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).

Original ETA of 12/22. Arrived 1 day early. Packaging and box of the new Xbox feels more "premium" compared to the PS5 disc version that my brother owns.

Does anyone have any insight or information on how to receive an invitation to buy a Series X? My Microsoft account is several years old and I was already signed up to receive promotional emails. But alas, no love from Microsoft.

The only emails Microsoft ever sends me is to renew my Office 365 subscription.

My XBox - SeriesX arrived today as promised by MSFT.

They put so many holds and cancels on my card, I was beginning to wonder. In the end the final payment was processed earlier this week and the XBox arrived today via UPS.

Now I need to vacate an HDMI slot on my receiver Smilie Likely Roku will get the boot.

Update: had to wait a long long time and after being forced to buy BS games etc. My orders arrived just in time for Xmas. So after all this time and hassle I should be happy right or what they were going for "thankful? Well both came in a good shipping box BUt inside they had literal cuts all over that went into the boxes and dents galore. AgainI should be thankful right? I received rejects passed off as lucky you. Now on top of it the controller is cheap and feels cheap and comes with "complimentary" cheap non chargeable aa batteries. In any event I got passed off some rejects as a be thankful we blessed you. Effem. Total garbage

I'm in the 1/4/22 scheduled delivery group. No movement yet which has me worried. I want to say something to my son about it for Christmas but don't want to risk the chance it will be canceled. Fingers crossed it ships soon.

I've signed up for every Microsoft marketing email and promotion as I've kept reading was required for this and never have gotten an invite. I've gotten several Microsoft ads in my email since then.

Despite having bought an Xbox One X and several digital games from Microsoft directly I think some people are just shut out of this for some reason.

In the last day or so Xbox Series X stock has held on some websites for longer than usual. Perhaps after the Christmas rush they'll bring back standard ordering. I've got all my money for the console stuck on the Microsoft store as a result of getting that credit from Gamestop. So I'll have to wait until it happens.
