essentially getting Jedi: Survivor for free. Hurry, it won't be available long.

Why You Should Buy the Xbox Series S and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Bundle
The Xbox Series S is the digital-only version of the console, making it the smallest, and sleekest model ever. You no longer have to load physical discs into the system, as everything is kept on the 512GB solid-state drive with blazing-fast load times and excellent performance. In fact, the Series S offers a framerate of up to 120 frames per second, well beyond the standard 60. You might not know this, but the Xbox is now carbon aware thanks to a new update. It reduces its power consumption to cut down on environmental impact, which is a welcome addition. That also saves you a bunch of money on your power bill.
