Scalpers sell ROG Xbox Ally X preorders for as much as $2,500 even though they are still in stock — stay away from eBay and buy from retailers

Scalpers are selling preorders for the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X for up to $2,500 on eBay, despite the standard price being $999. To avoid overpaying, it's recommended to purchase from retailers like Best Buy where preorders are still available at the original price. The new ROG Xbox Ally X features upgrades such as ergonomic handgrips, faster memory, and Xbox Series-style Impulse Triggers with haptic feedback, powered by the top-end AMD Ryzen Z2 series chip. For those seeking premium handheld performance, systems based on the AMD Ryzen AI Max 300 family offer features like OLED screens and console-like performance, albeit at a higher price point.
