Not too surprising, eventually it was going to happen with the spending spree Microsoft has been on. Not actually a big jump so that's good.

It's funny how people argued with us about this topic earlier this year.
We knew it would eventually happen, but people were in denial.

They are getting a console that shouldn't even be released for another year. You have to pay a premium to get the pro console early.

Damn someone from another thread was right Microsoft was losing too much money on Series X and artificially slow production until they got close to break even now that they've ramped up production again they've hiked the price. Sorry I couldn't give credit to that user since i forgot who it was but know that you're a scholar.

Phil Spencer Explains Why Microsoft Won't Raise The Price Of A New Xbox
Consumers are already "more economically challenged and uncertain than ever," and Microsoft won't raise Xbox prices right now.

Spencer's statement about raising price has always been perfectly clear.

How is this any different to quite a lot of games this gen going up to $70 USD, exactly?
It's a pretty small price hike, all things considered. An extra $24 a year. I still think GPU is an incredible value at that price point, and I'll keep my sub. Especially when I can grab cards on black friday at deep discount and stack it every year.

Well they said they were losing money before. I can imagine with costs going up and no real redesign they had no choice but to increase it.

This you?And so what begins? Inflation
I'm sure they will, Sony really are sticking it to their loyal customers this generation. Ridiculous first party game prices, charging to upgrade to PS5 version and now increasing a console price 2 years after it was released
So they are going to show how the PS5 is worth more than it was 2 years ago?
Come on, where is that same energy?
You were all over that 33 page thread of outrage. I bet this one won't go nearly as far. Just like the Forza "always online" fizzled like a wet fart and did not balloon like the GT7 one did prior before mods shut it down.

All subscription services go up in price over time. I dont really get why MS get so much shit when they do it and everyone else gets a free pass.
PC Gamepass for example is still cheaper than Ubisofts service,and you only get about 100 games on that, only Ubisoft games too.

Seriously, take your pick with these guys, search "price" along with a username and just sit back and laugh.
