Microsoft’s Xbox Series X could cost $599 and potentially be more expensive than the PS5, according to Alanah Pearce on the Kinda Funny XCast.

A retail source told Pearce that the Xbox Series X will cost nearly $600, which is surprising given previous rumours had suggested the Microsoft’s next-generation console could cost as low as $400. As mentioned near the 41-minute mark in the video below, the source messaged a picture of their work screen that had the Xbox Series X price on it.

This is the second time in a couple days a story has ran that suggest this price. I could be bullshite.

But possibly this will be the MSRP for the unit by itself and Microsoft will push bundle options for a lower price with a GamePass or All Access contract.

Did this really deserve its own thread since it’s another rumor and not fact?

At what point am I better off building a PC?


(I’ve done zero research into specs on either)

I guess this is the reaction to PS5 being reported to be more expensive.

Let the games begin.

It’s pretty crazy that we’re almost 3 months away from launch, and no prices have been released yet. Hurry up already.

I can't imagine PS5 being more than 600.00 but I can imagine Microsoft wanting to push the phone model to own an XBOX coupled with their services or pay a premium.

I don’t believe it. Anything over $500 is a huge mental hurdle for most of the population

Remember when Microsoft forced the Xbox One to release in 2013 at $500 because of the mandatory pack in Kinect?

What are the early exclusives going to be? With the latest Halo and Gears on XBone why would anyone buy this thing?

Why indeed. It seems its really all about GamePass and XCloud. Game Pass has really been where the I have found value in Xbox. Phil Spencer has mentioned several times over the past year that the strategy moving forward is give the consumer options on where to play whether that be PC, Xbone, or Series X. Its looking more likely I'll be sticking with my One X and PS 4 for a while longer. Still have lots of games from this gen to enjoy.

$600 isn't that bad. I don't know why gamers expect the price if consoles and games to remain stagnant forever.
