Deal Details
Just got an email from Microsoft inviting me to buy the XBox X available in limited quantities on Microsoft Online Store.

You have to bundle a game and a controller and it all came out to $720.
I was able to buy one for the delivery date of 12/22

Check for any emails from Microsoft Store (possibly the junk/spam folder if you have been deleting them)

==Addendum==
- How do you get the above email in the first place?
No definitive answer. I believe I got the email because I made a purchase in the past from the Microsoft Store (and somehow opted in to receving their promotional emails).

I'm gonna try and get my GTA 5 refunded once I get the console. Terrible game selection for a forced bundle purchase. Not expecting the refund, but who knows.
I also got that game,cause it was cheapest,and hoping to do the same,return the game.I'm also going to try to return extra controller,once I receive my console..I should be able to return since each item was billed separately.

I was charged $30 for GTA yesterday. It's on sale for $15 in the black Friday sale. I asked for a price match and they just refunded the game (it was taken out of my digital library as well). FYI, from my experience

I got the email, but all I want is the console don't care for any of the games or adding a controller. I went through the checkout process and delivery date is 12/22. I've got other Xmas shopping to do don't want to drop $600 plus ATM. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Good to know, thank you for sharing.

It was one of our kids who got the invite email, which required us to order it under the child account. Since the game selection was meh, I was trying to keep it cheap and select GTA, but it wouldn't let us because it was a child account. We ended up having to do the much more expensive Hasbro Game Night for $60.

I'm gonna wait until the console ships and then see if MS will either price match or refund the Hasbro game. Overall I thought the game selection was weak, with only about 10 titles and nothing really exciting. Plus, it's digital and added to the account immediately, so there's no way to gift it or sell it.

You might have been able to temporarily lift age restriction to add GTA, then lower it afterward.

Do you have to be in the Insider program? I'm signed up for promo emails, but not sure what else might work/be needed. Also, do you need Gold? I hate that they never tell people what you need to do and how they're going about this. Is it random or systematic somehow?

MS needs to start picking things up. I'm seeing PS5s drop 2-3x more often. Amazon restocked PS5 yesterday and a ton of people got one because it lasted quite a while (relatively speaking), but when XSX dropped today it was just like it always is, which is to say it bugged out and was gone in seconds. MS has a more compelling ecosystem to me, but Sony is crushing them in getting consoles out, it seems. I dunno if this is because they have the S or what, but it's getting old just how pathetic MS and these retailers are handling this.

And screw these friggin bundles. GS with two games and hardware I don't want. Best Buy needing Total Tech and Walmart needing Walmart+ paid subscriptions to even get a chance to try (and Amazon apparently needing Prime now). It's a shit show all around. All they really need to do is open a pre-order wait list with some anti bot measures. Why some of the largest tech companies in the world can't figure this out is just mind blowing.

EDIT: I should add, today was Amazon's first regular XSX drop since June or July and it was crap compared to PS5 yesterday, so they maybe had like five consoles. Ugh.
