Of course my old original link that I actually use for XBOX works now, but out of stock...

Fortunately I had a family account that also got the link.and was able to order two Series X. Two digital games are a wash though.since I don't use that family account for XBox. Frown

Shit, I ordered mk11 as a game thinking I could sell it but didn't realize that it was digital and that I already had it in my microsoft account. Think they let me pick a different game? if so how should I contact them?

Did you get refund with this method or is it a just a hope?

:

For those that placed an order but were then denied a refund on the game via phone, chat, or the automated "request refund" button, follow these steps:

Go here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/he...und-orders
Click "Why don't I see my purchase in the list?" (note that I already tried and was denied the automated refund request and is no longer shown under the "Request availability" tab.)
Click "I don't see a purchase in my order history"
Scroll to the bottom and click "None of the above apply, but I still can't find my order"
Click "Request a refund"
Fill out the form with the name of the game you purchased and your order number, along with whatever reason you think best fits. I chose "Accidental purchase" and "Already own all or part of the content", and repeated the same in the additional details box.
Click submit.
Cross fingers.
Venmo 10% of your refund to @jmanjust once it's approved.
Profit.

I have followed all the steps to get the email and have never received any. Checked all junk folders.

I received the refund confirmation this morning, so I can confirm that it worked for me and took roughly 24 hours from the time I clicked submit to when the refund email showed up.

So my link now works after checking all weekend, but the series x is now sold out :/ am I screwed? Or should I keep refreshing and hope it comes back?

After a 5 day odyssey starting the Friday before Thanksgiving when I first got the email invite that included the "Something went wrong on our side" error and chatting with 5 different reps over 5 different days and hear 5 different stories I came here and saw the suggestion that I needed to empty my cart. This worked. When I first tried ordering on 11/19 my credit card flagged the charge as fraud so the cart stayed full and the errors started. The problem now is that my estimated delivery is 12/27 and this is a Christmas present for my kid and what really gets me is if I could have ordered before 11/25 or if any of the reps had been able to help instead of waste my time I probably would have gotten it before Christmas.

I wound up getting 2 PS5's from Walmart's drop yesterday but the Xbox was sold out pretty much immediately when I got "in line" even though I refreshed repeatedly before noon and right at noon. If there is anyone in the SE PA area that has an unopened Xbox and wants to trade for an unopened PS5 I'd be up for that.

So you are upset that your kid won't have an Xbox series x by Christmas but will have it 2 days later, yet you bought 2 PS5's so someone else's kid definitely won't have a PS5 by Christmas?

Lol okay

I got the PS5's because they were available and my neighbors are looking for them for their kids. I was off and able to be online at that time and we've all been trying to look for each other. So someone else's kid will have the PS5's that may not have gotten one otherwise. Did you think I was just going to throw them in a closet and laugh as they sit unused? Reading back through this whole thread there are people who got an Xbox that don't need it and I was just trying to offer an even trade. If I get an Xbox before Christmas then the one I get after Christmas will go to someone who may not have been able to get one before. I'd ask if that all sounded ok to you but I don't care. I'm going to spend my time enjoying the season and not trolling other peoples' posts. Happy Holidays to you.
