Gaming Deals

[Aragorn]

The opposite of a gaming deal, Microsoft is jacking up the prices on their existing stuff -- their $500 Series X is going up to $600, their $449 digital Series X is going up to $549, Series S will have similar hikes, some controllers are going up $10 to $20, and some of their first party games are going up to $80. So if you want to get a new Xbox, do it ASAP, I guess.

If they think there are enough rich people out there to support precident-setting $80 Nintendo games and $100 GTA 6 as well as more expensive current-gen consoles, good for them.

It's going to be an interesting time.
