UPDATE: Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox Series X25 will cost $899 USD (Australian price is still pending but we’d expect it to be around ~$1300 AUD at least) and release on November 13th and will come with a full copy of halo Campaign Evolved with every console being numbered. Pre-orders will begin today for some Xbox fans who will be emailed before opening for everyone tomorrow.
For those that just want the controller, you can grab that now. Xbox 25 Special Edition controller will release on October 20th and pre-orders are live now on the Microsoft Store for $120. It will feature that same green translucent design and we’ll keep you posted when it comes to other retailers but you can grab it from the Microsoft Store HERE.
ORIGINAL STORY: The release date and pricing for both Xbox’s upcoming celebratory limited-edition Xbox Series X and matching controller have seemingly leaked online.
billbul-kun, of Dealabs, who has a history of being quite accurate with this kind of information, has reported the console’s release date and price in Europe.
The reported price, which includes the 1TB limited-edition console as well as a matching controller, is €899.99, with billbul-kun estimating the price to be around the same mark for the US.
Based on this, and coupled with the fact that a base Xbox Series X 1TB is $1099 AUD, we can safely assume the bundle costs anywhere between $1,200 AUD and $1,500 AUD.
According to the report, the console is expected to launch on Black Friday, November 27th.
The controller, on the other hand, is expected to reach shelves on October 20 for anywhere between $119.95 and $129.95 AUD, based on pricing in other regions.
