Score the latest Xbox gaming handhelds at their best prices ever, now from $470 (Open-box ‘Excellent’ w/ 1-yr. warranty)

Deals on Microsoft’s latest Xbox Ally handhelds have been few and far between – especially for the higher-end Xbox Ally X, which has largely stuck to its $1,000 price tag since launch. If you don’t want to pay the full price for these, Best Buy now has an open-box “Excellent” Xbox Ally X listed at $899.99 shipped. That’s $100 off its usual going rate and the lowest we’ve tracked so far. We’ve seen open-box units hover closer to $950 in the past, but this one dips even further to the $900 mark. Similarly, there’s also an open-box “Excellent” Xbox Ally unit available for $469.99 shipped, undercutting the current sale price of a brand-new unit by $30. These are the best prices we’ve seen on either handheld to date, so be sure to snag them after getting more details below.

The standard Xbox ROG Ally is the more affordable option in the lineup, aimed squarely at casual and first-time handheld gamers. Microsoft says it has no trouble running modern titles thanks to AMD’s Ryzen Z2 processor paired with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The Ally X model, on the other hand, is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor with 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD. They both sport a 7-inch 16:9 FHD IPS touchscreen with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, variable refresh rate support, and 500 nits of brightness. You’ll also find a microSD card slot for expanding storage, along with the same familiar handheld design that makes the Ally line easy to pick up and play.
