Buying the Xbox Series X has been Problematic Due to Scalpers
With gamers struggling to get their hands on the Xbox Series X, the Xbox Series S has been looked to by some as an alternative to the Microsoft console. The good thing about the S version is that it is more widely available than the Xbox Series X.
Purchasing the Xbox Series X is problematic, to say the least, with buyers struggling to get the console at a fair price. Due to the limited stock of the Xbox Series X, scalpers have taken advantage of the situation.
Scalpers have Not Touched the Xbox Series S Compared to the Xbox Series X
Scalpers would buy out all available supplies for the Xbox Series X and sell them online at a higher price. To do this, scalpers use bots for them to be able to place automatic orders to secure the console.
An article by IGN covered just how bots are being used by scalpers resulting in them being able to wipe out any available supply. Although scalpers used to meddle with the Xbox Series S, most of their efforts were focused on the Xbox Series X and the PS5.
Xbox Series S Restock Spotted Online
While the Xbox Series S has not had the same supply problem compared to the Xbox Series X, with there usually being available supply, being sold at a discount is still really good news. According to the story by Pocket-Lint, the Xbox Series S restock will be available on Amazon Prime Early Access Sale at a discounted price.
So far, the article could spot an Xbox Series S with all the bells and whistles, including the Xbox Wireless Controller, a power cable, an HDMI cable, and two AA batteries being sold at just £169.99 or just $187.93 from its original $229.99 or $254.25.

Condition of the Microsoft Console Being Sold Online
The console was tagged as "certified refurbished" on Amazon for the Xbox Series S model. Despite this, buyers will be able to purchase the console at a much lower price than its original listing.
The sale is bringing the price of the Xbox Series S down by £40 to its sale price as of press time. The discounted price will make the Xbox Series S more affordable for gamers that were otherwise waiting for their chance to purchase the Xbox Series X.
Instead of waiting indefinitely for the Xbox Series X, the Xbox Series S is another option to purchase especially since it is being sold at a significant discount.
