The Xbox Series X gets a price drop to its lowest-ever price, but it won’t last long
If you’re looking to buy an Xbox Series X but have been avoiding its high price tag, here’s a deal that brings it down to its lowest price point yet.
With news of the Xbox Series X getting a price increase to match the PS5 in the market, and the FTC trial being over in favor of Microsoft, leading to them having even more power for how much they want to charge for their console and its services, this deal seems like it’s a sign: Dell is currently having a deal on the Xbox Series X for $449.99 USD.
Normally, the Xbox Series X has an MSRP of $499.99 (set to increase this year). What this means is that Dell is running a deal that takes $50 USD (or about 10%) off the standard price of the console. This deal comes at an amazing time, as Bethesda is getting ready for the release of Starfield, its biggest title yet and an exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem, just next month.
You can find this deal right on Dell’s official store page.
Now is the best time to get an Xbox Series X
If you’re not exactly sold on the idea of getting a new console, just take a look at some of the latest news regarding Xbox from the past few weeks. Not only has Microsoft won the lawsuit presented by the FTC and now has the green light to buy Activision Blizzard. Even the CMA now seems to be open for business in the UK. This alone means that the platform is set to aquire dozens of studios alongside their legendary IP like Crash Bandicoot, Diablo, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and of course, Call of Duty.
On the other hand, they’re also getting ready to update their subscriptions services, with Xbox Live Gold being retired in favor of the new Xbox Game Pass Core. The new service will go live on September 14 and offer players a catalog of 25 games immediately, with the promise of more being added continually for subscribers to enjoy.
And recently, it was announced that the critically acclaimed MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV, is finally making its way to Xbox consoles after more than 10 years of waiting. This was announced by Phil Spencer himself during a surprise appearance on the game’s Fan Fest in Las Vegas just last week.
