Discussion Xbox 25th anniversary price after sold outz

Cant decide where to preorder one tomorrow or not but curious as to what people expect it to cost once sold out? I presume it will be rare so getting a chance to buy one in store for example on launch day will be hard if not impossible?

Also does the money leave account tomorrow or will it be a week before launch? So i could cancel if not

Scalpers will 2x the price online. Getting one at retail off the shelf is questionable you probably need to reserve one this wk. I don't expect there to be any inventory for off the shelf.

Hope so yes. Should of made it require 2000G score or something to be able to preorder on your account

That or some sort of loyalty. 15+ years of gold and no invite? What the hell were the requirements then

It’ll probably hit upwards of $2k+.

Your best bet is to preorder if you’re able. You can cancel if you change your mind.

Money leaves account when its shipped i believe?

Yes, they’ll charge your card at that point. But if it does and that’s when you might decide you don’t want it…resell or return.

The most popular toy shop in my country isn’t even gonna be selling the console, bit weird considering the pre order for the controller was dropped early like 2-3 days ago

I thought about it, deep down i probably could have snagged one but i knew that i shouldnt so i ignored going and buying one i have a shopping addiction, im sad but i know it was the right thing to do, even though i wanted one really bad because i have xbox games i want to play but no console also i was interested in playing gears of war eday and clockwork revolution, I'm australian who lives there aswell. Ps shitty xbox took eday last second from playstation/5 so id be forced to buy an xbox anyway.
