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.

      Yeah but from my understanding with this you can just hand over your Xbox One X on the day of release, put down $399 smackers and your done. That way you can play right the way up to the next one coming out.

      Plus no hassle of selling online and people not showing up lowballing etc.

        This would be a good deal a few weeks/months after release.

        It's basically RRP minus a crap amount for your console. Maybe good if your existing console is falling apart and is still eligible.

        I'm not paying RRP for next gen, no way.

          It isn't an outstanding offer but it is by no means bad. Especially for those that don't want the hassle of trying to sell it on ebay to gain the extra $50 they might get but at the risk of being scammed.

          • TEER3X on 10/09/2020 - 09:31

            @gromit: It's more than $50. There's going to be deals on the next gen, whether that's X amount off or bundled at the same price.

            • gromit on 10/09/2020 - 09:42

              @TEER3X: prices are dropping, they will continue to drop as the date approaches. Xbox One X has sold for below $400 on ebay for example in the last few days, by release date I would expect $400 to be the max price you can get.

        • cc23 on 10/09/2020 - 09:31

          I think you'll be lucky to pay RRP for PS5 this year. I've been saving all year for both Series X and PS5 and know I am going to be jumping at the opportunity to pay RRP as if I've learned anything from 2020 it's that bored people are crazy for tech.

      If you want to sell on the secondary market be my guest, i have sold hundreds of stuff but when it comes to electroic goods people straight up act retarded. They lowball by 50% of your asking price, they want to know the full history of the item your selling, why you are selling (why does this even matter? What are they going to do with this infomation) and 100 random questions. This way with EB you are getting a no fuss trade in.

        • AustriaBargain on 16/09/2020 - 18:49

    Seems to be the same price as the trade in offered a few weeks ago https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/558163

    Also thinking it says excludes EB World discount which usually means you can get more for your trade in based on your status on the program. So cross fingers I am likely as a level 4 to get My 1X trade in for $420 instead of the standard $350, bringing it further down to $330.

    Check the link above for what looks to be accurate level bonuses going on currently.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/09/2020 - 09:57

      Aaaaaand I just did that in calculator, only to find someone already did it.

      You can also get them from Telstra with Xbox All Access including Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play, but no pricing yet.

      • Jamiea on 10/09/2020 - 11:41

        It's $46/mo for X and $33/mo for S

        • [Deactivated] on 10/09/2020 - 11:59

          I can't find anything corroborating that. Source?

            • [Deactivated] on 10/09/2020 - 14:26

              @Jamiea: Hmm. So you save $30 on the Xbox and GPU subscription, but have to be stuck on Telstra for 24 months, meaning as usual Australia gets screwed.

              • Jamiea on 10/09/2020 - 14:29

                @[Deactivated]: I think it's more aimed at people who don't want to have to pay $750 up front and pay it off over 24 months instead

                • [Deactivated] on 10/09/2020 - 14:34

                  @Jamiea: Well one thing worth mentioning is the GPU is given in the form of a 24 month Xbox Game Card, so you could sell that off if you don't use it (i.e. if your Xbox thinks you're in Brazil).

            The announcement also confirms details about Xbox All Access, which allows users to pay off their console in instalments over 24 months, while also offering an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

        Hello, I got a call today from EB Games asking if I was going to trade in anything for the new Xbox. I said I had an Xbox One S all digital. The staff member then said they'll take it for $150. I told them I recall the offer was $200 per the above, which I'm pretty sure I saw on the website too at the time. The staff member said that's all they have on their sheet, and that if there was this offer, bring something in the said it.

        Does anyone have a screenshot of the deal they can share please?

        I hope they actually honour the deal… I recall others here also confirming with eb games directly before buying…

        Thank you

      • merajaan on 11/11/2020 - 16:34

        The trade-in figures for the Switch quoted above are not correct. I called two different EBGames stores and the max trade-in for the original Switch (not Switch Lite) is $220. The trade-in value has never been any higher than that for the Switch.

            So, console, power cable, hdmi and controller. You can put it in a coles bag for all they care.

            Anything missing you get a reduced trade in price. In the matter of controllers, I think $35 off?

              Appreciate the detailed response. Have all the bits and pieces, but the console and controller are a bit scratched up. Wasn’t sure if they would reduce the trade in value based on condition even though everything works.

