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 paid 30 for gta 5 and 65 for controller. I then contacted support last night and got price adjustment for 15 off controller and game. Was pretty hassle free especially at like 1am.

Have you received the controller already? They told me I have to wait till it is delivered before they can price match.

I called support as well. I've received the digital game in my library (Diablo II: Resurrection, $39.99) and the controller shipped (Robot White, $59.99) but the console has yet to ship. I asked for a simple adjustment of $10.00 back for the game and another $10.00 for the controller as literally 8 hours after my order they went on sale.

I was given a bit of a run around that an adjustment can't be made until the controller is shown as received by me for BOTH the game and controller. So, while very kind, the customer service representative set up a follow up call for Tuesday next week (11/30/21) to finish the adjustments on the items.

One note, I did tell her I was disappointed in the game selection as I tried to add GTA V, but it is already in my One X library, so I had to select a game I didn't want. She said she'll attempt to refund me the full price for Diablo II: Resurrection or she'll attempt to change to another game. I mentioned MK 11 as it is $17.99.

Fingers crossed. I need to chill, I know, as I'm getting a great console and I've got Game Pass so I'm excited, but the sting of this bundle does kinda get to me.

Well for some of us it never worked. While others bought 2. I am so tired of this BS from PlayStation and XBOX. Drop 5 here 2 there allow people to buy more then 1. Different retailers charging for the PRIVILEGE to possibly maybe get one etc etc etc. I am not buying any ever again. It will all be streaming box free gaming sooner then later anyway. Meantime PC all the way.

Will wait for the process to drop 20%. Yes yes I know the series X is not even available right now. But prices are going to drop sooner than most think.
ahhhahahahahahahahaha. What reality do you live in. We are in a global tech shortage. People are settling for consoles since PC GPU's are significantly even harder to get. Hence consoles won't go on sale any time soon.

I got the email on 11/24 and ordered on 11/25. I redeemed a MS Rewards $100 credit, so I paid $500 and change on my credit card. Last year I think I signed up for a 'tell me when this is in stock' link so maybe that's why I got the email.

The delivery date is 12/27, but my daughter can handle that.

Thanks for the post!!!
