If you’re hunting for an Xbox Series X, you might want to check your email inbox. As
, Microsoft has occasionally been contacting Microsoft Store customers, offering a “limited supply of Xbox Series X bundles” that are available to “valued Microsoft customers” in the US.The emails are addressed to Microsoft Store customers, and bundles are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Microsoft is limiting orders to one bundle per order or two bundles per 30-day period.
These Xbox Series X consoles are available on a first-come, first-served basis and will sell out quickly. The limit is one bundle per order, and two bundles per 30-day period. Since there is a limited supply available, receiving this email does not guarantee there will be consoles remaining when you try to purchase. If you attempt to purchase and see a message that the bundle is unavailable, that means we have sold out.
To purchase you must have a valid Microsoft account and sign in. Your unique link in this email is valid for your Microsoft account only, and the account must be associated with the email address that received this message. Microsoft requires buyers pick up a game at the standard price, even though many of them are on sale.There is one downside to the “bundle” offer, however — access requires purchasing a digital game and an extra controller. Paying $59.99 for a second controller adds to the price, but it’s the same as they usually cost in between the occasional sale.
They emailed me a guranteed purchase when they first launched. It was excellent timing given I was shopping for a second one for my son's Christmas.
tomwarren I got the email to buy one
It's obviously to deter scalpers... And you guys call yourself gamers 😂🤦🏾♂️ This has been done on PC for years...
how is this news?
Sooo... Microsoft becoming a scalper?
I'll wait for the inevitable hardware update that costs less and offers more.
Why are they making people get a bundle? Crazy that a trillion dollar company is that greedy.
I got these last year right before Christmas, the part that sucks is they force you to buy a game and only give a selection of 5 or 6.
