Xbox Series S/X Preorder Mega Thread (Worldwide Preorder Details in OP) - Starts Sep 22nd
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
Looks like they have the series S only so far.
I'm waiting too. Would like to get it in store at Best Buy with my system
Yea my X will never see a disc AFIK but I had to have that full power 4k been waiting since SNES for consoles to get here. Add in GP expanding into a real savings over spending hundreds on those games each year and.... damn.
Can't wait
Would have been thrilled for $449 disc-less version though lol
That's why I laughed at people getting pissed off about people securing multiple orders, because shit like this happens every damn time.
Same thing happened to me. I now have a line of credit through Citizen's One opened even though I couldn't get the console through All Access
I called Citizen's One, and they said if it's inactive for 90 days, it'll close on its own or you can request they close it immediately. I'm just gonna leave mines open just in case All Access becomes available again

I don't even pay attention to people who spew out nonsense like that or look down on others for securing multiple preorders. They're just salty they didn't get one and/or they have never tried to secure a launch console. Getting a preorder is never a guarantee that it will be fulfilled.
I'm fine with securing 2, 3+ is a bit much but either way it doesn't matter if you're going to end up cancelling the others anyway. As long as they become available to others at cost from the retailer and you aren't scalping them on eBay I don't see much harm.
Thanks for this info, I'm done forever with the all access stuff since I doubt it will be up and working by the time my normal pre order comes in but keeping it open seems fine. Very helpful. They should have handled all access totally different
So i went thought all access on gamestop i was approved but my order did not go through when i hit checkout. But i still got the all access email with my account getting started through citizen one. I tried to call there number to cancel it, since i dont even see the order through gamestop but when i call i get " where sorry the number in use is not in service" Anyone know what to do?
Did you call 888-522-9881? That's the number I was able to reach them at
Thanks for the number the one on their site does not work.
I got a message from Citizens One as well even though I didn't grab an order. Was hopeful that maybe their was a chance I got one lol
Just came here to say I got a CitizensOne Account approval email. Hope Gamestop has a quick death.
I preordered the PS5 headset/camera on Best Buy, same as I did the Series X, and I see a negative charge on my card for it.
I thought Best Buy just did a temporary hold/pending charge that would disappear.
At least both of my orders seem to exist in the site and the headset/camera one that I did on the 17th appears on top.
I keep being worried something is going to go wrong lol

I still can't believe they didn't set separate stock aside for All Access, knowing we had to fill out a credit application and wait for it to process
I got an email from citizensone... what does it mean? A hit on my credit with nothing to show for? I did this on Microsoft store btw...
Ha! I secured a XSX preorder yesterday through Walmart but I was kinda bummed that I couldn't get a preorder in at Amazon since I get 5% cash back with my Prime credit card. Well Chase just released their 5% cash back categories for Q4 and they include Walmart and PayPal! So I'll get my 5% cash back on the XSX after all.
If anyone has a Chase Freedom card you might want to see about switching your payment method to PayPal in order to get that 5% cash back as well. (Be careful though, sometimes trying to change a preorder online results in the order getting canceled entirely so it might be safer to call)

I just got this too and I am pretty positive my attempts at the all access thing never went through. No confirmation from the microsoft store and it doesn't show up anywhere on my account.
Is it just like a "blank" account or something? Like they aren't gonna try to come making you pay for anything?
Sorry, I have an OT question:
I'm thinking about getting Watch Dogs Legion, but I'm a bit worried because Ubi didn't really seem to support Watch Dogs 2 that much on the X1X (as in it apparently ran worse than the Pro version, and stayted at 900p). Are Ubi likely to be more supportive of Legion on the XSX?

Somehow I completely missed that "LOADING TIMES" video from a few days ago for the Series S.
11 Seconds to load in The Outer Worlds game saves on Series S vs 53 Seconds to load the same thing on One S is nice to see.

Sounds like it's like opening a credit card but never buying anything. So we have an open line of credit but no balance since we didn't order anything.
Because it was never enhanced, it just ran at X1 settings.
Yes, it will fair much much better on the series X, it has smart delivery AND we already saw that the Series S version includes raytracing
How do I knoq its a freedom card?? mine just says amazon prime lol
Yeah, as someone who really only wants to deal with "pick up and play" games, this is a big deal. I just want to get into the game as fast as possible.
For me it's Wasteland 3. I played it for 2.5 hours last night and I bet at least 20 minutes of that was waiting at loading screens.
I would've too, but I haven't even finished Origins DLC, let alone started Odyssey yet!
they
just released a new patch and also just said next page is a big one with better load times too
I was thinking about Valhalla but for some reason Ubisoft games just don't do anything for me anymore. The last Ubisoft game I played was AC2.
Not necessarily a blank account. There is a credit line with a credit limit, but you can't really buy anything with it. You can only use that line to finance an Xbox through All Access, so since I don't have an Xbox, it's just an open credit line that I can't use
Yeah, I'm curious to try it out and see how improved it is. It's just last night I was going from Ranger HQ > Colorado Springs > Broadmoore Heights >
Hidden area under the statue in Broadmoore heights
You keep hearing about how WL3 is an 80 hour game, but I wonder what the actual time to completion will be on XSX with those loading screens being cut back by 80%. It's stupid that I'll probably never find out because I'm playing the game obsessively right now and will probably be through it before I get my new console. Though I'm sure I'll go back to it one day. There is a lot of replayability there.
Same. I have Origins and Odyssey on both PS4 Pro and Xbox One X that I bought on sale and haven't touched yet.
The only reason I'm getting it is to justify my $500 purchase of Series X. If I see it running in 4k/60 i'll be impressed for a few hours. The last Ubi game I payed full price for was WD1 and before that AC1/2.
I'm not a fan of the premise of play as anyone and I stopped liking WD when it went from a more serious to a goofy tone in 2. Who knows maybe reviews will sway me come release.
