Description:
The new Xbox handheld, developed by Asus, could finally have a price - less

FULL STORY
======================================================================The 
ASUS ROG Xbox Ally handheld consoles are launching on October 16, but neither 
has a price yet One Best Buy store has seemingly confirmed it'll start at 
$549.99, with the more powerful Ally X reaching $899.99 The prices remain 
unconfirmed for now 

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally is coming later this year, but despite expectations 
that Microsoft would reveal preorder information at Gamescom, pricing has 
remained a mystery thus far. 

Now, one YouTuber has called his local Best Buy and seemingly has 
confirmation that the base version will retail for $549.99, while the Ally X 
will set hardcore gamers back $899.99. 

This comes from Destin Legarie, a former IGN staffer who discussed the new 
handheld PCs (set to rival Valves Steam Deck and other similar products) with 
the store. 

As per Legarie, the Xbox-branded ROG Ally X will get demo stations at Best 
Buy stores in the coming weeks, while providing images for the report in the 
video above. 

Youll see a close-up of the $899.99 cost of the ROG Ally X, too. Its curious 
that the console is available in less than a month (it debuts on October 16), 
but we still dont have pricing. Naturally, until its confirmed by Microsoft, 
its worth keeping in mind that the price could be incorrect, or hasnt yet 
been set in stone. 

As a big fan of my Steam Deck OLED, Im curious to see if Microsoft and Asus' 
new handhelds promise of multiple storefronts is as pain-free as both claim. 

You can install just about anything on Steam Deck, for example, but it gets a 
little clunky to switch between them. On the other hand, Windows is, well, 
Windows on the likes of the non-Xbox-branded Asus ROG Ally, making it easy to 
install just about anything, but navigating Windows can be a chore on a 
handheld. 

 Early benchmarks are positive , too, with the new Ally X seemingly doing a 
good job of managing battery life and cooling. You might also like...
