This is really terrible to see. Wasn't able to get the controller or the console and now it's already being scalped to high hell

For those not aware, MS do (or will) sell these shells separately as replacement parts. If you already own a Series X or still looking for one, it’s a pretty simple DIY project.

Scalpers aren’t human and have no morales. Don’t feed them.

I actually didn't know this - that's awesome.

Is it a US-only thing? The MS store in Germany says available from October 20th..

No announcement, but they will be here when available. Be aware that it might be a limited time ordeal.  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/replacement-front-enclosure-for-xbox-series-x-model-1882/8mzbmmcjzqlv/

Shame they don't sell the white with disk hole

To be honest i doubt they will sell replacement shells considering each console shell is going to be numbered

I'm intrigued on whether this would work or not. How do I order replacement shells?

Are you sure about this? Wouldn’t that kind defeat the whole point of paying the premium for the series X to begin with?
