Following a trend in the gaming market, Microsoft is hiking the prices of all Xbox variants in the US, with one particular version of the Series X costing up to $800. That's the price of a solid PC, built from parts as old as the Xbox.
As announced on the Xbox support page, these new prices come into effect on Oct. 3. The Series S will run you $399.99 and $449.99 for the 512GB and 1TB variants, while the Series X will go for $599.99 and $649.99 for the Digital and Physical versions, respectively. The 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition variant of the Series X now costs $799.99, which is a ludicrous price for five-year-old hardware that you'd expect to become cheaper over time.
