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).

They've just been directing me to the Microsoft store phone number after I tell them I want to return a controller. The Microsoft store wants me to return everything in the bundle to return the controller. What did you say to Xbox support?
Tell them each item is billed separately and also taxed separately so it really isn't a bundle. But if they insist tell them fine you want to refund all of it. Worst case or as other said sell them but that is a pain.

It was easy. I called up and said that I was in the process of ordering a second bundle and saw that the controller was now optional instead of required. I told them the first bundle I ordered had it as required and I was looking to return it since it was not required anymore. The lady said to call back when I received it. I got it the next day, called up, referenced my case number and they sent me a label. I actually just got the refund this morning.

It was when I placed my second order. For my first, it was required. For my second, only the game was required (which I also got refunded). Not sure if this was a glitch (but it clearly said the word 'optional' next to it).

I have one of these pending for the 27th of DEC. Don't really need it now because I got the PS5 a couple of days ago, and it's already been delivered. Is this still worth keeping and selling or is it best just to cancel the order? I got a refund on the game but not the controller.

Nah you are not missing anything. The line up for series x/s are pretty garbage.

Honestly this process sucks. I ordered one two weeks ago or so and the expected delivery date is December 27th. Over a months wait. Like why act like you have stock to sell when you clearly don't? Makes no sense.

Just got off the phone with Microsoft, they won't return the controller unless I return the Xbox console also,which I think is BS..But they did refund me $10 because the controller dropped in price.That was my experience.

Dude they are lying to you. Call again. I'm returning only my controller tomorrow. Call support. I told them I have an elite controller and they recently made the controller optional. Then tell them they can check the SERIES S For proof, since the SERIES S is still available
