At last, we've finally got some price and release date information for Microsoft's next-gen consoles! General consensus seems to suggest that we are all quite happy with the price Microsoft has settled on for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S - especially for the lesser-powered console. But what got most poised to open their coffers was the prices available through the Xbox All Access financing program.
The headline that's got most folks talking? It's the fact that you could be playing on a next-gen console from as little at £20.99/$24.99/€24.99 a month. You pay nothing upfront, there's 0 per cent interest, it includes two years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and the console is yours to keep after you complete payments at the end of 24 months.
It sounds phenomenal in isolation - like something straight from the mouth of Stan from Monkey Island - but how good of a deal is it really? Here's a closer look at the Xbox All Access program and whether it really is the best way to buy an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S.
