Looking for that brand-new game console for the perfect holiday gift? Good news: Xbox Series X consoles are in stock at Walmart, an almost unheard-of phenom. These tend to sell out really fast, so we have no idea how long this deal will last. Jump on it quick to snag a console before someone else buys them up!

The Xbox Series X is a monster of a console, with the capability of putting out 4K resolution, 120 frames per second and almost imperceptible load times. It's some of the best gaming has to offer right now.

The Xbox Series X is the more-powerful cousin of the Xbox Series S. It's much larger, with an internal disc drive that lets you play physical Xbox games as well as digital games. That drive also makes it a great choice for gamers who want to play their older Xbox and Xbox 360 titles (backwards compatibility for the win!).

"The Series X is just incredible. It's fast, graphics are crazy. Blows away my One X. Now I have the PS5 and Series X, best of both worlds and game pass is incredible," said one happy gamer.

Next-gen controllers come with a totally different level of quality than previous iterations, and that's reflected in the price — but at $20 off, this controller is an absolute steal.

If you need a spare controller for a younger sibling or just to have on-hand, now's the time to snatch these up at an incredible discount.

One gamer said, "Probably the best Xbox controller made yet! It is very comfortable to hold, has great texture for grip, the matte finish is really nice, I thought I wouldn’t like the new D-pad, but was I wrong. Only downsides in my opinion is the lack of a type-C cable in the box and the fact it still needs batteries. This is coming from a PlayStation gamer."
