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).

Are these hard to get or something? I got an Xbox Series X in like 3 days. I just signed up for Xbox All Access, got approved that night (credit check) and 2 days later or so I had the Xbox at my house. I guess I did have to commit to a year of game pass ultimate as well, but I wanted that anyway.

Yes, because not everyone wants their credit pulled/score impacted and sign up for a 2 year payment plan

All access is a bad deal when you could get 3 years of ultimate for under $100.

Dude, you are paying full price for Gamepass. Why give MS their asking price? With the gold to GPU conversion, you could get three years for as little $100 to $180. It's your money.....

All-access you are overpaying for the Series X as well, in the end.

go to reddit or do a google search for:

A comprehensive guide on how to get Game Pass Ultimate for the same price as Xbox Live Gold

That guide breaks it down and apparently it still works. Sort by new posts

https://slickdeals.net/f/15418705-conversion-deal-3yrs-of-xbox-game-pass-ultimate-for-under-3-mo-instant-e-delivery-vpn-needed-89-99?src=rcm_category_h

The $90 to $100 for 3 years involve VPN. If you're uncomfortable with VPN, the $180 might be the safer choice. I was very nervous using the VPN and not knowing if the method will work. MS accepted the Turkish codes and I was able to redeem the conversion in the US site. If I had the money, I would have happily spent the $180, but I need the $90 for an external drive....

So I received the game code (Madden) and controller arrived today; the console is showing pending with estimate delivery date 1/4/22. I ordered on Black Friday. Any chance the console will arrive prior to 1/4/22 (meaning did anyone else have their console arrive before their delivery dates)?

Does the console show OOS right now for anyone? Just curious l already ordered mine last week and since they allow two per 30 days so went back to check but it showed OOS for the console. It was in stock earlier today.

Yep! They charged me the correct amount (total minus gift card) listed in the email and then once it shipped, the pending correct amount dropped and I got hit with the full amount. MS support couldn't figure out what happened so now I have a case open waiting to hear back. I'm hoping I don't have to get my bank involved…
Hey did they resolve this for you? My Xbox just now shipped and it appears that they may be trying to do the same thing.

If anyone is still looking on how to enable the Marketing email -
Not sure if doing this now will cause an email to buy but worth a try...

To adjust this, go to Contact Preferences on your Xbox account.

On PC and mobile browsers, you can follow these steps:

Got to Xbox.com
Click on "Sign In" in the upper right corner and log into your account
Once logged in, click on your account name on the upper right corner
Click on the three dots (…) for "More Options"
Click on "Xbox Settings"
Mobile exclusive step: Once the Xbox Settings page loads, you will see a small text link that says "Xbox settings" on the upper left corner. Tap this link and continue with the next steps.
Click on "Contact Preferences"
Make sure both Xbox Newsletter / Marketing and Partner Marketing are selected
Click "Save"
Thank you. Couldn't figure this out. Neither were checked for me. Hopefully I get an email sometime soon. Not holding my breath tho
