Sky and BT watch out, Virgin Media is dishing out free Xbox consoles - here's how to get yours

BT and Sky customers might fancy making the switch to Virgin Media. The UK Internet Service Provider has just announced the launch of a limited-time deal that's offering new customers the chance to grab an Xbox Series S console, worth £249, for free.

All they have to do is sign up for one of three broadband and TV plans and the next-gen machine will be sent out without having to reach for the credit card.

This latest device from Microsoft features a fast processor that can keep pace with all the latest blockbuster games. There's also a sleek design and it's fully compatibility with Xbox Games Pass which offers over 100 top titles for a monthly subscription fee.

Sound tempting? The Xbox is available on plans including the Bigger Bundle + Sports, Bigger Bundle + Movies and Ultimate Volt Bundle.

These options all include speedy broadband and TV channels with the Ultimate Volt Bundle also featuring Virgin's best 1Gbps speeds plus an O2 SIM for your smartphone.

Another bonus of signing up for this deal is that Virgin has also scrapped its usual £35 set-up fee meaning its totally free to leave your current supplier and join.

If that free Xbox doesn't sound of interest then don't panic as Virgin is also offering £200 bill credit instead. This cash is added to your account and can be used to chop down the monthly bills.

Not to be outdone, BT and Sky are also both running promotions right now.

BT is dishing out Sky channels and Netflix for just £1 with this incredible deal lasting for the first 6 months of the 24-month contract. It's available to new and existing users who are signed up for the firm's broadband service.

Sky has also launched a deal that includes its Stream box plus broadband and TV channels for the lowest-ever price. That means you'll pay just £38 per month instead of the usual £44.

The bonus of switching to Stream is that you don't need a dish as all of Sky's content is delivered via the internet - that means no fussy set-up or annoying installation.
