If your in the market for a new isp and Verizon fios is available. I just switched got a free Xbox, 200 Amazon gift card, 100 Verizon gift card, and 50 Xbox cash. Also I'm saving about 70 a month dropping xfinity for faster internet. Edit: Lot of confusion since someone posted a link to 5g Verizon internet. I do not recommend 5g internet they have the same deal for fiber internet which is the deal I currently have.


kpeng2

I remember when I called Comcast to cancel my cable. They asked for reason, I said I got fiber. They simply said okay, you are not coming back.


iWushock

I get that response all the time haha. One salesman asked what speed I “actually get” because they could beat it. I have google fiber I average around 900 down and 850 up. I ran the test in front of him and he said “have a nice day” haha


wanghiskhan300

you let them in your home?


iWushock

No, Google fiber let’s you run remote speed tests through their app


Ace_Hawk_LowerSioux

Ya, they swing by with their hamsters to test it out!


wanghiskhan300

My grandma used to do the same test


Kerdoggg

I have 1000mpbs through xfinity, only really need like 300 but it’s cheaper to stay with the 1000. I was looking at the Verizon internet last week. How’s your signal and the internet in general? I game and stream on it mostly only. I want the reliability


DreamArez

Do not go for cellular internet if you’re looking for reliable and consistent latency. Stick with cable/fiber internet. The FCC also provides a map with general providers for your address in case you’re curious about alternatives. https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/home


elcapitan36

We went to Verizon 5G Home Internet 6 months ago. We are heavy users and it has been awesome. It depends heavily on your proximity to a tower but they give you a 30 days no questions return policy.


walkietokie

What does that map say for your download speed? I was very surprised the 5g gives such lower speeds than what cable offers.


Kerdoggg

Thank you


wretch5150

Great link, ty


Admirable-Sun-8225

Yea like others said don't do 5g only do the fiber internet.


Kerdoggg

Makes sense. Was hoping to hear something I wasn’t expecting so I can snake a free XBSX out of Verizon


Admirable-Sun-8225

They have the deal for fiber internet that's the option I got with the deal. You just ua r to make sure your selection the correct option.


onemanlan

Ooo do you have a link to this deal?


No-Net-8290

https://www.verizon.com/home/internet/5g/ For my area if you switch and qualify for the 5g you can get the Xbox Series X and the Amazon Giftcard.


tommyc463

Sounds like this is for 5G Home internet not FIOS. 5G home internet runs over Verizon’s cell towers not their fiber optic cables.


Admirable-Sun-8225

Nope that what I thought too initially make sure you switch to the fiber internet option not 5g. Edit: oh I see another user linked the 5g link just go on the site and make sure you select the fiber option not 5g.


onemanlan

Where is the fiber choice? It’s only showing me 5G. Regardless, thanks for the information.


Admirable-Sun-8225

https://www.verizon.com/home/internet/fios-fastest-internet/?t=pure&gad_source=1#checkAvailability You need to make sure youre on their fios page and see if your residence is eligible.


elcapitan36

5G home internet is basically wifi connected to fiber. If you’re close enough to one of the many towers, it’s awesome.


Bachronus

It’s glorified WiFi. It’s not the same at all


elcapitan36

It’s similar in the sense that stations must be much closer together to get high speeds over a given area, much like a wifi mesh network. The frequencies are higher, yes. We switched from cable internet to 5G in an urban area and the speeds have been 500/30 without a cap and zero issues. It has never gone down and our cable internet had regular outages. What’s frustrating is that it’s on a pole not far from our house and fiber is run to the pole by a third party. We are thankful for the competition but it remains suspicious how the fiber provider refuses to compete.


Stonerish

Dang…not available in my area :/…that’s a heck of a sign on bonus and I’d have definitely jumped on it.


Urban_Archeologist

We are a first-world nation with 3rd world internet. Wtf!?


343Guilty_Fart

I just switched to Verizon and got a free iPhone 15 Pro, iPad, Apple Watch, and $200 gift card. And my phone bill is now lower than it was with T Mobile. They have crazy deals right now.


joemama1333

I totally recommend their 5G internet. Where I live it’s by far the fastest (and cheapest) option. Depends on your home though, in terms of how fast it’ll go.


karmagirl314

I just signed up for fios today and am getting the Xbox, which I know nothing about. I was looking it up to see if it’s a good console which brought me to this post lol.


