A special copy of the Xbox Series X, autographed by Xbox head Phil Spencer, has appeared on eBay, listing for over $2800. The Xbox Series X is an incredibly difficult console to secure with scalpers driving up the cost into the thousands.

Microsoft's $500 console already has a tall asking price but the demand is there. Over the last few months, the Xbox Series X has repeatedly sold out in seconds across various retailers upon restocks. Microsoft has boasted that the Series X is the most powerful console on the market and is capable of 4K/120FPS. Its value is furthered even more by things like Xbox Game Pass which offers an extensive library of incredible games for a cheap subscription.

The Xbox Series X may be hard to get right now but if one is willing to throw a few thousand dollars, they can snag one for a good cause. Phil Spencer has autographed an Xbox Series X with his signature and his Xbox Gamertag, P3, making it a one of a kind console. The console has been listed on eBay (via GameRant) and the highest bid currently puts it at $2,800. The bidding will end on Tuesday, February 2nd at 7:00pm ET. All money will go toward the New York Video Game Critics Circle non-profit.

The organization helps advocate for games writers (including freelancers) and also helps less fortunate people learn about gaming. This ranges from paid internships for young game writers to visiting homeless shelters for children as well as hosting panels about the games industry at New York public libraries. Spencer noted on Twitter that it was a "great cause" and was happy to help contribute. It's a much better way to buy an Xbox than through a scalper, but the customer must be willing to throw a lot of cash down for the console.

Given Phil Spencer is one of the most beloved faces in gaming, this would make a great addition to any Xbox fan's collection. The popular executive helped save the Xbox One from certain doom when he became Head of Xbox early in the generation. He helped usher in changes that have ultimately shaped gaming for the last few years with Xbox Game Pass, supporting cross-play and much more. With a new generation underway, it's highly likely Spencer will continue to push Xbox forward as well as gaming.
