News of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Halo Infinite's delay came as somewhat of a disappointment to Halo f༒ans, as well as Xbox devotees who were looking for a strong Series X launch. However, it looks like Master Chief left an easter egg of sorts that could answer the question on everyone's minds; how much is Xbox Series X going 🎃to cost?

Recently we reported that the Monster Energy drink promotion with Master Chief was going forward, even though the game was being delayed. However, enterprising fans took a closer look at the promotion's fine print and found something very interesting. Among the legalese and rules for the sweepstakes—which include trips to Paris and Series X consoles with copies of Halo Infinite—one can find the "Approxim💧ate Retail Value" of all of tꦚhe prizes.

As points out, it appears that Monster's prizes give a solid clue as to what the Series X is going to cost when it releases this November. Monster is giving away 200 consoles and copies of Halo Infinite as part of the prize pack꧅age. The fine print states that while Microsoft has not announced a price, Monster estimates the approximate value of all 1st place prizes to be $119,998, which is an even $599.99 for each prize. Of course, Monster is🍬 careful to mention that if the price is lower, it will not be awarding the difference to winners.

There are a couple of ways to interpret this, so let's break it all down. The first (and most realistic) is that Monster Energy is slightly overestimating how much this will all cost. The Xbox One launched at $499 and games cost roughly $65, so if this promotion were running in that era, the cost would be $550. Thr🌠ow in a little bit of a buffer for either the game or the console or both, and the $599.99 price tag makes sense. Alternatively, the console is going to🍸 be $599.99 with the game thrown in. The third option is that the game will be $70 and the console will be $529.99.

Regardless ♛of how it all actually breaks down, we know that Monster Energy is pretty confident that the console is going to be at least $500 at launch, but probably not much more than that. We've been hearing for weeks now that there is a discussion about raising the price of games to $70 or more for the next-gen consoles, which Monster  may have taken into account. That being said, this is all based on estimates. Still, it offers an interesting take on what pricing experts think the Xbox Series X will cost.
