After a complete silence on the radio for months, news of the restocking of the Xbox Series X has finally arrived, but it looks like fans will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on the limited edition console. Industry insider Rishi Alwani has tweeted that the Halo Infinite Xbox Series X Limited Edition console will be available during restocking for $740, but it looks like it has been delayed by a month.
The limited edition console was supposed to be available at restock on November 15 along with the standard console options, and we’re hearing from sources that since stock is being shipped by sea, the delay is most likely a result of the recent flooding in Chennai.

Along with the Halo Infinite Limited Edition console, the Xbox Elite Wirless Controller Series 2 – Halo Infinite Limited Edition should be available in stock for $215. Other deals include a $98 Forza Horizon 5 controller. Along with the console’s limited release, the standard X/S series has also been delayed by a month, meaning players will likely be able to get their hands on the next-gen Xbox closer to Christmas than previously expected.
April 2021 was a decidedly good month for the Xbox, as IGN reported that the Series S is actually the best-selling console. Despite the current situation, Xbox has been quite successful in launching this generation of consoles – Forza Horizon 5 has been a clear, standout success, becoming the biggest launch in Series X history, with over 4.5 million active players across PC, Cloud, and Console at launch.
As for Sony, it looks like PS5 restocking is still scheduled for the end of the month, and will hopefully stay that way.
