Possibly...

Keep an eye on:

I dropped a preorder for the SSD but I may or may not keep it. At the end of the day it's pretty pricey.

Hey fam, I preordered an Xbox Series X on Microsoft Store and got an order confirmation by email with an order number. However if I go on my Microsoft Store Order History, there's nothing there. Is this normal?

On the other hand, if I press order details in my email confirmation, the page still loads with order details. So I'm getting conflicting messages here from Xbox :P Any idea what's up?

Mine shows up in my order history here. You can ask the live chat support about it to confirm, but that seems odd to me.

Do you know how one would go about getting all access if you have already been approved? Like how do you apply the credit line to the Series X? I was approved through Gamestop and like you they were sold out, but if Gamestop or The Microsoft Store get one in stock eventually how would we go about starting the process for All Access?
If you've been approved like me, all you need to so is fill out the sheet and it'll recognize your acceptance already and then just ask you to verify your name and last 4 of your social. No second credit check will be ran.

It looks like Best Buy charged me in full for my Series X preorder. Is that normal? I thought I had read they just place a hold... not a huge deal, just wondering.

Where'd you sell it?
To a mom of one of my former students. I knew she was talking in on about wanting to buy him the new Xbox a few months ago, and I knew she probably wasn't thinking about needing to order one early. So I shot her a quick text last night and she was elated!

Feels good!

I can see now how my post could imply scalping. Haha. Nope. I'm a good guy. I tried to scalp one time several years ago to make some extra cash and it failed miserably, and I learned my lesson hard.

Did you pay through PayPal? As far as I'm aware, paying through PayPal Checkout is the only way for them to permanently take your funds.

I'm wondering the same thing 🤔 From what I read is that they'll put in a full price charge on your card and refund it no later than 5 days, then they'll charge you again when the item ships. Unless you use PayPal, in which case they fully charge you upfront.

It isn't a charge and a refund. They put a hold on the funds then it drops off when the charge does not come through.

So I was done chatting on Microsoft site and was told that there was an inventory error on their site and are gonna do a second pre order batch very soon.

Aside from this error, does anyone think there will be additional availability prior to Nov 10? I'd imagine their production lines are in full output mode, so wouldn't there be a steady stream between now and whenever?

What's a good wireless headset to get with the series X?
I currently have the Plantronics RIG 800LX and they are great and I'm wondering if their is anything being released for the series X worth upgrading for. Thanks

I never received a confirmation email but it is in my order history.