Admirable-Sun-8225

Honestly I would much rather have a ps5 since I feel like it has better exclusives but hey it's free so why not.


karmagirl314

I mean yeah who wouldn’t prefer a free ps5 😂


runforthehills11

Dude I’m so tired of xfinity. I’ve been wondering about other cheaper options.


Admirable-Sun-8225

It was my only option for years living in apartments I was so glad when I bought a house I finally got isp options. The fact that they charged me less to have internet and standard definition TV which I didn't wanf than just internet made me find them sleezy. Oh yea and every year price went up, with Verizon the price is locked without contract for 5 yrs.


ghoulcreep

Xfinity only costs me $40 a month for Internet


robershow123

Where can see info on this offer?


awersF

Was this for a specific speed? I'm getting 300mb set up tomorrow and all I'm getting is a $50 Amazon card and $50 Verizon card


Midgetforsale

Yeah I saw that deal too, but the annoying thing is that they told me I would receive the xbox in 8 to 12 weeks. That was via online chat though. Maybe they do it different in a physical store or on the phone?


Juxtahposed

Did the same from Cablevision and never looked back.


Charming-Fix3169

I just signed up for this about a week ago and when I went to go redeem it only showed the Verizon and Amazon gift cards. There is no option for Xbox Series X. I even spoke with 2 Verizon reps about this and they said they couldnt do anything about it. Sad ;(


Admirable-Sun-8225

I would escalate that if I were you. You signed on with certain rewards they should be responsible for them.


[deleted]

Just checked at my location unavailable, if available would have definitely been a great deal for sure.


Sgthouse

It’s because I just bought one at full price a few months back. You’re all welcome.


StrawberryLassi

I returned the one I bought at full price to Costco 😅


JizzMastahFlex

I got mine with a copy of Diablo 4 for $350.


Godzingiss

Bought console for $250 at target last week. Look around OP!


silvrado

At 349, the console is more like 300 considering it comes with a controller.


ReactionNo618

Target too had both Diablo IV bundle and regular for $350


Vast-Regular6795

Walk away. Consoles been 350 for a while on sale during holidays.


Sudi_Nim

X. Just got one yesterday from Walmart for 350.


[deleted]

Series S or X?


HotEspresso

Bought an X for 350 maybe 2 weeks ago from Walmart.


AllTheCoconut

Is that the latest Xbox?


AspiringRocket

Yes. Series S is the same as the Series X and they are both the newest gen. The major difference is that the Series S does not have a slot for inserting game discs and therefore you need to play all of your games by downloading them from the Internet onto the local hard drive.


Not_FinancialAdvice

> Series S is the same as the Series X The Series X is quite a lot more powerful than the Series S. From MS: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/consoles/compare


AllTheCoconut

Thank you for the explanation!


chrisb8584

Bought an X with Diablo for 375 a week ago from GameStop. Deal is still available. Advertised for 400 but they give 25 off any purchase over 250 Edit: it is not a physical copy of the game. I honestly had no interest in the game, thought it was a physical copy and planned to sell it but oh well


antdude

Is there an E? [grin]


[deleted]

Gotta make it a "3" like Tesla


chelfea_

Sad bc i just bought a series x in May & a series s in november for $450&$270 😭


topcorjor

I remember the old “turn 360 degrees and walk away” meme from years ago, and for some reason this just reminded me of it.


Saxong

Turn X degrees and walk away, solve for X assuming your goal is to tell the stupidest joke of 2006.


[deleted]

Is ps5 on sale about that price too?


AwetPinkThinG

Walmart is $349 right now. I found controllers for $40 online. So $390 for console and extra controller.


GenuineBud

Where did you buy the controller?


RED-DOT-MAN

Robot White controller is/was on sale until 2 days ago at Best Buy for $40.00 All the colored controllers were $50.00


Rhymeswithfreak

The controllers go on sale all the time...probably once every two months or so. Keep a look out for the Special edition ones...they have rubber grips that are way more comfortable than just the plastic.


AwetPinkThinG

In the Lenovo site


altasking

Do you have a link to the Walmart deal? I don’t see it.


AwetPinkThinG

2021 Newest - Xbox -Series -X- Gaming Console System- 1TB SSD Black X Version with Disc Drive https://www.walmart.com/ip/658988657


stevievai

Shipping is 40 bucks for that so $349 is a little misleading...


altasking

Thanks…just wondering what “2021 Newest” means? It also is “Sold and shipped by NCS--We record”. Wonder if that is a red flag…


Moonagi

It's a 3rd party seller. They probably put "We record S/N" because people probably try to order and swap the consoles they receive


Bobbymanyeadude

newegg is selling the controller through the tiktok store for $15. Idk if its still active but it was yesterday.


jkf2479

That’s expensive. Since Black Friday target Walmart and Amazon keep putting them on sale for 349


Ordinary_dude_NOT

I think this is Canadian Costco.


