The Xbox Series X is retailing with an RRP of £449.99. This is about in line with the traditional launch price for a console, and given the high-end components included in the console, including an SSD and significant amounts of GPU, it’s a solid price. What makes a pleasant change is the price is kinder to the UK than is usual on console pricing. In the past, consoles have launched with the same price tag in Euros and US Dollars as in pound sterling, so it’s actually beneficial to pick the console up at its UK price. For that price, you’ll also receive the revamped wireless controller design.
We'd expect as we go further into the Xbox Series X's life cycle that retailers will have to offer better Xbox Series X deals that drop it below the RRP or bundle in items that offer that additional value. You also have the option of picking up a refurbished Xbox Series X console from retailers like MusicMagpie and the Microsoft Store, ranging from £380-£420 depending on the condition.
