Aaaaaaand here’s the specs:

All of this, for $299. Even if Sony lowballs the PS5 price point (which they won’t), Microsoft is almost guaranteeing their console a place in gamers’ homes this Fall. $299 is an INSANE price point, so now the folks who want a PS5 on day 1 now have a budget-friendly option to ensure they don’t miss out on any Xbox exclusives.

The Xbox Series S is rumored currently to release on November 10th, and we have no official word yet on the Xbox Series X – though it’s currently rumored to launch alongside its little brother at $499.

Stay tuned for more.
