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).

So they just randomly have drips other than the November 22nd one?
Of all retailiers, Walmart is the best at announcing them. I believe there is another today at noon for Walmart + members only. You cannot be a trial member, you must pay for at least 1 month. Just google xbox series X restock and you will find dozens of articles tracking it and as mentioned earlier Walmart's drops seem to always be when they say they will be vs rumors. I have secured 3 Series X from Walmart thus far for myself, family and friends. The last one was via a walmart + drop and though it was a bummer to pay $13 it was by far the easiest. I was signed in, had my payment and shipping information updated, hit refresh 3 seconds before the drop time, and boom, I was told in 10 minutes I would be able to buy one and in 10 mins I was able to buy one.

Do not navigate away from the page, just wait for the timer to expire and you will be all set.

Has anyone sorted out the "We're having trouble processing your payment, and we'd like to get it sorted out." error? I am unable to make the freakin purchase now that the email link finally started working today. What a let down this whole experience has been...

Another option is to go buy $600 in xbox gift cards at costco and save some money on the bundle as well. You can buy $300 worth of the $ cards and $300 worth of the $25 cards for $540 saving you $60.

I have no problem doing that but seems like (per chat rep), MS is flagging accounts incorrectly with already redeemed offer check which is resulting in order not getting processed. Its been nothing but a cluster F***. MS has really dropped the ball on this. I though walmart drop were a disaster but MS take the top spot Frown

I ordered this on Friday 11/26 and it says estimated arrival Jan 4, 2022. For those that ordered an Xbox this way, What was your order date, estimated arrival date and when did you actually receive the console? Trying to determine if this will arrive before Xmas or not.

My console arrives 12/1 and it is still pending. Crazy yours will come 12/22. Congrats on getting a series X
I purchased two consoles three days apart. One will arrive on the 1st and the other arrives on the 22nd. Looks like it's how they've determined the logistics of this particular sale to work.

I was not required to buy the controller. Says optional for me. $518+tax. Not sure if they changed it.

You need to have the marketing emails enabled on your account - there was a thread about that on slickdeals. Buy essentially you logon to Xbox.com and under your profile there is setting for that.
Where is this thread? Can't find it. Any help would be much appreciated

Update - found it. I was already enabled for all options. Still no email. So I unsubscribed thinking I would resubscribe again easily enough and now there is no option to enable again 😖 ugh
