They haven't redeemed the ultimate yet, so any gold that you have would be ultimate when they redeemed on top of that.
It was a gamble, and I bet wrong. I went 'safe' and paid more (well, full retail) bc I thought inventory would be zero if I waited, given all the supply chain issues.

I bought an S version Xbox for my 11YO about a month ago via the All Access program where you pay over two years, and where the Ultimate Game Pass is included (for 2 years).
I was not crazy about that idea although (Wirecutter thinks it's a great deal apparently) at the time no one had just the unit itself in stock. I thought with Christmas coming soon, better to secure it (then) than to wait until around now, and possibly no inventory at all (especially this year).
But it's $600 total! Again, for the S, which is $300. 2 years of the Ultimate Game Pass that it includes is definitely not worth $300.
Questions:
Anyone know if there is a way to cancel All Access program if I already bought it? (Xbox is unopened). SHOULD I? I assume the board agrees that $600 is crazy for an S.
I think MSRP for the included subscription is
$140(edited: $360), for two years, so assuming MSRP, you are paying about $60 for the no interest payment over two years.Any thoughts or advice appreciated!!
Details on the total access:
No upfront cost. 0% APR.*
Next-gen performance in the smallest Xbox ever.
Xbox Series S console
Access to 100+ games with 24 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
Gamepass Ultimate is MSRP of $15/month x 24 months = $360.
So $600-$360=$240.
Another benefit of the All Access package is that if you want to, you can upgrade to the Series X at any time during those 24 months.
Gamepass is essentially your own rental store on your console. I think of it as a great way to try before you buy so you don't drop $60+ on a game you wind up hating. And if a game is short and doesn't have a lot of replay value, you generally will have plenty of time to play through it on GPU without ever having to buy it, so potentially another $30-$60 per short game saved there. It also has exposed me to a lot of fun games I wouldn't have the opportunity to play otherwise or may never have heard of had it not been for Gamepass.
Ultimate also covers PC gaming for the same Microsoft account, so you can game on both types of device. Additionally, if you decide to buy a game to own, you get a 20% discount from the MS store.
Finally, Ultimate include the new XCloud gaming service which allows you to stream a game directly to your console without actually downloading it to your device. This is great for Series S because it doesn't take space on the relatively small internal drive, and as long as your bandwidth is sufficient (100mbps) it is pretty impressive how smoothly games run.
Given the scarcity of next gen consoles, I wouldn't kick yourself for making that deal at all. You did save a little bit, guaranteed you would get a console, can stream games from the cloud, and have the option to trade up to Series X if you want to.

It's not a terrible deal since it includes gamepass.
But there's other threads on here to get 3 years for about $90 usd.
So you can do the same thing for about $360
What you bought wasn't a rip off it's like save $60 and pay over 2 years. But if you can afford to pay up front you can use slick deals to save you a bunch of money on gamepass ultimate.

The Fortnite and Rocket League stuff are pre-loaded, so can't just sell a code. Can sign in to any account and claim them though, so if you know someone who might want them you could sell them/gift them that way.
