The Robot White 1 TB Xbox Series S is the follow-up to 2023's Carbon Black Xbox Series S and will retail for $349. The Carbon Black Series S will continue to be available while supplies last.

The 1 TB Digital Edition Xbox Series X in Robot White is the biggest shake-up for the Series console line this holiday season, retailing at $449.

It also offers an alternative colorway to the standard black Series X by being available in Robot White. 

Windows Central has spotted a deal on a standard edition Xbox Series X for just $399 at Best Buy, but the deal is only available for today.

    Why isn't anyone saying anything about a 4TB expansion card after all this time? This is ridiculous. Nobody is calling out MS on this proprietary shit fucking us all out of proper storage expansion.

    Words are words. Get the fuck over it. The fucking forum auto censors and someone is actually whining about too many asterisks in this post. Could you be anymore fucking ridiculous?

    Almost five hundred for a half finished generational console without a disk drive?

    Is there anyone who looks at this and says to themselves - "Oh, boy, fewer features and just as high a price! Just what I've been waiting for!"

    I'm itching to pre-order the 2TB black one. It'll be my new primary. I always end up with at least 2 of each console per generation anyway. I'm sure I'll find something to dual box later on, especially since I'm supposed to finally have fiber by fall.

    PT Barnum was right.

    Wonder if there's enough of your type to keep the XBox division alive.
