Xbox series X: Today’s best console deals from Amazon UK

The best Xbox deal right now is at Amazon, where you can grab the console with no accessories or add-ons and with 50 percent off gift wrapping (£449.99, Amazon.co.uk ). Prime customers can also enjoy free next-day delivery. Bundles usually stick around a little longer than lone consoles, as the increased price deters scalpers, but Amazon’s restock of the basic console has been ongoing for more than a week. The current stock situation is the best we have seen with the Xbox series X for months. As always the Xbox series S is easier to find in stock (£248.39, Amazon.co.uk ), but surging demand for the more powerful Xbox series X has seen the console regularly sell out across the board. Can you upgrade the Xbox hard drive? You can upgrade the Xbox series X storage with a simple plug-in accessory. The console comes with 1TB of built-in hard drive space. Some of that storage is taken up by system files, so you actually get a little less space than tha

I finally ditched the Xbox Series X controller for PC and I’m not looking back

If you look around in the gaming scene long enough, you’re going to find that a lot of folks have their own special hardware that they swear up and down makes them better at the b est PC games . One of the advantages of using a gaming PC over something like a PS5 or an Xbox is that you have total flexibility in the peripherals and accessories you use with them. And while controllers, gamepads – whatever you may call them – are more commonly associated with game consoles, they’re an important part of any PC gamer’s arsenal, especially if you’re playing Elden Ring as much as I’ve been. At home, I’ve been using a standard Xbox Series X controller that I got through the Xbox Design Lab. It’s seen me through some of the hardest parts of Elden Ring, and through pretty much every third-party game that’s come out over the last couple of years. However, there is a controller that a lot of gamer

The KFConsole is real, and it boasts one big advantage over the PS5 and Xbox Series X

Approved by Colonel Sanders himself, the KFConsole is here – and it finally solves a problem that literally no one cared about until now: how to keep your chicken warm while gaming.   The KFConsole, created in partnership with PC hardware manufacturer Cooler Master, promises to shake up the console war like a bag full of 11 herbs and spices with its built-in chicken chamber – a world’s first. It means the days of stomaching lukewarm poultry or suffering through a slightly cold piece of thigh are thankfully over. And it’s about time.  The console was first teased back in June, and caused more commotion on social media than a fox entering a chicken coop. Demand, strangely, was high for a console from the long-running fast food chain, and well… here it is.  The KFConsole is designed to keep your freshly purchased food piping as you frag foes online, something which the PS5 and Xbox Series X simply can’t do (and we wouldn’t advise trying, either). The custom built cooling
