That limited edition green see-through Xbox Series X reportedly costs as much as a PS5 Pro, and releases on Black Friday

Key Points:

• The limited edition translucent green Xbox Series X25 for Xbox's 25th anniversary is reportedly launching on November 27th, priced at €899.99 ($899.99), making it about €100 more expensive than the standard Xbox Series X and on par with the PS5 Pro in Europe.
• The higher price is attributed to its unique see-through green casing that reveals the internal components, along with a matching translucent controller, distinguishing it from the regular model.
• UK pricing has not been confirmed, but it is expected to be around £789.99, approximately £100 more than the standard disc-drive Xbox Series X priced at £669.99.
• The Xbox division is undergoing significant restructuring, resulting in thousands of job cuts and impacting first-party studios, game development, and staff morale amid ongoing protests.
• Microsoft raised Xbox console prices earlier this year due to global shortages of memory and storage components driven by high AI datacenter demand, which has affected the affordability of models like the Xbox Series S and Series X.
