Gamers can get a free XBox Series S console from Virgin Media - but only if they act fast

April has bought an increase in bills for many of us, as mobile phone and TV providers add a percentage increase to their base packages to cover the cost of inflation.

While one way to offset these increases during the cost of living crisis is to consider a change of provider, a new deal courtesy of Virgin Media gives gamers a big bonus, but only if they act quickly.

Shoppers who sign up to a new broadband or TV plan with the provider can get an Xbox Series S console totally free.

This is a considerably saving for gamers and gadget lovers, with retailers like Amazon and GAME selling the entry-level Microsoft console for £249, anyone looking to switch to a better value anyway.

The deal was first highlighted by The Mirror and is available to all customers who buy a combined broadband and tv package, but shoppers need to make sure they're getting the correct one.

The Xbox comes free on the Bigger Bundle + Sports, Bigger Bundle + Movies or Ultimate Volt Bundle. Prices start at £60 a month, with the Ultimate Vold Bundle going up to £85 a month.

But shoppers only have until the end of today (April 20) to claim the free deal.

The average broadband bill has increased by 14% this month according to Martyn Lewis, as providers adjust their pricing to cover increased inflation. This works out at an increase of between £2 and £5 a month depending on the provider.

Virgin customers who aren't gamers can instead get a £200 bill credit when signing up for any of the bundles.
