Xbox listings vanish from Costco in the US and the UK — before Microsoft's price hikes

A Costco store sign is in Brampton, Ontario.

This year has been troubling for Xbox hardware. Recently, Microsoft announced a price hike in the U.S. that’s due to go into effect this October, bringing the price all the way up to $649.99. Now, it seems a retailer is dropping their Xbox inventory altogether. Noted by keen-eyed shoppers across the internet, it seems Costco has removed all mentions of Xbox from its online storefronts.

When searching for Xbox on the site within the United States or the United Kingdom, no results appear. When I checked for myself on the U.S. side, I was greeted with “We're sorry. We were not able to find a match.” Welp, that sucks. As someone who already owns a few Xbox consoles and generally buys digital content, I would buy Xbox currency cards on a regular basis at Costco.
