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).

No email for me or any of my sons. Thanks microblah..... I haven't been able to locate on of these units for since summer. No stores here have them
Just called the 877 and still nothing they can do. Some bs all the money and systems we own and we all got skipped. Not looking like we will get an X around here sadly.

I got an invite. I did not purchase one until 10pm est on 11/26/2021 and my ship date isn't until January 4th. So basically they are being guaranteed certain stock amounts through certain dates and just selling you those spots. You are backordering it. Just letting people know how it seems to be working.

I was able to get my digital game that was part of this bundle refunded (GTA) by going to the XBOX support page and choosing the digital agent chat.

I typed "game refund" and it had me log in to my account and then showed the game. I clicked on it and chose "Billing error" and then for a reason "charged the wrong amount".

It said I'd get an email in 72 hours but about 2 minutes later I got the refund notification in my email and it was done!

May it go well for you! 😉

Maybe a blessing in disguise but I went through hell and keep getting a error message so I just can't order one.

I've gotten quite a few of these, but the link never works. I hope someone gets one or two.
I was with a rep. Tried a lot. Even installed chrome browser incognito. Sales rep said will defer to higher ups. I keep getting that "its not you its me" message or something like that. And some gibberish. Point is the link didn't work for safari, chrome, firefox, and sadly microsoft edge.

Let us know if it works for you. I want to ask for a refund on the game too but waiting until the console ships first.
Just buy mortal kombat for $17 and think of it as a convenience fee

I'm about the Xbox life but I haven't seen any game that would compel me to switch. A bought the X back in 2018 to play red dead. Unless you want to spoil your kid I wouldn't stress getting this or the ps5.

their emailed link has never worked, goes to a page not found error, idk how ppl r building bundles with their link either

contacted MS on twitter and got no reseponse, chat support didn't know what i was talking about.


my 1 month of wm+ ends in 2 days, i was never able to get a console during a drop, and I load the moment it goes live, the timer would go down to 0 minutes and hang there until it went oos instead of allowing me to add to cart & checkout...like 30 mins later wm would say i have 10 minutes to check out but its already oos smh.


did they fix the link so the 2nd email's link was similar to ur 1st link? or was the 2nd link totally different than ur 1st link?
I wonder if we can self-fix our own nonworking link, if we only knew what was wrong with our original link coz none of the MS ppl I've talked to were helpful.


if it was truly oos, it would let u build the bundle and then say its oos I think coz ppl earlier say they don't see its oos until after building it? I cant even build the bundle, says the page could not be found. I keep getting stupid reps too lol.


i already copied and used url decoder and coverted it, doesn't work ever since 11/19, no idea what is wrong with the broken links from 11/19. MS is of no help, all I've figured out is the OCID part is messed up but MS refuses to let me know how to fix it or what's wrong with my link


first part is the same for everybody https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d...X3PM?ocid= its the end that is personalized



same here tho my link is from Friday

can u compare the 2 links to see what's different?


only way u could use their link is if they gave u the login/password for their acct to order under their acct coz the links are personalized to work only with said acct
You're 'The Best' man! Thanks a ton for sharing that link. Using that I just ordered mine...but, well...it's gonna arrive in Jan, but still, there's hope!

Thanks again!

Thank you, OP. I found the email and was able to successfully submit an order. Haven't gotten a confirmation email or anything yet, but the page did take my payment info and confirm the order so looks promising.
