'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
Xbox Series S deal: Shop at Best Buy, get Madden 23 or another game free
The Xbox Series S is a great way to enjoy gaming from the comfort of your couch or futon, but finding a great deal -- or any deal -- can be as challenging as beating that final boss. The good news is that when you buy the Xbox Series S from Best Buy right now, you'll get a free digital game. On top of this, the deal also includes 30 free days of FuboTV and three months of Apple TV+.
The Xbox Series S allows you to game across four generations of Xbox with thousands of games. When you're not gaming, you can stream Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, Microsoft Movies & TV, and more on your console. Additionally, you can buy an all-access gaming pass for $25 per month for 24 months to play those same thousands of games without having to purchase every single one. With 512GB of storage built into the gaming console, you'll have plenty of space to add games to your library.
Some of the games included in the sale are major hits, like Elden Ring, Forza Horizon 5, Madden NFL 23 Standard Edition, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, Call of Duty, and more. Even the new Saints Row game that releases next week is included.
The FuboTV subscription offers over 100 channels live and on demand, and it also includes cloud DVR storage. You'll get to stream hits like Yellowstone, The Voice, and 60 Minutes, and you'll get to watch your favorite sports like Major League Baseball, NASCAR, and more. In addition to these great channels, you'll also get Apple TV+ movies and shows like Severance and Ted Lasso.
The deal lasts for a few days, but if you don't want to miss this great deal, we recommend that you add it to your cart today.
