Walmart recently made a mistake by releasing the new Xbox Series X console early. While it’s common for retailers to break street dates with video games, it’s rare to see hardware released ahead of schedule. The new white Xbox Series X, also known as the “Robot White” edition, was set to be officially released on October 14th, but some lucky customers were able to snag it a few days early thanks to Walmart.
This particular version of the Xbox Series X is the all-digital model, featuring a 1TB SSD and a price tag of $449.99, making it slightly more affordable than the standard version. Despite being available for pre-order since August, the console was inadvertently put on shelves early at certain Walmart locations. One Reddit user shared their find of the console at their local store, sparking excitement among Xbox fans who got an early glimpse of the new design.
Opinions on the new white Xbox Series X are mixed among users who have seen real-life images of the console. Some appreciate the sleek and clean look of the white finish, while others feel that the absence of a disc drive gives it an unusual appearance. Comments on the design range from admiration for its freshness to concerns about the missing disc slot, with some likening it to not having a belly button.
