    Microsoft is increasing its Xbox Series X prices in most countries in August apart from the US, Japan, Chile, Brazil, and Colombia.

    Damn living in Canada! Why does the US always get spared from these things??

    Xbox Series S pricing will not be adjusted in any market

    At least the entry level console will still be cheap

      I hear ya. I’m still adjusting to paying over $100 Canadian for a new game 💸💸💸. At least on the switch I can set my province to Alberta to save some taxes.

    Heads up for my Canadian compatriots: CDKeys has CAD $12.79 3-Month Gold subscriptions up for sale, which redeem for 50 days of Gamepass Ultimate, if you’re already subscribed. (it automatically adds up 50 days to your existing membership when you redeem)

    I just tried for two passes (100 days) and it worked flawlessly.
