Xbox 25th Anniversary Series X could cost $900.

Have you ever dreamed of owning a piece of gaming history? Well, Microsoft is celebrating Xbox's 25th anniversary with a special edition Series X that could make your wallet weep. Rumors are swirling that this limited-edition console will cost a hefty $900. It's on the pricey side, but for die-hard fans, it might just be worth it.

According to a new leak from Dealabs, which is generally reliable, this anniversary console is set to launch on November 27. If you're planning to buy one, you'd better start saving about $9 a day from now until then. That's a lot of allowance money needed—but who needs lunch money when you've got a shiny new Xbox?

So, what's the big deal? This special edition costs $100 more than the current Xbox Series X, which boasts a "carbon black" design. That means it falls into the same price range as the PlayStation 5 Pro, which saw a price hike earlier this year. It's not as powerful as Sony's beast, but it does come with a disc drive, so you can still play physical games.

But let's think realistically. Dropping that kind of cash is probably all about the looks. The console and controller feature a translucent green finish that gives you a peek at the internal workings. Plus, Xbox says there are hidden Easter eggs throughout the chassis for owners to discover. How cool is that? It's like a treasure hunt built right into the console.

Internally, it offers 1TB of storage, which is plenty for your game library. In fact, Microsoft discontinued the 2TB model due to rising memory costs, so this is the top option for now. And if you're a collector, you'll be happy to know that an anniversary controller is available separately too. It's packed with nods to Xbox history, from the original design to the final front button colors on the rear bumpers, referencing the black and white buttons of the classic "Duke" controller.

Of course, Sony isn't sitting still. They've released a new special edition PS5 inspired by Marvel's Wolverine, featuring a mustard-yellow design, claw slashes, and killer illustrations by comic artist Jock. It's not as flashy as the Mountain Dew green Xbox, but it definitely turns heads. You can preorder it now, and if you want, you can also buy console covers if you already own a PS5.

So, what do you think? Would you pay $900 for a limited-edition Xbox Series X? Or would you save your cash for something else? Let us know in the comments!
