Asus ROG Xbox Ally Hits Record Low at $489–$499 Across Major U.S. Retailers

Limited U.S. availability contrasts with higher, inconsistent pricing in the U.K.

Overview

  • The base model drops roughly $100–$110 from its $599.99 launch price, marking the handheld’s lowest recorded price since October.
  • Amazon lists the Ally at $489 with a three‑month Xbox Game Pass Premium voucher, while Best Buy and Walmart show $499 and Target’s price varies by listing.
  • Pure Xbox reports an official $100 U.S. price reduction running to December 20 at select retailers, subject to stock constraints.
  • Availability is uneven, with the Microsoft Store showing sold‑out status even as other retailers continue to advertise the discount.
  • The discounted unit is the entry‑level configuration with AMD’s Ryzen Z2 A chip, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD, with performance broadly compared to the Steam Deck in reviews.
