Price speculation rapidly became a favourite pastime for anybody with a passion for tech, as fans and analysts argued amongst themselves over whether the PS5 would be more expensive than the Xbox Series X.

Now that the consoles are here, you might still be wondering how much it'll cost you to buy one, especially given the Xbox Series X's scarcity. Here's what we know...
Xbox Series X price: How much is the Xbox Series X?
Following the announcement of the Xbox Series S, Xbox announced the price point for its upcoming console range.
However, if you haven't yet bought an Xbox Series X, you might be paying more than the $499/$£449 RRP, with scalpers currently listing the next-gen consoles for much higher prices on eBay.
At the time of writing, we're seeing regular listings for the console at over £1000, although many of these don't have any bids. A more accurate price you'd have to pay on eBay for an Xbox is around the £750-£850 range, with listings below this price racking up tens of bids days before the auction is set to end.
