Games are going to become much more expensive – at least for fans of Xbox. Came today, May 1, Microsoft increases the price of Xbox consoles and controllersand not for an insignificant amount:
-
Xbox Series S 512 GB is currently $ 380, which is more than 25 percent more than $ 300.
-
The digital Xbox Series X 1 TB is currently $ 550, which is 22 percent more than $ 450.
-
The Xbox S 1 TB series is currently $ 430, which is 22 percent more than $ 350).
-
Xbox Series X 1 TB with Blu-Ray currently is $ 600, which is 20 percent more than $ 500.
-
The Special Edition Series Series X 2TB Galaxy Black is currently $ 730, which is 22 percent more than $ 600.
The news does not end there. Controllers and headsets are now starting with $ 65 and compared to $ 200 for the “full” series of Xbox Elite wireless controllers. The latter seems to be more about relying on ambitious nintendo Switch 2 pricing of the gameAnd less about any possible impact on the tariff (although it is worth noting that the prices of Xbox are rising around the world, and not just in the USA).
But not everyone is negative, as if you are in the market for a new console, the prices in the online stores have not yet been caught up. Before you pull out your credit card, remember several key warnings here.

Nevertheless, if you were waiting to buy Xbox, now is the time, since these outdated prices can disappear at any moment.

Given the announcement that this console will now start with $ 380, capture one for $ 274, it seems that a savings of more than $ 100 in the form of savings. Just make sure that 512 GB is enough for your game needs before clicking on the purchase. (Expanded storage modules exist, but they are not cheap.)
Walmart
On the fence about how much storage do you need? Take it from someone, who made (and paid) this mistake in the past: be more. Especially, while this console is at this price. The new MSRP is $ 430.
Amazon
Despite the fact that I knew that I would see a day, for some reason, seeing a game console for more than $ 500, it just hurts. Fortunately, the digital model 1 TB can still be found at this price, at least at the moment, since the MSRP has only increased to $ 550.
Amazon
Yesterday it was not a deal at all. Today it is $ 100 for MSRP. If you still want to play games and films based on discs, catch this model, while it is still in price to the price.
Amazon
Ringing prices or not, this is a legally good deal on a legally great controller. I don't like all the white look? Check more colorful options below.
Walmart
Of course, you pay $ 5 more for a color controller, but I think it is worth it, especially when you use it every day. 50 dollars for a wireless controller is a good deal, even without increasing MSRP.
Walmart
If you use your controller every day, it is a decent update at a more than a worthy price. The new MSRP costs $ 150, so you get a 33% discount of $ 49.
