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.

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.
