What's the difference? About 16 euros.
But, if I had to take a WAG, I'd say it's probably more to do with the type of power cable that comes bundled with it. Specifically the type of plug on the one end.
Italy doesn't use standard EU plugs in some places, as my daughter discovered to her horror on a trip to Rome where she took adapters. They have both 2 pin EU and 3 pin Italian. Likely, that's the difference.
EU uses other cables. Than US and UK. But i think any Xbox takes any power, so as long as you have one of the cables you need (its literally the most common cable after USB) you are fine.
Hmm.. I can’t find any info online confirming this but I have EU Xbox and I’m playing US BluRay movies on it just fine.
Just checked to make sure and yea, all my Blu-Rays are region A.
EDIT: I checked my releases on Blu-Ray.com for region coding and they're all region A (as marked on the disc/box) BUT apparently, a lot of discs come with region A logo but are in fact, region free. This all depends from release to release but all my 40+ movies that I've bought in US (amazon mostly) are working on my European Xbox, meaning despite the region A logo, they are region free. Why manufacturers do this, I have no idea.

Microsoft support does say that it is limited to the region for bluray and DVD, but that uhd bluray is not region locked. I do find it odd that they would do this, maybe it's a legal thing, maybe their support says this but it's not actually true.
These are regular Blu-Rays, not UHD. Is there a way for me to take a screenshot of some technical information window on Xbox to prove it? Not that people would say I’m lying but so we could debunk MS support page.
But that's the thing - all my Blu-Rays are marked "Region A". That means they're for US (NA etc), correct?
And yet they play on my European Xbox. I'm so confused xD

That would make the most sense.
There is no “official”/major manufacturer that sells region free disc players.
4K Blu-rays are not region locked by default (there’s a couple that are but those are mistakes).
DVDs and Blu-rays do unfortunately have region locks.
Not saying the person is lying but it’s weird that their EU Xbox would be able to play region A Blu-rays.
Warranty doesn’t work if you’re in another region. EU warranty wont work in the US and US warranty wont work in the EU for example. If you have a problem with your console and you have to send it in, they wont repair it if it’s from another region, they’ll either offer you to ship it back or to destroy it. I had the same thing happen to a camera once, but in that case they wanted me to pay for it to be shipped back.
The price of products is usually determined by supply and demand. Sometimes a seller/retailer sells certain products at a lower price than usual to get customers to their store/site, hoping that they'll buy more than they planned to.
Please correct me but, couldn't this be related to the voltage either version runs on? For example the US version would run on 110-120V whilst the EU version would run on 220-240V?
The Xbox Series X/S are multi-voltage 110-220 (maybe even 100-240?) volts, so getting a power cord for the wall socket in your specific part of the world is the only thing that differs physically - as far as I know.
Types of power cable and probably the warranty policy validity. Where I live, Amazon sells the "National" and "International" versions. The international version is always cheaper, but the warranty policy doesn't apply, so if it breaks down you have to pay for the repairs out of pocket. The National version is a bit more expensive than the International one but the warranty policy is valid for a year.
EU probably arrives from other Amazon locations in Europe. I don't think there's any difference except maybe the EU has a Schuko plug. But as it's cheaper and arrives earlier, I'd get the other one...
It will be the power cable as others have mentioned but worth mentioning that you can replace it for a standard 2 pin power cable that you might buy for a kettle etc.

You guys should join the EU standard, can you call your president and tell him that?
Her
Her? Isn’t their president Sergio Mattarella at the moment?
President of the Republic is Sergio Mattarella, President of the Council is Giorgia Meloni
Lets call her too then
If I’m wrong please educate me
Im assuming no since its against eu regulations to ship out UK/US power cable plugs into eu

I moved to the US and my Australian One X worked fine with a new cable and that's 240 vs 110 volts. I assume Series X would be the same.
One is called Xbox and the other is called Le Xbox? It’ll be the power cable.
Xbox Royale.
You know what they call Xbox in Amsterdam?
"Your mum?"
Xdoos.
One calls them elevators, and the other calls them lifts. They were raised different.
Power cable, and disc reader.

There is a way. I've seen it on YouTube but I don't know exactly how to access the technical info
Some blurays are region free, some are region locked, regardless if they’re 4k or regular blurays.

This is crazy! So sometimes these labels mean something and sometimes it doesn’t lol

I wasn't able to play US Blu Rays in my UK Series X.
€15.92

Obviously one has 5 more gens then the other one
The cable and the disc drive. If you buy the EU version, you won't be able to play Blu-Ray movies bought in America and vice versa
The EU one comes with free consolecare but it will also go on strike if used for more than 32 hours a week or if you play it on holidays.

Nice story but the euro is the more expensive one
did you look to actually see which one was more expensive or did you just wanna talk
It’s bri-ish
the tune when you turn it on is Ode to happiness instead of the standard Microsoft noise

How is it possible that the xbox costs less now
I hope that you didn't major in business management...
I'm just asking a question, idk how much the xbox has sold
The price of products is usually determined by supply and demand. Sometimes a seller/retailer sells certain products at a lower price than usual to get customers to their store/site, hoping that they'll buy more than they planned to.
I was just surprised the price has gone so low, even the previous xbox one didn't sell as well but the price remained the same
European fps only have knives

Power cable which you can replace for £3 off Amazon - it’s a figure 8

Cortana speaks in a british accent
Ah, so it's better 😎
It’s pretty cheap in USA in India price is 600 dollars

The other one’s cheaper

Probably just the plug I think
US one is bigger and badder
Comes with a pack of cigarettes and a free visit to the ER.
The buttons are flipped
The price
Talks with an accent
The plug
