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).

Ordered 11/24, received today.
What was your original delivery estimate? Did you get any alerts that your item had shipped?

I ordered 2 days later (11/26) and delivery estimate is 30+ days later (1/4/22). Crazy!

It's a limited edition for a reason so I would be surprised if any retailer restocks Halo.

Not sure if any of you guys are going to use it for multiplayer games like call of duty and stuff, but be aware they are having some issues still with latency (not talking about slow internet here, but the time it takes for the controller to talk to the console).
I have had 2 Series X Xboxes already and will sell my second one soon. Glad I didn't get rid of my Xbox One X yet. That plays cod just fine with no problems. The new one was getting worse at times and it is a known problem they are just not showing it as a bug or update on fixing it so I am going to go back and wait. Some people will never have the problem but some playing online shooter games might figure it out sooner or later. I tried older controllers and newer ones and all were having latency problems most of the time.That is just not acceptable with such an expensive console. Good luck!

Does latency apply to single player games? Is it that noticeable when playing single player games?

It must be random selection, I've made almost 100 purchases from the MS store over the last 2 years and didn't get an invite.
It really is random. One account that has 0 purchases, 0 gamescore, has not been logged into a 360 for close to two years, 0 use of Outlook, and it still received an invite. My other (semi)actvie gametag account didn't receive an invite.

Anyone able to order yesterday or today or is it displaying "sold out" on the Xbox console portion of the bundle for everyone else?

Same here. I ordered 11/25 and my estimate is 12/27. It is what it is but what bugged me is that I got the email on 11/19 and tried to order then but couldn't because of the cart bug that none of the 5 reps I talked to over 5 days could help me with. Someone suggested what to do here and I was able to order right away but because of that 6 day delay it pushed my delivery estimate back so far. SMH.

Was anybody else charged $59.99 for their controller even though the website listed the sale price as being $49.99?

Yes. All bundle items looked to be MSRP. I called customer service to complain and try and get a discount, but they said that they are unable to honor sale prices for items in a bundle. I asked for a "generic" discount as a goodwill gesture, but they shot that down as well. I knew it wasn't likely, but figured why not try.