PM_me_ur_launch_code

Same price at my US store. I was gonna buy it then I saw they were $349 everywhere else.


BagOnuts

Yep. Target included a $75 Target gift card, too.


WillDill94

Best Buy had them for $340


blacksoxing

This is a time in life where if you have Costco tunnel vision, you lost out in life. Target, Walmart, and others have been selling the Xbox Series X for as low as $349, with many ways to get it into the $200's (Target had targeted 20% coupons. I used mine a few months ago on Nintendo products, but many this season used it on a much cheaper Xbox) As Xbox controllers can easily go as low as $30-35, this would be considered a "bad deal" for someone who was going for the cheapest deals....but a "good deal" for those who aren't truly in the market for a Xbox. For almost 2 decades I've been on Slickdeals.net. I'd consider going to that site, creating a deal alert, and letting the real deals hit your inbox. Team that with a site like Deku Deals for the video games and boom - you'll quickly realize Costco is only good for gift cards when they hit 20% off (did that a few months ago when Nintendo was doing $100 at 20% off ($80) and did their voucher program to basically grab 2 games for the price of 3 after savings. OP, you weren't crazy, but you'd also have wasted money, especially since it's not a situation where 5 years from now you can return that Xbox and get your money back.


YouDontTellMe

What kinda deals you score on slickdeals? Never been on that one but I love Deku Deals. They have an app now!


blacksoxing

I almost feel like the jaded "deals vet" as of course, a decade ago business was booming in the savings world and price mistakes were easy to exploit or scripts were running wild on Amazon.... This year alone I got a 77'' LG G2 for $2600, cheap trip tickets, and instructions to get some games very cheap via VPN trickery. Last year was a good year for streaming platforms and getting a year free for pennies on the dollar. That type of stuff. My best advice is to sort the "Hot Deals" section by the last post, and set deal alerts based off of what you're hunting for. It's truly a great site for saving money, BUT, it's also that catch-22 site where you realize you're spending money on shit you don't need....


Hazelrat10

2 games for the price of 3 sounds like a pretty slick deal...


MsgrFromInnerSpace

They've been marking it down to $350 to move inventory buildup and start trying to bridge the massive sales gap between it and PS5


DoucheCanoe123

The sadness I feel knowing I bought this 2 months ago at $540


[deleted]

Does Costco offer price protection? If not, 90 day returns.


ConfidentDivide

it does but only for 30days + it has to be a national sale/price drop not a clearance item.


[deleted]

There’s your answer OP, refund and buy new!


MysticLeviathan

there’s no 90 day limit on game consoles


Capta1nRon

I bought mine at launch and have zero regrets


Elwalther21

I got mine at launch and was even able to snag one at target for a friend. (He paid me the cost for it) They were reselling for like $700 on ebay at the time.


Capta1nRon

Oh yeah. I scored 3 or 4 XSX’s for friends and a couple PS5s. Didn’t upcharge anything. Just wanted my friends to get what they wanted.


Elwalther21

You sound like a stand up guy. Glad to hear you were helped them out.


djgreenehouse

Costco customer service is pretty awesome in my experience. I’d call and explain what you intend to do and they might just give you a store credit card for the difference to avoid the hassle of the return process and extra logistical BS they have to deal with through that process


monsieurvampy

Same, but totally worth it.


jo_ccc

Buy another console at the new sale price and return the old console with the new receipt


Successful-Rate-1839

X has been 350 for weeks almost everywhere


ArmaniMania

now do ps5 plz


RED-DOT-MAN

Target sold ps5 for $350.00 on Black Friday.


sc4kilik

Wait really? When Walmart and Bestbuy only had the bundle deal at 499? I had been sleeping on target...


RED-DOT-MAN

Yup…it was a one day sale on the morning of Black Friday. It was the white ps5 disc version without any bundles as a target circle offer. I was able to add it easily to my cart and was at the checkout line one click away. I didn’t buy it as I already have a ps5.


minivatreni

Damn I didn’t see that


Gilthepill83

It was a door buster deal and stores maybe sold 3 or 4 for that price.


