Another Xbox Series X leak occurred previously few days from an unlikely supply that will have revealed the worth of Xbox’s next-gen console. This newest leak comes from a Pringles promotion the place folks in South Africa have the possibility of successful an Xbox Series X after the console is launched in November. Some math and assumptions are required to issue out the worth primarily based on what’s proven within the promotion, but when all the things performs out the way in which it looks as if it can, the Xbox Series X can be an costly machine.
The Pringles promotion was noticed by Twitter user Cavie who referenced a submit on the Pringles Facebook page directed at residents of South Africa. The promotion’s centered round Xbox merchandise like Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and the Xbox Series X.
In the breakdown of the prizes and the way in which they’ll be distributed, the variety of prizes and the estimated worth of the overall prizes concerned within the promotion are proven. These are the important thing components of the promotion that offers a touch at how a lot the Xbox Series X will price.
Looks like Pringles, of all manufacturers, broke the Xbox Series X value for South Africa. If my maths checks out, this places the XSX at round R13,5K regionally? Unsure if that is excluding tax. https://t.co/luosSEa8Qi pic.twitter.com/UsDe2tfcAB

With 46 completely different Xbox Series X consoles valued at a complete of R621,000, that comes out to R13,500 for every console. Converting that to USD provides you with a whopping $800, however that doesn’t appear to be the probably value for the console.
Critical Hit identified that whenever you convert the worth from Rands to Pounds, it comes out to simply over £600. Given how these values have traditionally lined up with the USD costs, a $599 price ticket on the console doesn’t appear unlikely.
That potential value for the Xbox Series X isn’t far off from what many individuals had been anticipating in previous estimations after taking the console’s energy and parts into consideration. It’s additionally not the primary time that we’ve seen that quantity probably leaked by way of promotions. A Monster Energy sweepstakes provided comparable prizes by giving freely Xbox Series X consoles and copies of Halo Infinite, and after you calculate the overall prize worth by what number of are being given away, it once more comes out to round $599 whole.
Neither Microsoft nor Sony have introduced their costs for the next-gen consoles but, so we’re left to promotions like this to determine what the costs is likely to be. That’ll hopefully change quickly although with each consoles releasing a while throughout the holidays.
