Score a discounted Xbox console before the prices jump

Microsoft announced that Xbox console prices will increase in August, marking the second price hike in under a year. This decision is attributed to rising memory costs, which are impacting various industries including automotive and computing. In anticipation of these price changes, retailers are offering discounts on Xbox consoles, with some deals available through Prime Day promotions. For instance, the Xbox Series X is currently discounted by $50, bringing its price down to $449.99, and the Xbox Series S 1TB model is available for $299.99, a $50 reduction from its usual price. These promotional prices are intended to allow consumers to purchase consoles before the general price increase takes effect. The company has not specified the exact date in August when the price adjustments will be implemented, nor has it detailed the extent of the upcoming price rises for all Xbox models.
