How much will the Xbox Series X cost on Black Friday 2021?
Given the current situation of limited supply and major demand, we don't think there'll be any price drop on the Xbox Series X console when Black Friday comes around.
Retailers have absolutely no incentive to make this highly sought after piece of hardware any cheaper than the RRP of £449.99.
Indeed, we're seeing stores like Amazon inflate the price of devices like the new Nintendo Switch OLED, which is in limited stock right now.
So if anything, you can expect to pay more than the RRP if and when there are Xbox Series X stock drops when the late-November sale arrives.
When will the best Xbox Series X Black Friday deals start?
One thing to keep in mind about Black Friday is that it goes on for far long than a single day.
In reality, all the major sales start to get launched a week or even two weeks ahead of the day itself.
In fact, some retailers go so far as to roll out early-bird sales as far in advance as the beginning of November.
If you're on the hunt for price drops across Xbox Series X games and accessories, you should bookmark this page and return to it around the mid-November point.

When will Xbox Series X Black Friday deals end?
The Black Friday sales period typically comes to an end on Cyber Monday - but there's no fixed schedule when it comes to this hectic sale period.
As November draws to a close, there's obviously still a substantial amount of time before Christmas, so it's not impossible that retailers will send out a final wave of pre-festive price drops on less popular games and accessories.
We suggest you focus your energies on hunting for Xbox Series X deals during the two weeks preceding Black Friday.
However, since console stock is so sporadic and unpredictable at the moment, there may still be drops from retailers well into December - just don't go promising anyone you know that they'll find it under the Christmas tree this year.
What should I look out for when buying an Xbox Series X on Black Friday 2021?
If you're in the scramble to pick up one of these hugely popular consoles, head to our Xbox Series X stock page to stay up-to-date with availability.
It's here where you'll find the latest news and rumours of stock drops from the likes of Amazon, Argos, John Lewis, GAME and Very.

When is Cyber Monday 2021?
Immediately after the weekend that follows Black Friday is Cyber Monday.
It gets its fusty-sounding name from its root as day of online-only deals - traditionally, Black Friday is the day you'd dash around around the store aisles, whilst Cyber Monday is the opportunity to browse on the internet instead.
These days, however, nearly all deals are available both in-store or online, and there's very little to distinguish the two days.
Cyber Monday is a chance for retailers to both send out their final waves of deals, and to further lower prices of products already on sale.