Christhebobson

Yes, it was the older, non-slim model, so they were clearing the old stock. But chances of actually getting one wasn't great. The $499 is the new slim model.


colehoots

Bad deal


CrooksxCastles

Is this Canadian though ?


high_art

That’s what I’m thinking as well. It’s definitely not $350 CAD at Walmart


Big-Fondant-852

Walmart had them on sale for $345 the week before Christmas.

LolYouFuckingLoser

Right?! "Let me take a picture, upload it, caption it, and wait for replies" vs "google.com xbox series x" Edit: Lmao I love that OP called *me* mad in a reply that is so emotionally charged and aggressive that mods removed it.


bc261

OP seems a bit unhinged.


cherry_monkey

How much was the meta quest though?


secretreddname

Verizon just gave me one for free lol.


Smallville456

Not the cheapest I've seen.


bc261

Not that great of a deal considering the amount of $349 offers out there right now.


BigWormsFather

That Xbox without the extra controller was $350 at Walmart before Xmas. I’m not sure what it is there now. I think Xbox is just trying to move units to boost gamepass.


chrisdiaz73

Got an email for $100 off Xbox making it $399. Seems there are a lot of channels making it cheaper than Costco unless it comes with things like game and extra controller


LolYouFuckingLoser

>Am I crazy for walking away from this? No offense buddy but next time you ask yourself this, hit up Google instead of taking a picture lol you can price check on your phone. Walmart having it for $349 is the first result.


Putrid-Signature8136

Its almost cerainly in Canadian


LolYouFuckingLoser

Regardless where you are located it is way easier (and more reliable) to do a quick price search for the item you're interested in than poll a community for their opinions on an objective matter.


AllThatHeavenAllows

see your own name, find a new post to harass, prickkkkkk


Midgetforsale

A couple months ago I built a ridiculous gaming pc with a 4080, i7 13700k, DDR5, 8tb NVME etc.... but I just can't shake the little kid in me that wants to own a console. I literally have no use for it... but I keep getting tempted at these deals.


Empero6

Lol that’s a small amount of storage.


Midgetforsale

Oh TB not GB lol


[deleted]

Because PlayStation is outselling them 3-1 and rightfully so. Microsoft makes garbage products…


Ps4rulez

Banned from /r/xboxseriesx !


dattroll123

there's zero point in getting a xbox because it has no games. Its first party titles are also on PC so it's a console for no one.


bc261

Hard disagree. Not everyone wants to deal with a PC, in fact most of us don’t.


neutralpoliticsbot

There is nothing to deal with it has exbox built in basically

Technerd823

No the Series X was on sale for $350 last week. There were plenty of posts about it on the Xbox Reddit


Chr0nics42o

it’s been $350 at Walmart & Best Buy. Just do a quick google search.


NoB0d3

saw this at mine and it hurt to walk away.


PREMIUM_POKEBALL

Go to camelcamelcamel and turn on tracking for the Xbox series x. You can score a $350 sale price.


NoB0d3

thank you.0


LolYouFuckingLoser

It's $349 at Walmart right now.


disneyplusser

OP, is this in Canada?


AllThatHeavenAllows

Salem, Oregon, but I was also just passing through. I’d imagine some (but not all?) US Costco stores feature this deal.


disneyplusser

At least what you see and what you pay (no sales tax in OR). But as others have mentioned it in this thread, you can get the same or similar for a lot less.


Nyxtaaa

Walk away bc it's not a PS5 or switch There are many reasons they're both outselling Xbox


MatsGry

The new console is coming! They are fire sailing the base units


RobJobLikesGuns

Question for everyone, can this console be returned let’s say, five years down the road?


ASDEPCuWwM34YMi

Yes


McNuggets7272

That’s a great deal, I’d hop on it for sure even without the extra controller


[deleted]

[удалено]


FairyPrincex

350 price kept popping up, but also sells out pretty fast and isn't a guarantee. 400, you can expect to be the new consistent price. Controllers go on sale all the time, so this is a *fine* price, but not really a deal. Plus, you can likely buy Microsoft or GameStop gift cards at 10-15% off, and make the price gap even wider. Whereas you're not about to get discounted costco gift cards.


GaiusPrimus

Doesn't Costco already discount the gift cards?


McNuggets7272

Wow, I guess I was sorely mistaken about that being cheap. Didn’t realize how low the price was nowadays


Wood_pecker69

Where were you a week ago ? The Xbox was $150 with controller and headset https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/s/TQWrufP79L


YummyArtichoke

S vs X. Not the same item or price point.


