Yeah, this is crazy. I bought this same model for $349 from a slickdeal found on this site completely on a whim as a Christmas present to myself in 2023. I'm so glad I did a big electronics upgrade spree 2024-2025. Phones, desktops, laptops, and tablets all got replaced. It would be double to triple price to do the same thing now.

Community Reviews

The Xbox Series X is still valued for strong backward compatibility, Play Anywhere support, and the convenience of cloud saves across Xbox and PC. It also pairs well with a decent PC through the Xbox app, and some prefer it over other consoles for more consumer friendly features. The main knocks are price and timing, with this $546 deal called expensive compared with past purchases and cheaper promos. There is also hesitation around waiting for Project Helix or Black Friday, and concern about the long term reliability of a used disc drive.

This is definitely higher than the launch price and the price a year ago.

Remember this ridiculous high hike on electronics is all thanks to people continuing to support ingreedia even after the pandemic GPU shortage and scalping scandal. People are hopeless.

It's hard to justify that price given the future of the console and the games. PS5 Pro and Switch 2 are better
Switch 2 is better? Are you a Nintendo fanboy or what. In no world is the Switch 2 better in any manner than the Xbox X.

Looking at units sold, Xbox Series X/S is at an estimated 35 million units, while in its sixth year. The Switch 2 sold slightly under 20 million in its first year.

I'm not referring to sales. Just the specs of the machines and what they are capable of running.

Switch 2 is the world's most powerful handheld gaming device (thanks to DLSS) under $1000 that will get AAA exclusives until at least 2031.

Series X is an older failed console that had almost all of its exclusives ported to the PS5 and might be out of support for new AAA games in two or three years if a completely different concept for an Xbox follows it.

Not saying it's not a good deal- especially if all you want is a decent machine that plays GTA 6- but a Switch 2 has more relative value because of a longer future lifespan. Hardware power isn't everything or we would all be playing Atari Jaguar 6s nowadays.

I kick myself seeing these prices when I bought one for $430 shipped from Walmart years ago on sale (using a friends employee discount on top). Sold it to a friend at-cost after I got my RTX 3080 thinking I'd never need a console again. Now I've got to wait another year after GTA VI releases to play it on PC because I refuse to pay these new prices for a console for a single game.

Yes, because consumers base their purchasing decision solely on specs. /s

XSX plays almost everything the ps5 does and has backwards compatibility back to the original Xbox. I've owned almost every console since the original NES and have been looking for an excuse to buy the ps5 and still have yet to find one.
The state of console prices, and electronics in general, is what it is.
