[Preorder] Xbox Series X $399 ($329 with Level 4 EB World) ($749 without) When You Trade in Your Xbox One X @ EB Games

3455

I reckon this is an amazing deal.

Make sure you select click and collect on the website when you preorder to get this offer.

Preorders commence online on 22nd September

Alternatively, you can get the Series S version for $299 when you trade in your Xbox One S but no one would want a stovetop.

EB world is eligible for this offer so if you are on level 4, that’s $420 off the console price itself

Note: Confirmation from EB Games rep If you place an online preorder for collection in store, you don't have to trade in until release day. Which means you can secure this deal and still use your Xbox One X until release day.

22/09/2020 8:14am: Update from EB Games Twitter Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S LAUNCH Shipment has now presold out. There will be a small shipment expected POST LAUNCH 2020. Current expected presell time of Midday AEST.

22/09/2020 7:39pm Update from EB Games Twitter We are now presold out. Thank you for your patience today.

          • @sleepingtiger: I'm assuming that'll be at the latest. If they get their act together by then surely it'll be in Nov sometime. You'd expect better purchasing from the official site compared to other retailers.

              @Monkeychips: Yah, better to cover their asses I guess. I would rather expect later and have delivered earlier than the other way around :)

    • +4

      If you are impatient to wait.
      Navigate to https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/store/configure/Xbox-Series-…
      Right click on the "Choose your console (required)" text above the square section with Out of Stock wording, click Inspect.
      You should see "Choose your console (required)" in h4 tag.
      The DIV section below contains class="oos" and disabled="disabled"
      Change the class from "oos" to "m-channel-placement-item m-cart-placement-item f-wide f-full-bleed-image" and remove disabled="disabled".

      You are now able to add the xbox series x to cart.

      I can get to Place Order screen. But I haven't tried to place one since I want to go to EB to trade in.

      • Dang good stuff this, this is what literally stopped people from adding it to cart. But once it is in cart, theres a chance you could snatch one.

        • I think the order placing part will fail. But yes, at least you can add it to cart.

          • @cpeiqi: I acceidently added the xbox to the cart and can proceed to the checkout page but I can't place the order as "Unable to purchase the order at the moment – please try again."

            • @applebernie: you will get that error most of the times. but mine processed through eventually. keep trying.

      • haxxor

  • Finally got one.

  • Yes, I got one too.

    A quick question, I can keep my current console up until the new one available? they will acknowledge the trade in offer?
    I currently have xbox one x so $399 for the xbox series X?

    • Yes you can.

      The trade-in offer goes until the end of January 2021.

      However they might encourage you to trade the console in a few days early to make pick-ups faster. Customers spending less time in store. COVID-19 etc. etc.

      • I was told you can actually hold on to your XB1x till day of pick up, it is not smart to spend more time in store, ie 2 trips when you don't need to, especially with restrictions as they are.
        I'd say we will be safe by time of release so go in when it's quiet, 1st thing in the morning on a Tues or Wed when it wont be bust and call ahead to find out when is best.

      • I'm OK to trade in a couple days early before the new one is available. however mine is not the the launch shipment, how can I know when my new xbox will be available so that I can schedule an early trade in?

        • I'm in the exact same boat. Expect a call or email closer to the time.

        • When you pick up the Series X is when you do the trade, EB will apparently honor Xbox trade ins till Jan 31st.
          No need to give it to them any sooner. I am going to call them now just to validate.

          EDIT no point in calling, I got engaged and figured everyone is screaming at them atm.

    • yes you can trade in before or at launch (and perhaps after too?), whichever suits you I guess.

      but dang so many people orders went through on EB but not mine :/ Grats!

      • Doubt it'll be after since you need the trade in credit to offset the purchase price.

  • +2

    I still missed out :( Congrats to ones who won this damn lottery, I hope the second round was purchased by actual people wanting to game on these!

    • try again -more available!

      • Thanks,got one a couple of minutes ago

  • Got one! Keen to see what my Xbox one s gets me for the series x.

    • I don't think it works that way, you will be trading it in as a stand alone trade in I think, pretty sure they wanted Series S for S trades and Series X for X trades.
      Ring and find out, I am not too happy there are no TnC online.

      • You can trade anything for anything. And if you sell it privately before hand for more $$$ good on ya.

  • Xbox Series S appears to still have stock?

    Title of the post should probably reflect that.

    [EDIT] Nevermind…. just realised the title specified Series X only.

  • +5

    Back in stock! Got the X with ease, get in!! (Post launch stock) email confirmation received instantly.

    • +1

      Thanks got one, FINALLY….

    • Did you get charged twice? I did

      • Just checked the card transactions, 1 charge only. Assuming they may cancel 1 and refund? (1 per customer and all that)

  • Um it’s back again?

  • +1

    Series X seems to be back in stock now? My order just went through

  • Yes it's back!!!!!!!!!!!!Got one finally!

  • +3

    My missus just told me that she's got one, laughing that I couldn't get one.

  • Im in the same boat as a few other people…No order confirmation yet they took my money
    God i hope i get an email soon rather than a refund

  • +2

    Definitely more stock now available! Just went back on website and order went straight through. Get on everyone who missed out earlier!!!

  • +1

    OMG!!! I placed an order without any errors or issues! Try now people! Been trying since 8am and gave up but then saw the comments and tried it. Thanks guys

  • Finally got one, no fuss with the check out system too. probably because all the bots are done we humans get the scrap.

  • +1

    LGO EB NOW PPL GOG OGOGO GOGO GOOG its back and no timeout issues

    OMG IT WORKED!!! Thank you to those that posted the updates in here, helped me go and grab one!

    YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
    GO GO GO

    Not a deal. No one in their right mind owns a Xbox One X.

  • +1

    How fantastic was it to go through the ordering process with no errors or spinning wheels of death!

    • Sureal.. i’m dreading some kind of cancellation email as was so painless..

  • Yeh OK, I just put in a pre order and it went through…So now they have taken money for my confirmed preorder, but also $200 from earlier when i didnt get a confirmation email….this will be fun seeing how this plays out

    • I'm in exactly the same boat.

    • I read on twitter, if your card has been charged that means your order went through

      • I got no email to confirm it, and it didnt show up in my orders section in my eb games account, however the second one did and i got the email. I emailed support so now ill probably get both pre orders cancelled and my account deleted :)

    Available now (5:48PM) on EB Games

    Got one to try resell towards Christmas time. Thanks

    • You are part of the problem, boo!

    • Estimated delivery 31st Dec 2020. Oops I think I fked up

  • Omfg … Just ordered and got an order number and everything.

  • Got one too

  • Quick one guys,
    If i don't have a 4K TV and no plan to buy one(have a FHD at the moment), is there any reason to upgrade from Xbox X to this new one?
    all games will be backward compatible with current X one , right?

    • Question, why do you even own an Xbox One X when you only have a FHD TV?

      • gifted to me mate and i kept it, i'm a PC guy by nature :)

        So from your point of view , no point of Xbox X series?

      • +1

        Better performance?

        • fair enough but i guess performance won't be that much different.

          with my PC hat on : unless RDNA2 ray tracing (if AMD finally done it) included in the new Xbox X series , not sure if it's in the new Xbox spec

          • @SamyKn: Honestly, I would rather hook the Xbox up to a good PC monitor than to a mediocre 4K TV.

            I used to do it for Foxtel (i.e. hooked up to a 23" FHD monitor) and could not go back to the 50" Plasma after.

            Not really apple to apple comparison, but you get the picture.

    • +1

      With Microsoft's promise to keep all games for up to 2 years backwards compatible with the One X/S, I don't think they'll make any games to fully take advantage of the SSD in terms of how the engine works, it may just be load times for a little while. You'll be fine on the One X, get series S when games no longer support older consoles.

      Ray Tracing may be more of a Series X feature though, it's quite taxing on my 2080ti, can't imagine the Series S will support it greatly on most games. We'll see though.

      • Thanks mate , sounds logical

        btw , Turing was experimental RT , that' why performance was bad even on your 2080Ti. Ampere must be better but i'm waiting for 6900XT to come so can compare better then decide which way to go :)

    • +1

      No, but given the series X, and it's warranty, and faster ssd, your just paying a little more, so I'd say yes only to the fact the Xbox one X is adding trade in credit.

      However if it wasn't probably not, most definitely not…

      • thanks mate , appreciated

    • +1

      Main reason I got one was faster loading. Also with trading the One X its pretty cheap.

  • +1

    Got one five minutes ago :) Excellent - thanks team! Got an email confirmation and it's in the order history.

    Now, hopefully the order that didn't go through properly earlier today - but that still took $200 (and no email confirmation, or order #) gets sorted out when they vet the day's activity and that first $200 goes back onto my card.

  • Yes, finally!

  • +1

    Yay. Finally got an order to place. Thanks to this being bumped back to front page.

  • +1

    Nice! Got one too

  • Yay,got one!

  • I was looking for the T&Cs but couldn't find them about the trade in deal. The ones that are due post launch, does anyone happen to know if there's a deadline to trade in your old One X?

    • +1

      The current trade in value is valid until 31/01/2021.

    • +1

      January 31st 2021.

  • i refreshed at the perfect time, order placed and went as smooth as it should have the first two times ;)

    PS5 and XBSX both Post launch, gg's

  • ok to get to level 4, how much do you need to spend at EB?

    • 9500 total

      • This is over the lifetime? Or does the $9500 expires after certain years?

      • yes and no.

        Not really "spend" but what value you provide them.

        I got to Level 3 purely on trading in stuff (which doubles the carrots).

        So with the upcoming series X trade in, you stand to gain (assuming level 1).

        700 carrots for trading in the xbox one X
        749 carrots (pretty sure its based on full price, someone correct me if I am wrong) for the Xbox Series X purchase
        20 carrots for pre-order bonus

        So in total 1469 carrots from this one deal.

  • Can someone let me know how much ill be paying? I paid the $200 depo, im trading in the xbox one x with level 3 membership. Thanks in advance :)

    • +1

      750 For the console

      350 trade in value for XBOX One X … +15% = 402.5 value

      750 - 402.5 = 347.5

      Im doing the same method :)

      • So the $200 is just to hold it? Does that not reduce the final price?

        • +1

          Don't worry, it does, just like any other preorder deposit, 347.5 - 200 = 147.5

          • @Siuto: Awesome thanks :)

            • @Alaken: Sorry should have added the deposit in the working :)

  • Fk you scalpers 😹 I'm not paying:

    I feel like team ozbargain has come from behind right at the end of the game to beat the bots/scalpers - such a great feeling after the frustration earlier today

  • It's also reappeared as a new (but dead) link on Amazon AU…

    • So annoying it doesnt work

      • Just clicked on Amazon AU link about 6:15pm and was able to get one launch stock :), now again out of stock. Not sure if someone cancelled or a trickled release. It has been strange how their system has been working as there was no stock at 8am today.

        • +1

          They held it till 6:10, no clue why they went at 6pm but for those who waited like me, always good to get some launch stock
