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).

My 1/4 delivery orders must be getting ready to ship as my CC just got hit up for pending charges. HTH
I got the same but then I checked and I see the pending charge and then the pending charge being credited, so I don't think it's anything (sadly).

Thanks! worked for me (Diablo II Resurrected refund), now to try to return red controller
No go on digital game refund request (GTA 5) via poster jmanjust method. Request for refund via call option - the customer rep directed me to their online website and refused to process refund over phone citing "Microsoft Terms of Use" which the rep was pulling out of his ass.

We're really sorry we can't give you a refund.
It's been longer than our refund policy allows for digital game products. Thanks for understanding."
Please note on Xbox website,
Quote :
Refunds are typically issued for requests meeting the following criteria:
Requests are made within 14 days of the purchase date
Requests are for games in which you haven't accumulated a significant amount of play time

Note As a limited exception, digital game products may be eligible for a refund within 30 days if you're unsatisfied with the license agreement or warranty, but only if you do not make or retain any copies.

Has anyone had success returning the digital game that come bundled? I see mixed comments in this thread.

If I go to my order history, the game doesn't even show up as possible to refund. It's far cry 6 and I honestly want to play it, so not the end of the world, and it was only $35. Just wondering!

Yes, some folks in Twitter got an invite for the Halo bundle so l was curious if MS sent the invite to the same folks who also got one for the regular series X.

Just found it on Twitter. Wish I received it…

My gf received the plain bundle email but not this Halo bundle email, so it may just be random.
