Microsoft has set an $899 price for its special-edition translucent green Xbox marking the console's 25th anniversary, with preorders opening August 27th and a November 13th launch. The unit is essentially an Xbox Series X with 1TB storage, individually laser-etched and numbered, bundled with a matching 'OG Green' controller and a full download of Halo: Campaign Evolved. A separate matching controller is also available to preorder now for $79, launching October 20th.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The steep price tag positions this as a premium collector's item rather than a mainstream console option, reflecting Microsoft's strategy of leaning on nostalgia and limited-edition hardware to boost Xbox brand engagement. It also signals how bundled software and accessories are increasingly used to justify hardware pricing well above standard console rates.
