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.

                          @Danstar: That's interesting, mine has had out of stock the entire time. I still think youll get one, as I mentioned this morning I wasn't able proceed to make payment as they were out of stock, but you were able to.

            @Valowick: From ms site.

            Series X is in hot demand right now. Please expect delays as we aim to ship your order by November 30th, 2020.

    Amazon's the only retailer left who is yet to open pre orders?

  • Tex Texan on 22/09/2020 - 11:26

    So is the trade-in deal finished/exhausted?

    • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2020 - 11:29

      Trade in deal is for when you pick up the item from nominated store so obviously will not work for home delivery and also they said they will honor the trade in deal till 31st Jan

      • Tex Texan on 22/09/2020 - 11:35

        Ah, so the deal is pay your $200 deposit now and when stock is ready, go in-store with Xbox One X, receive trade in value and pay the difference?

        • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2020 - 11:39
          +1

          Yes that's how it works so on the series X the residual would be $199 after deposit. $350 is what you would get for your XB1x

          • merajaan on 22/09/2020 - 12:02

            @[Deactivated]: I read that the trade in deal works for any console preorder not just Xbox series X, is that correct? Was planning on trading my Xbox One X to fund my PS5 preorder with EB since I couldn't get a Series X one from EB

              @merajaan: I don't know if you will get the same value when buying something else, you would have to call them to verify, anytime I have spoken to them they weren't very helpful.
              Given we really don't know the TnCs they are really playing with fire and ACCC should be notified.

    Hmmm maybe the Bethesda acquistion is driving up launch sales :D Seriously though that is massive news when you consider the IP Microsoft owns now from this deal (Fallout, Skyrim, Doom, Wolfenstein, the weird and wonderful output from Tango Studios etc) and takes Gamepass to a whole new level

    • Tex Texan on 22/09/2020 - 11:33

      After owning the last 3 generations of Xbox, I'm seriously considering PS5 this time. There always seems to be just enough PS exclusive titles that I'm interested in that I never get to play.

      • Pootie Tang on 22/09/2020 - 11:53

        Yeah im on that as well. Realy dislike the PS4 GUI though. Adding players etc is ugly

        • Tex Texan on 22/09/2020 - 12:00

          I've never owned a PS. Also not into online/multiplayer games so not too fussed with that side of things thankfully.

  • RickoWest on 22/09/2020 - 11:43

    I'm not too concerned about getting it on launch day, happy to wait.. Just wondering if I can go instore to put $200 down on a xbox series x and lock in the trade-in deal? Would I have to trade my console in then, or can I wait like has been said when ordering for launch day, till new stock arrives? I can't immediately see this question being answered and just throwing it out there in case others have been in to EB already and missed out on the initial launch stock. Thanks!

    • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2020 - 11:44

      There is no in store stock, this is strictly online ordering only.

    Wait, did they put the next round of pre-orders up before midday? Wasn't that when it was counting down to?

    edit: Oh, right, they just changed it to 3pm. Right, I've had enough being messed around by EB. Screw them.

  • Benjamin7711 on 22/09/2020 - 11:49

    EB Games title changed from 'Launch Day' to 'Post Launch Shipments (arriving 2020)'

    Release date also changed from 12 November to TBC 2020. Guess that explains them adding 3 hours to the timer.

    edit: it's changed again to 'Expected 2020'. Bugger that!

    • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2020 - 11:55

    Stuff EB with their constant time changes, had one in the cart at 8am est and couldn't pay, sick of EB's run around, tried Microsoft store 10 min ago and snagged one, not ideal as I wanted to trade in last gen gear but the whole shamozzle is getting ridiculous

  • amazonaddict on 22/09/2020 - 12:43

    I was thinking $750 is too much for a console and not many people are going to buy this. Now I think, Sony & Microsoft could have set the price at $1000 and still it would have sold out. Damn..

    All the games I have are working fine on PS4 Pro and XBox One X. Other than losing the resale value of these consoles, Am I missing anything else? I was thinking to take up this deal because both of my consoles are 2.5 yrs old. They might pack up anytime. So, I thought of this as a chance to get another year warranty :).

    If I miss 3 o clock one, then I will be placed into 2021 batch. Ebgames will then offer $120 for my consoles. :D

    • Arcticfox on 22/09/2020 - 12:45

    • Benjamin7711 on 22/09/2020 - 12:57

    Can the same trade credit be obtained ($420 with Level 4) for just trading in my Xbox One X without getting a Series X? I managed to get one through Microsoft. I live in a remote area of Victoria so can't be bothered trying to sell it privately.

      Unfortunately the trade in credit for ps4 pro is $300 and xbox one x is $350 base towards a next gen pre order only.

      If not it will be less, not sure by how much though.

      I just found out from ebgames anyway, so I will be trading my xbox one x with ps4 pro for $650 x1.? (depends on your ebworld)

      Mines $812.50 which is super neat as it covers the cost for the ps5 console.

      • merajaan on 22/09/2020 - 13:32

        So next-gen preorder meaning towards a PS5 or Xbox Series X? Did you get that info from their staff as it doesn't specify in the T&C's. I'm planning on trading my Xbox One X for my PS5 preorder with EB Games (only if it's at that $350 base trade in price + EB World Level) as I couldn't get a Series X from them

        Oh that's good to know, thanks. I managed to snag a PS5 so I'll just trade my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X towards that. Hopefully they'll refund the $200 deposit seeing as they'll cover the console :).
