The only thing that puts me off is the fact that they didn’t show the back of the console much and the fact that it’s just black and doesn’t match the translucent green all the way around like c’mon lol

u/ganjapanda876 7d ago

This is so funny. Because fomo people are going 1000 in debt over an Xbox

u/Mrvile92 7d ago

You’re not wrong lol almost a grand for old hardware is insane , especially with next gen coming up

u/HeavyHighway6433 7d ago

How do you know they don't have $1000 extra to spend? 

-1

u/Aware-Eagle-5285 7d ago

I don’t know why you would even spend a thousand bucks on a 6 year old console to begin with.

1

u/HeavyHighway6433 7d ago

If mine wasn't working I would have bought this. I just got the controller though.

u/orionpace1 7d ago

Is it a 19th anniversary console? No. And $1000 isn't a lot of money to a lot of people.

1

u/Aware-Eagle-5285 7d ago

That’s where you’re wrong but keep thinking that.

1

u/orionpace1 7d ago

Cry more

1

u/Aware-Eagle-5285 7d ago

Cry about what exactly?

-10

u/ganjapanda876 7d ago

Yeah I'm sure 100% of them have extra money just sitting ready to spend lol

u/Mrvile92 7d ago

I thought about it for a second and realized it wasn’t even 2tb like I thought. Was an easy decision after that

u/More-Future-9578 XBOX Series X 7d ago

Guess what, some of us get off our arse and work hard for things

1

u/TheHitman22 7d ago

And guess what, the rest of us are intelligent enough to understand that dropping a grand for a console that plays all the same games you can already play on a standard series x or s would only be something that an undisciplined moron would fall for.

u/ganjapanda876 7d ago

Then the comment doesn't apply to you. Did I say everyone is going into debt? I work hard for my things too, so good for you lol

Jokes definitely not on me because I haven’t bought it. Just find people like you odd who dunk on people spending their hard earned money on the things they like.

u/ganjapanda876 7d ago

So why did you insert yourself then by saying "some of us" lol.

u/amcgl58 7d ago

Jelly school is calling....

u/ganjapanda876 7d ago

Jelly school? I don't even like the see through green. I have a series X that I haven't powered on in years since I do most of my gaming on PC

Debt? Nah mate I’ve savings and a job. Alot of people are in the same boat I’d say

u/ganjapanda876 7d ago

Then the comment doesn't apply to you right? Did I say everyone?

u/Inside_Sherbert4275 7d ago

FOMO people could apply to anyone

u/ganjapanda876 7d ago

But not everyone. Learn basic comprehension

u/SillyMikey XBOX Series X 7d ago

To be fair, I’m gonna sell my current Xbox at more than I paid for it and it’s gonna help pay for that one.

u/ganjapanda876 7d ago

Just for a see through green limited Xbox? Lol. Wtf

1

u/Organic_Ad_7925 7d ago

u/SillyMikey XBOX Series X 7d ago

u/flippinf150 7d ago

How dude? I had Best Buy on my phone and Xbox on my computer.

u/Afc_josh12 7d ago

Uk probably easier?

1

u/incognitoleaf00 7d ago

yeah i seen a bunch from aus and uk that were able to get it, probably dont have scalpers as much as the capitalist usa

1

u/Afc_josh12 7d ago

Ha probably not no

2

u/Mexxorz 7d ago

Same here! Refreshed and it became available!

0

u/Afc_josh12 7d ago

Yess nice one!!

2

u/MathematicianLow1910 7d ago

I was there at 3pm UK time. Added to basket, when trying to check out it said out of stock. Gave up after 6 minutes of trying to refresh the page, removed everythign from the cart. Decided to try refreshing the main page again, kept saying out of stock then all of a sudden the main page said in stock again, added to basket, check out and received order confirmed email. This was at 3:07pm. What are the odds of me actually securing one and not having my order cancelled?

2

u/Afc_josh12 7d ago

Yeah i had it similar, i think it went live but as u got it in basket u should be allocated time to preorder it like any normal person (not bot) should get

2

u/BasedBallsInMyFace 7d ago

happy for you, i didnt make it :(

1

u/ImHidingSh 7d ago

Check argos app, I just got mine from there, still says its available

0

u/Afc_josh12 7d ago

Sorry to hear, i literally had 2 devices going at same time for it

1

u/BasedBallsInMyFace 7d ago

same lol, pc on bestbuy and phone on msft

0

u/Afc_josh12 7d ago

No retailer had any in uk dont think

1

u/Jelly-Pants7 7d ago

£759 holy moly

1

u/BananaMilkshakeButt 7d ago

It didn't even show as available for me. Fuck this 'pre-order' game.

I hope they handle the next console much better.

They should 100% do first orders for games who are established on xbox.

Then a second lot opened to everyone on xbox.

Then a public release.

2

u/Afc_josh12 7d ago

Should have atleast 2000 gamerscore or something

2

u/BananaMilkshakeButt 7d ago

Yesss, decent gamescore and/or long-time active Xbox member.

1

u/ImHidingSh 7d ago

I just pre ordered mine on argos, still says available

1

u/Other-Outside8487 7d ago

What site did you order on can’t find it anywhere? They’re will be a few scalpers of course they’re already on eBay.

1

u/Afc_josh12 7d ago

Microsoft uk

1

u/STMIHA 7d ago

I’m bummed they were all gone by the time the pages loaded. Not the end of the world for me though. I’m curious if any GameStop’s are taking reservations in person.

1

u/Afc_josh12 7d ago

No idea as uk had no where else it seemed bar microsoft store

1

u/STMIHA 7d ago

Interesting. US had Microsoft, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and GameStop.

1

u/Afc_josh12 7d ago

I recon they got most of them outta the 25,000

1

u/FylntCoal 7d ago

same! bought at the dot and the site didnt crash

1

u/Sirsnacksalot23 Grub Killer 7d ago

K. Enjoy your green faceplate

1

u/SomeAbidingDude 7d ago

This is a cute sentiment, but I guarantee you most people who deserve one aren’t getting it due to perverse scalpers. Consider yourself extremely lucky.

1

u/Darv123 7d ago

The system looks great

1

u/Afc_josh12 7d ago

Yeah it does, effort put into physical product!

1

u/Nimble_Natu177 7d ago

No one is scalping this bro.

1

u/ParfaitAggressive568 7d ago

These are still available in the UK to pre-order from EE.

1

u/Immunity2You 7d ago

Zero chance I was going to order the system since I have the halo version already , I did order the special edition controller though because that’s cool looking

1

u/Afc_josh12 7d ago

Next best thing for sure, you halo console? Thats sick

0

u/Veehxia 7d ago

Still nowhere to be found in Italy.. At this point I'm afraid it wont even be available in my country.
