After decades of watching technology get dramatically cheaper as it aged, it looks like those of us in the US are going to need to get used to gadgets quickly growing more expensive instead. Microsoft has announced another round of price hikes for Xbox Series X and S consoles, less than five months after its last price increase.
"Beginning on October 3, we will update the recommended retailer pricing for Series S and Series X consoles in the United States due to changes in the macroeconomic environment," Microsoft says in its announcement. "We understand that these changes are challenging, and they were made with careful consideration. Looking ahead, we continue to focus on offering more ways to play more games across any screen and providing value for Xbox players."
