Less than a month before its market release, the portable ROG Xbox Ally still doesn’t have a confirmed price from ASUS and Microsoft. Its launch is scheduled for October 16th, and everything suggests we’ll know more details in a matter of days.

In the meantime, a new development in the UK has set off alarm bells again. In the Reddit community dedicated to the console, a user shared images of a catalog from retailer Argos featuring the ROG Xbox Ally with a price of £499.99 and a prominent “Reserve now” message.

A leak with curious errors

The material shown is somewhat confusing, as the second image describes the device as “Asus Xbox Rog Ally”, an incorrect name. Additionally, the catalog includes a screenshot of the ROG Xbox Ally X model (the premium version) instead of the standard model being offered. This seems to be a layout error on the part of the retailer, unless it’s a deliberate leak.

What can we expect from the official announcement?

Although global prices have not been confirmed, this £499.99 figure would serve as a reference for the base model in the UK, which would put its European price at around €549-599 depending on taxes and regional adjustments. In the case of Latin America, we’ll have to wait a bit longer to see the strategy ASUS will follow with distribution.

In any case, the leak aligns with rumors suggesting that ASUS and Microsoft plan to reveal official prices this week, something that several users had already hinted at in forums and communities. For now, the only certainty is that the ROG Xbox Ally will launch on October 16th, and if this leak proves accurate, the official announcement shouldn’t be too far behind.
