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).

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.

Last year at release people were upset they had to camp websites to try and get one. People suggested Sony and Microsoft should just them order and be in a queue. It would be less stressful. I remember saying no matter what, people would complain.

And here we go. Someone who knowingly ordered with a future expected date complaining.

Selling something you don't have in hand is stupid. Unless it's a pre order of course. I'm not complaining so much as stating facts.

Microsoft is sending consoles to other retailers for "drops" that are happening, but not actually shipping consoles out to people that ordered weeks ago. That is dumb

Well that sucks but I think you should raise hell with them telling them you missed multiple drops at different retailers because you ordered one and they cancelled one now etc. You will def get money back for ur controller and game. You should send message to their Twitter Facebook etc social media accounts not their phone

also, I ordered on 26th with estimated delivery January 4, 2022 so I wonder if cancellations are coming to other people.

unless you're trolling us all

Yeah i plan on calling tomorrow morning i put in an order for my cousin and I for myself I'm kinda glad they cancelled it because i don't even play the ps5 i have now but for my cousin I feel bad for him he already got his ps5 cancelled from Walmart that he finally was able to buy from them this past week and now this. I might just have to raise hell for the poor guy tomorrow.

Yeah it just came out of nowhere hopefully it was just a system error because i didn't actually get a valid reason for it.

After reading your post, I decided to check mine and my order was cancelled too (though I did not receive any notice that it had been cancelled). I'm going to contact them as soon as they open.

I am getting nervous my order (due 1/4/22) will be cancelled. So I called a few targets around me this morning and 1 had it in stock, just picked it up. Highly recommend people try target in store, there was no one in line. Just call ahead and confirm if they have stock

The people that are getting cancellations, did you buy multiple or just one? Did you already order one in the past? I ordered mine 11/29, with an estimated delivery of 1/4, and it's still showing pending. It's the only one I've been able to get through.

Try calling all the Target stores in your area in the morning everyday. I was surprised how easy it was to pick one up today...it had to be in person though, not online

Not sure what is going on, but my order is back. There were some weird website issues this morning as I kept getting errors loading the page. I just checked now though and both of my orders are there (11/26 and 11/29).
