Another Xbox Series X placeholder price has surfaced in the wild! This time it's been shared by ex-IGN reporter and popular YouTuber Alanah Pearce, who revealed an image sent to her from an apparent UK retail worker showing the price of the Xbox Series X as £499.99 on their system.
As Alanah pointed out in the video, there's no definitive suggestion that this is the real price - it's likely just a placeholder for now - and the console is even mistakenly listed as an "Xbox One Series X."
For obvious reasons, the person who shared the image reportedly asked to remain anonymous, but Alanah mentioned that it appeared to come from "an actual store", and she cropped the photo in order to make it less identifiable.
And as you might have noticed, located at the bottom of the list is the "Xbox Series X Controller Blue", which up until now has yet to have leaked or been officially revealed. It remains to be seen whether this is the real deal or whether it's simply an inaccurate listing, but it would be nice if it's the former!
Let us know what you think of this leak and the placeholder price in the comments below.

£499 for the Main Series X is what I estimated it to be... I doubt this is genuine but it does fall in line with my price estimates for the new consoles.
Series X and PS5 to be £499, PS5 digital to be £399 and the rumoured Series S to be £349. That's my guess anyhow
That blue Xbox controller looks very similar to the blue Xbox One controller I just got last weekend due to my other one having unbearable drift even after taking it apart and cleaning it four times! Even the color looks the exact same, which I love. Kinda like a royal blue!
It's definitely gonna be 499$
That chair looks sick!
@pip_muzz I think £350 for an XSS would be a good price, and would make the XSS the most tempting console for the majority of gamers, but only if it has a disc drive.
If this is the price I’ll be getting the PS5 Digital edition. I have a PS4 and Xbox so will get which ever of the new ones is cheaper as a gift. But I think this could be a place holder.
$499 will probably be the price of the XSX & PS5. These two companies need to stop playing “chicken” & just announce the prices already.
Last week the same person leaked series x was going to be 599, I'll believe the price when Microsoft releases it.
If that is the actual photo of the supposed controller it is fake. It lacks a share button that the Series X controllers have.
Just to clear up, the controller in the thumbnail is a blue Xbox One controller just for design purposes - no leaked images have been shared.
@KelticDevil I really wonder how poor electronics stores are going to handle Holiday 2020:
This Holiday, gift your family with what they really want with the latest gaming from Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo! Get the most powerful console ever created (probably...we don't actually know how powerful it really is but the guy who told us he felt really good about Halo: Infinite Development Cycle told us it is, and we believe him), for an undisclosed price! Looking for budget gaming? Treat your family to the new XBox
OneSeries S. (Assuming it exists, and we're not saying it does, but if it does, we assure you it's probably a good value....though we can't tell you how much it costs....or what it does....or even that it exists....which it might not.) Need more storage? Try these XBox Series accessories, like additional SSD storage modules in unknown sizes for unknown prices!Have a Playstation fan in your life? Make their Holidays bright with the all new Playstation 5! We know it's coming for Holiday. Sony keeps saying so in a kind of worried way. But we're not at all put off by statements like "really guys, I know it's not looking good, but our launch target is definitely Holiday 2020. That's definitely the plan we're aiming for, and it will almost certainly definitely happen! We're committed to it! I know we didn't actually give you those specs we told you we'd give you 2 months ago...and haven't said much about storage costs. But it's all good." So you should definitely feel mostly confident planning to buy that PS5 or PS5 Discless for your loved ones this holiday at an unknown price it's possible you might be able to afford (or not, which is totally cool too!)
Do you love aimlessly building things amidst talking animals in a shallow Minecraft clone that's not really a charming life simulator like all the previous games in the series? Nintendo's got you covered. Buy your family some Christmas cheer with a new Nintendo Switch. Which may or may not be obsolete come February when the new model that was supposed to be out in December will probably be announced for a March release! It may or may not be a whole new platform that runs all different games, and makes you wish you hadn't just bought that other model months before, but you can feel good about your purchase because you remember those dozen really cool games you missed out on because you're not a total sucker and didn't get conned into buying a WiiU? Well you can take all those games home TODAY, and play them on a brand new not yet officially obsolete Nintendo Switch!
Oh fudge it, we have no $$@ing idea WTF the video game companies are even trying to sell this year, or if they're even going to be selling them at all. Take a look at the latest refrigerators from brands you trust, like Samsung, LG, and Whirlpool!
It's just a placeholder price, the console will get the same price in dollars without taxes and euros with taxes, so £449 would be more likely in UK and a rounded price in dollars and euros, such as €500 (or €499.99 if you prefer the lying prices).
@NEStalgia
Haha! Well done.
I don't care about any of these rumors, most these stores have placeholder prices all over the place.
Still click and comment because I like this site and want it to prosper 😅
If that price is true. MS are in serious trouble if the rumored price of the PS5 Digital Edition is £399.99.
It's OK saying they could have Series S at a cheaper price than that, but it's not the same specs.
I'd much rather a cheaper Series X Digital Edition.
