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).

Not sure why some are asking for the link to be shared. Someone can correct me if I am wrong but l believe the link is unique and tied to your account so even if it's shared you will be forced to enter the password of the account holder which obviously cannot be shared. I get the frustration some folks did not get the email but just wanted to clarify the link sharing and hope this one doesn't turn into another typical SD begging thread.
You are correct; the link is tied to your account. You are able to purchase 2 bundles in a 30 day window (have to be in separate orders)

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
I hear your pain, I am in the same boat.. Nothing seems to work I think it's Msft not knowing how to deal with some of us who might be on legacy accounts of some sort.

I would advise against this until you receive the controller and console, to avoid getting your order potentially canceled.
I received my controller a couple of days ago.I did game refund lastnight.And got email this morning that my Xbox shipped.Should be here 12/1..

What did you say?
That I already owned GTA 5 (who doesn't) and I would rather spend the money on Valhalla or something

Almost fell for their marketing. Not paying 600 for a year old console, no thank you
I mean, you're most likely going to buy another controller anyways, so really you are just paying $15-$30 extra for a game you don't want.

Is the game digital? And is it tied to the XB account used or is it a code that can be gifted and redeemed by others?

I was able to build another bundle with 2nd link.According to email I think your allowed 2 consoles per month.
Does the email go to your email setup with your Microsoft account? Or does it go to the one you signed up for the newsletter?

If someone has to share their link they have to share their account password, their personal info like billing address, saved payment options, etc., It's like you sharing your Amazon acct to some random stranger on the Internet.

Links are tied to the specific MS account. But I can order you one, just give me your address and credit card info Wink
