It’s also the end of the 2 TB model.
XBOX has quietly introduced their Xbox Series X|S price increases in Europe and the UK.
As reported by Video Games Chronicle, these are the price increases in Europe
- Xbox Series S (512GB) – €499.99 (was €349.99)
- Xbox Series S (1TB) – €599.99 (was €399.99)
- Xbox Series X (1TB, Digital) – €749.99 (was €549.99)
- Xbox Series X (1TB, Disc) – €799.99 (was €599.99)
And these are the new prices in the UK
- Xbox Series S (512GB) – £429.99 (was £299.99)
- Xbox Series S (1TB) – £519.99 (was £349.99)
- Xbox Series X (1TB, Digital) – £619.99 (was £449.99)
- Xbox Series X (1TB, Disc) – £669.99 (was £499.99)
XBOX CEO Asha Sharma announced these price increases at the end of June. At the time, she only revealed the US price increases. These price increases have now come live in European countries, but do not represent a new cycle.
This also marks the sunsetting for the Xbox Series X 2 TB model in Europe. Based on both rumors and official statements from tech companies like Samsung and AMD, XBOX is still subsidizing these consoles, and not covering the real costs they incur manufacturing them.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
