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

A limited edition green see-through Xbox Series X, celebrating the company's 25th anniversary, is set to release on Black Friday at a price equivalent to the PS5 Pro. According to French website Dealabs and consistent leaker billbil-kun, the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition will be available on November 27th at €899.99, which is £100 more than the standard 1TB Xbox Series X with a disc drive and matches the price of the PS5 Pro in Europe.

The UK price for the PS5 Pro is not confirmed, but it could be around £789.99, making the limited edition Xbox approximately £100 more than the regular Series X. The high cost is attributed to its unique translucent green case and a special Xbox controller with visible internal components. The Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition was unveiled during Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase earlier this summer, but afterwards, the Xbox division underwent significant restructuring, resulting in job losses and affecting game development.

Microsoft also raised the prices of its consoles, including the Xbox Series S and the disc-drive Xbox Series X, due to global memory and storage component shortages caused by the AI datacenter demand for the same materials. Xbox boss Asha Sharma has warned of further price hikes and potential business model changes due to the ongoing component pricing crisis.
