Xbox Series X Prices Compared
Xbox Series X pricing varies by retailer, bundle, condition, storage/model version, availability and current promotions. Compare current retailer listings below, then verify the final price at checkout before you buy.
How much does an Xbox Series X cost?
Microsoft's list price for the 1TB Xbox Series X has been $499 — shown here as a reference point, not a live quote. The 2TB Galaxy Black model sits above that, and the digital-only Series S is the budget option well below it. The price you actually pay depends on the retailer, any bundle, the condition (new, used or refurbished) and current promotions, so the comparison above is the best guide to today's cost.
What changes Xbox Series X prices?
Retailer & promotions: sales events such as Prime Day, Black Friday and holiday weekends move prices between stores.
Bundle contents: an extra controller, a game or added storage changes the total you pay.
Condition: new, used and manufacturer-refurbished units are priced differently.
Storage / model version: 1TB Series X, 2TB Series X and Series S each carry their own price.
Availability: stock levels and restocks affect what retailers charge. Because of all this, it's worth comparing current listings rather than relying on one fixed number.
Xbox Series X bundles vs console-only pricing
Retailers sell the Series X both as a console-only box and in bundles that add a controller, a game or extra storage — and Xbox All Access spreads the cost monthly with Game Pass. A bundle can be good value when you want everything inside it, but compare the bundle's total against a console-only listing plus the separate items you need, since buying separately during a sale sometimes costs less.
New vs used / refurbished Xbox Series X pricing
New: full manufacturer warranty and the latest hardware revision. Refurbished: manufacturer-refurbished units (for example from Microsoft) are typically tested and warrantied and often cost less than new. Used / marketplace: can be cheaper again, but condition varies — check the seller rating, included accessories, warranty and return policy. The comparison above labels condition where retailers provide it.
How to compare Xbox Series X prices before buying
1) Use the price comparison above to see current listings across major retailers. 2) Match like-for-like — same model (1TB vs 2TB), same condition and the same bundle contents. 3) Factor in shipping, tax and any membership requirement. 4) Verify the final price on the retailer's checkout page, since prices and stock change. Then open the full comparison on Cheapzix for every available store.
Series X vs Series S: which to buy
The two consoles play the same games, so the decision is about your TV and storage needs. The Series X has a 4K Blu-ray drive and is built for 4K TVs, which also means you can buy cheaper physical discs and pre-owned games. The Series S is digital-only, targets 1440p and has a smaller SSD, but it costs around $200 less — a sensible pick for a secondary room or a budget setup paired with Game Pass. If you buy a lot of games at retail, the disc drive on the Series X often pays for itself over time.
Much of the Xbox value story is the subscription rather than the hardware. Game Pass Ultimate bundles a large rotating library plus day-one first-party releases, which can offset the upfront console price if you would otherwise buy several games a year. Weigh that against the PS5, which leans on exclusives, or the Nintendo Switch 2 if portability and first-party Nintendo titles matter more to you.
