The Xbox Series S was officially revealed by Microsoft earlier today following a stream of leaks, and more information is being revealed about the system all the time - even the trailer is now out in the wild!
One of the latest reports comes from Video Games Chronicle's Andy Robinson on Twitter, who suggests that multiple sources have told him the Xbox Series S will be bundled with mobile phone contracts in the UK:
"If £249 isn't quite cheap enough, I've been told by multiple sources that Microsoft is planning to bundle Xbox Series S with mobile phone contracts in UK."
Andy went on to point out that he's not sure what kind of deals will be offered and whether the Xbox Series S will be given away for "free", but it might be integrated into the Xbox All Access subscription program:
"I imagine they will roll this into All Access and offer hardware/Game Pass/Live for an extra amount on your phone contract each month.
I've been told again and again recently that Xbox is going to aggressively push this."

Probably included on top-of-the-line Samsung phones ? and those phones also have xCloud app pre-installed I guess.
This is aggressive marketing...
Samsung note 20, the series S and game pass all for one monthly price. Was also talk of Samsung TVs going down the pay monthly and upgrade after a couple of years route. Could end up being a massive monthly bundle. 😂
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised, games consoles are normally featured in various phone contracts.
Wouldn't be for me though, I normally like to research and buy phones outright using a sim only deal. Normally works out cheaper
Can easily see All Access financing being offered alongside cellphone plans. It's a perfect way to do it, these already require credit checks and consolidates the bill into a single payment.
Heck, some might toss in a game pad clip at minimum to play GamePass streaming on the go, or even go further and throw in a Kishi.
Well they're definitely taking next gen more seriously then at the beginning of this one, hopefully it pays off
My phone's up for renewal...
Microsoft is not messing around this next generation. 👍🏻
Yeah, I'm getting this console. I did some measurements, and the Series X just can't fit under my tv, but this seems like a next alternative, and my first Next-Gen Console, as I'll probably get the Ps5 soon after.
This is done in Australia through Telsta and Microsoft's partnership for Xbox all access and has been announced to be happening again for series S/X which is really neat. It's also not a bad deal considering you keep the console if you stay for the full 24 months which I assume will stay for the S/X also.

@Tharsman There is a bundle for the “moga controller” (which can either be wired or wireless) with the newest Samsung right now. But yeah I makes sense to do it at the same time.
