In order to ensure the most stable supply possible, Microsoft is now trying to meet the rising demand from users with an official refurbished Xbox Series X console.

Microsoft has now listed “certified” refurbished Xbox Series X game consoles in the US store, priced at $469.99, which is $30 cheaper than the original price, and it may take a while for national bank users to see.

Moreover, Microsoft also has a rule that every purchaser of a refurbished Xbox console must also purchase at least one digital game. At present, Microsoft offers about a dozen Xbox game works to choose from, the cheapest of which is the “Monopoly” + “Crazy Monopoly” combo package, which requires at least an extra $27.49.

Furthermore, when you add the console and the game to the shopping cart, you will find that Microsoft also requires you to buy an Xbox controller. In order to achieve the lowest price, including the $54.99 of the ordinary white Xbox wireless handle, that is a total of $552.47 which is not unacceptable, but this is too long.

Of course, Microsoft offers free home shipping anywhere in the US, so the final price is pretty close to third-party sellers on eBay, but Microsoft’s bundle also includes a controller and your favorite games, so the total it still looks good.

According to reports, the refurbished consoles have been screened, repaired, tested, and cleaned by Microsoft to fully meet the listing standards, and Microsoft will also provide a normal 12-month warranty. In order to combat scalpers and profiteers, Microsoft also said that each customer can only buy one game console at most.
