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

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/consol...x-series-x

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).

Microsoft has some big problems with this e-mail campaign. I received an e-mail on the 19th and clicked on the link within 2 minutes of receiving the e-mail. It redirects me to a page saying not found or something is wrong. I received another e-mail today and the same thing happened. It is so annoying, I wish they would fix their site so that I could at least purchase one unit. Anyone else have this happening to them as well?
I also received 2 emails and am unable to buy. It is really making me angry. Total BS

I saw the email today and was able to order one. The estimated delivery date was 12/22 when I placed the order. But when I logged in to manage the order it says 12/27. I spoke to cusotomer service. They said it could be delivered earlier, but its a gamble. I also verifed that you can order two bundles, but you have to place them separately using the link. You cannot order them at the same time. It requires two different transactions and you can only order to every 30 days. Thats what customer service told me.


"Thank you for waiting. I checked and using the same link, the limit is one bundle per order, and two bundles per 30-day period."
Well isn't that sweet. I can't get one yet they are letting people order 2. Again what total BS

If you try to do a refund on the website it only allows you to cancel the whole bundle. Not individual items.
Not cancel items. Wait til you receive items.Then do return.I think it's free returns during holidays.So just return controller. That's what I'm gonna try to do..

Deleted the email, but thinking about it I kind of want it now. Any recourse, maybe by contacting Microsoft customer service?

I see MS turned into GameStop. $220 for a game and a controller on top of a $500 console? What game and controller are these? What a slick deal. And people are rushing to sign up. Are you guys out of your minds?

Thanks guys, I got the bundle and added GTA V but couldn't change it to MK11. Anyhow, wasn't expecting to buy this as I just ordered a new PC, but with it not shipping until Jan and I want to start playing during the holidays, I may cancel the PC and enjoy XboneX instead because based on comparisons this box gfx output is similar to a RTX 3080 (almost) or at least a 3070.

I heard about this on Monday and I set my Xbox account up to receive marketing emails. Within 3 hours I had received the email, however an hour had passed before I saw it. I tried the link a few times and no luck. 4 hours later I tried the link again from the same email and I was able to build my bundle and purchase. As a side note for those that chase rewards points... I cashed in my rewards points for 5 $100 gift cards for the Microsoft store and was able to apply them to the purchase. Estimated delivery date is 12/1.

For those who have not had any luck, I highly recommend checking the link regularly throughout the day.

This link explains in detail how to set your account up to be able to receive the email: https://gamingintel.com/how-to-ge...ite-email/

my guess is that the email campaign was to get around the bots that were ruining the buying experience. but after a few days, the bots have caught up...

All they are asking is a $50 controler and a $20 digital game right now so this is no GameStop mega bundle. Can't complain
