Hi, if you pre order off the Microsoft website do you pay the full price upfront? cheers

It depends. If paying by card, it won't come out until 2 working weeks before hand at the latest. If by gift cards its straight away. If both then it's all taken out up to 2 weeks beforehand

Should of brought the Xbox to gamestop only giving 180 for Xbox one x I see on their website nw. Few days back 243 with level 1. Wasn't near one at all last few days.

I'd rather keep it and use it in another room than sell it for that.

I cant see them doing better, its gamestop we are talking bout they will offer series x for 350 or max 300 by the time its released. They will give people what they feel they can get back and nobody will be buying a one x with the series s being so affordable

I would be rather save the 500 now and buy elsewhere and donate my one X to charity than deal with them

Yeah I will see their trade in offer down the line when it comes out. In the parents house they have the 360 and it's on its last legs so I might give them the xbox x down the line and it's there so my kids and their cousins can play it there then. Will see what they offer when it's out as it going from 243 credit to 180 feck that.

We still thinking that supply wont be an issue? Im not so sure. I can see it selling out in UK/IRL. That said, im not sure what the split will be like... series x / series s sales wise. I can see the series s doing quite well, particularly for people who want a second console to access game pass.

Just on this, it was 243 with level 3 - not 1, for the level 3, they give you a bonus tenner trade in, plus 10% extra for your trade, plus another bonus if you use your trade to preorder a console.

in gaming terms, you stack your buffs. :cool:

Yes, you can order directly off MS.

I know nobody can predict , but What is the general feeling that preordering on sept 22 will guarantee one for 10/11/20?


GameStop are taking preorders but the guy in the shop said , you then need to arrive early on nov 10th as it’s first come , first served

that's a load of crap they should have a system in place if you put 50 euro down your ahead in a q with your number they hold it for you for the day released and next day if you don't collect within that time you lose it and someone else gets it and you get your 50 euro back. Like what's the point in asking for the 50. I paid 100 off the PS5 in November so I presume I would be ahead of people who just rock up earlier in the day then me and same if I put a 50 deposit down on the xbox if someone done this before me then they get it before me and not if I arrive earlier then them on the day.

From my understanding, the 50e allows you to pick one up on release day provided still have stock

If you didn’t preorder, you can’t turn up to purchase on release day

Gamestop are a sham asking people to part with 50 quid and not guaranteeing a console before christmas.

Just when I hear someone saying such and such a store has say a preorder list of 300 people with an order for the PS5 say no way that one gamestop is getting 300 + consoles on the day. I could be wrong tho

Yes, doesn’t matter what you pay , it just guaranteed you the chance to get a console if you arrive early

He did say that he doesn’t expect the Xbox to sell out on day one

I decided not to preorder from there as I’d rather preorder as have one booked in my name

Thanks for that. Just a silly set up now I have to admit with the 50 euro as you might have it fully paid off in store but for whatever reason you can't get there till 10 mins till closing and there like sorry sold all them within the 1st hr.

I'm still hanging on to my One X's until there's a decent trade-in offer, otherwise I'll just sell them after I've picked up my Series X/S. Crazy for me to get rid of one of my machines for 2 months for the sake of an extra €50 or whatever.

I'm still banking on the One X being easy enough to sell on for people who might be considering the Series S, and that's because of the disc drive. A lot of people who are price sensitive like to have the option of picking up cheap games on disc.

For the one x

I put my band down but was too late for the release day list

They rang me the next day after release day to tell me someone never collected theirs so I can have it

Was the Scorpio , so I can’t knock them either tbf

They're taking the full amount the day before it ships. I'd assume that it's the same in Ireland.

You can preorder off the Xbox site here on the 22nd Sept.

There's no All Access (the Microsoft run financing deal) in Ireland, though.

This idea might be mad, but would there be an option to trade in your console to gamestop, use that credit to buy xbox credit, then buy via the microsoft website?

In theory, it should be possible.

Yeah you can definitely do that. I mostly paid for my One X with xbox live credit I bought using my Three mobile credit.

Fact. I'd have been hoarding for a series X for the last couple of years if it was still on the go.

Im hope im getting this right you can cancel your perorder on your xbox series x console in gamestop.Im just wondering I trade in switch and got trade credit so could I cancel xbox series x and just buy xbox credit and get it of Microsoft store. I know you cant with trade in games.

This tidbit might be already known, but it was the first I heard of it.

Not sure if anyone knows but I know the pre order is not till the 22nd of this month but in gamestop if you pre order you have to put 50 deposit down at moment just wondering if you trade in your xbox one at moment and if you have level 3 card would you get the 10% and 25% extra credit on it as technically they are saying now pre orders opening the 22nd of this month even tho gamestop taking the 50 euro deposit a lot longer? Just the 35% would bring it up a nice amount and was going to trade in slim ps4 as well be more or less 445 for them then if I get the 35% pre order credit. More or less paid for then.
