After seven long years of speculation, leaks, and theories, Microsoft is finally set to launch the Xbox Series X.
After a flurry of online presentations and digital events we have learnt the design, specs and upcoming games of the Xbox Series X - now there's just a little matter or the price.
Both Microsoft and their competitor Sony kept tight lipped on cost - but we now have confirmation of both the price and pre-order date.
How much will the Xbox Series X cost?
Confirmed: Xbox Series X price is now confirmed at $499, launching 10th November alongside Xbox Series S ($299).

The Xbox Series X will cost £449.99 in the UK, it said, and $499 in the US. It will launch on 10 November, but pre-orders will open on September 22.
Early leaks basically guessed the price and the same leaks guessed the date, so no real shocks here. We hope you have been saving already because that is not far away at all.
A cheaper variant called the Xbox Series S, much like the current Xbox One X and Xbox One S options, has also been confirmed for release on the same day and will come at a cost of £249. One of the key things to note here is that it will not come with a disc drive - so everything will be digital and there will be no option to play blu-rays on it.
If you're after an Xbox Series X bargain, then there's every chance of an Xbox Series X Black Friday deal.