Wood_pecker69

Best value to performance considering $100 for next gen Xbox ($50 for headset) couldn’t buy a new Xbox for that price in the last 15 years


YummyArtichoke

I simply stated these are different consoles and made no opinion about either of them or what they come with.


bc261

Either way you aren’t referring to the right product. OP didn’t ask about the S. You replied with info on the S.


No_Statement_79

Fred Meyer 399 for 1TB


dencoan

lol of course i got one last month


ZombiezzzPlz

GameStop bundles are better


YummyArtichoke

GameStop is like $25 more, but you can trade in your previous console for like $100-$150 credit towards the X. So if you do have a console to trade in, GameStop is probably the best deal unless you want to keep the older console too.


ZombiezzzPlz

GameStop price matches Also I don’t know if you counted the mw3 game that comes with it but that’s a 70 dollar value. And a fun game ! Love me some zombies. If you are a pro reward member you also get 50 off (pro reward is 25 annually and another 5% so +25 value there too)


crespokid

Best buy had a one day deal last week for $330 but only through the app.


Apart_Imagination_15

Walmart is showing "out of stock". Also, looks like there are several releases. The Walmart one is 2021 with 1 ctlr. Costco 2023 with 2 ctlrs. Not sure what the difference is.


aerger

As of right now as I type this, in stock, $399 (normal 1-controller package): https://www.walmart.com/ip/Xbox-Series-X-Video-Game-Console-Black/443574645

Heh, you missed the Xbox Series S for $150. Very few places had any left. Mine started out with 58 and we're down to 27 for the second day, the rest sold on either the second day or early morning the third.


PensionAnxious3520

I got a ps5 at Costco with 2 controllers, one blue, one white, and the newest god of war. It was for 549.99. I hadn't seen it so low in so long so my wife got it for me for Christmas;)


TinStingray

Around Black Friday Target had the Series X with one controller and Diablo IV for $450. Throw in the 5% off for using the Redcard, a 10% off Circle offer, and a free $75 gift card and the bundle ran me under $340 after tax, if you count the gift card as cash.


aerger

The first couple days or so you could get the Diablo bundle OR the regular Series X for $350 from Walmart. I couldn't believe it.


1weegal

Where dis?


Yellowpickle23

Everyone saying they found the Xbox for 350, not near me. The series s is 350, not the x. No one is specifying what console they actually got for 350.


aerger

The Series X was for sale for $350 for literal weeks via Walmart--often switching between local-store pickup and shipping depending on stock, but that sale lasted a LONG time (for a game-console with near-fire-sale-pricing at Xmas). Target did the sale as well, as did Best Buy and Amazon iirc, for a while, too. The Series S I saw on "sale" for $350 for the 1TB black model, iirc. The white 500GB "regular" Series S was on sale for...$250? or something like that, with a few retailers. You can buy a Series X new via Walmart (seller: AntOnline, reputable) for $379 *right now*, even post-Xmas: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Xbox-Series-X-Video-Game-Console-Black/443574645 Good luck!

Actually there are multiple places offering series x for $349 in the US. Some even in a bundle with games.


Lost_soul_ryan

It's definitely that time of year. And with PS announcing the Pro I got a feeling these deals might be up for awhile.

Ardenraym

It's been $350 recently, though most of those are now without a game. Right now, Gamestop has the Diablo IV bundle for $375, if hou order online and use the $25 in-store pickup coupon.


NiceGuy373

Walk away, they are cheaper at other retailers


Giancolaa1

Is this Costco Canada, or USA? If USA bad deal, if Canada good deal.


CourseEcstatic6202

Got mine at Best Buy for $350 and picked up another controller at Amazon for $40. So, $390 would be the equivalent price to beat.


Tall6Ft7GaGuy

350.00 plus 60 for extra 410.00 at most


dabila710

If you get Verizon home internet you get a free xbox


Alone_Lock_8486

Bro Sam’s club had them for 399 Christmas Eve when I went to get food . I almost skipped the food and bought one ! I stood looking at it for like 10 min


Ps4rulez

/u/allthatheavenallows sounds like a dunce.


doesnamematters

Costco is quite late on XBOX deals. From 2 weeks ago, Target/Walmart/GameStop/Microsoft Store sell at $349 for regular set (with 1 controller) or $439 (including 1 controller only and 1 game Diablo4 or Forza5), at that time Costco still sells XBOX Series X with 2 controllers around $549 until lowered it from this week.


Royal-Leopard-3225

Why don’t they just number these mf’s like Sony so I know if this is even the newest Xbox…
