This would've been $350 had it been any other generation. And I'd have probably gotten one at $350.

Same here. This is probably the first Xbox product that has appealed to me in several years. But at $900 for a system I already purchased at $500, it's a joke. It's actually cheaper to buy the original limited edition Xbox that this is based on.

Just hold out for the third party knockoff console shells, assuming they don't already exist for this color since it's just a remake/reference to a previous special edition.

I have a launch edition Series X. $900 is way too much for a transparent green shell for a console I already own.

Now, if they have a loyalty program that lets me buy just the plastic shell and controller only so I can put my own console into the shell for like $100 with proof of GamerTag? Sold without a second thought.