        I don't think it's going to launch with great games and Microsoft has put all the exclusives on PC I haven't been on PlayStation since three but at this point I'm kind of leaning towards those guys.

        I don't want to get into the PC world of gaming but even if I was to buy or build a computer just to install the Xbox application it's probably a better idea at this point

          • Sammy Boi on 11/09/2020 - 01:28

            @PaKoRa: That's exactly what I'm thinking. Personally I hate the design of the PlayStation five but if the performance is there if the games are there why am I gonna spend all this money on a next-generation Xbox if it's going to be second to PC because Microsoft thought it would be a great idea to put everything on PC. I've always been loyal to Xbox but we don't really even have a leg or argument to stand behind any more for the best experience people are gonna get a PlayStation and a computer. Even if I don't have the courage to build a computer going to somewhere like PC case gear or even get in a compact pre-build from somewhere reputable with a 3000 series card would have to be a nice option.

      • festivalmayhem on 10/09/2020 - 14:53

    • TEER3X on 10/09/2020 - 11:22

      If you do get a next gen console when they come out, be sure to get the right tv for it. I think you'll need HDMI 2.1 and a real 120hz refresh rate. Going off memory though.

      • sh4hp on 10/09/2020 - 13:43

        GD, so my 4k Aldi TV won't make the cut?

        • TheFrunj on 10/09/2020 - 15:14

          Most games look to be targeting 4k60 so HDMI 2.0 is plenty for that. Only variable refresh and higher framerates are enabled on 2.1 and they are likely to not be used in most titles.

        • RI4V4N on 10/09/2020 - 20:53

          It will. Most games will probanly only be able to get 4k 60fps so you will be good. They always lie and tell some bullshit about higher frames but I have real doubts about a console at this price doing 4k at 120hz in a AAA modern game.

      • Jugganautx on 10/09/2020 - 17:24

  • dwhes on 10/09/2020 - 09:33

    Pretty great deal for 0 hassle and being bale to play your one x up to launch day. Means as level 4 you get $420 off the price! Bringing the console down to only $330! For me that’s insanely good value for changing over to next gen on day 1 with 0 hassle.

    Don't rag on the Series S. As someone who's getting a PS5, Series S is a phenomenal value proposition for a 1080p/1440p next-gen capable machine - especially when combined with Game Pass Ultimate which now includes EA Access as a freebie. If you don't have a 4K TV and don't really intend to for a few years, that's the machine to buy.

              @[Deactivated]: That's fair, but physical media is always cheaper on launch. As if I'm paying $100 for a digital copy of a game when JB and co usually launch at $70-$80. Plus the resale value when I'm done or the fact I own the copy and not at the mercy of MS or Sony banning my account.

          If I had a console I probably would. The Sony/MS digital stores don't usually offer the same discounts as what you can get on PC during sales but used copies sometimes get close.

        People getting Series S most likely won't buy many games, if any. It is more for GamePass.
        And, if you just want 1080p/1440p gaming, you could save a bit of electricity too.

      Sony pretty much has a monopoly on digital games. Unless there is a sale, their games are always RRP. Currently, NBA2k20 which came out last year is still $89 on the PS store. You can get the same game from different retailers from anywhere between $29-49. Personally, the $ you save in the digital only version isn't worth it, as with games, you can always resell or even trade in. The digital only version will lock you into their store.

      Just my 2 cents though.

        Yup. It'll be Nintendo prices from now on if you choose digital only edition. The existence of the disc version will be the only reason games might get cheaper over time.

      The S is certainly a better proposition @$299 with a trade-in but @$499 I think it’s overpriced when compared to the X pricing.

      If I was undecided between the two before the pricing was announced I’d certainly get the X for $250 more.

        Series S is overpriced. But only by 6% more than XSX. I'm dividing US prices to AU prices to get that. SS comes to 60%. Whereas SX is 66%. Even though our dollar should give us 72%… at least 70% would be nice. It's still not PS3 launch price territory. It could be a thousand dollars if they wanted to. They're selling them at cost price almost in the USA.

          Series S is even more overpriced if you consider 10% GST.

          The Xbox Series X is USD499 +GST is roughly AUD755 which means AU price is actually better. Series S meanwhile with GST added is ~AUD453.

          My guess is they're giving a value alternative in the S while keeping the X price competitive still.

      Especially if like me, your xbox is largely a Gamepass machine. Although I'd still prefer the series x as I do buy some physical games and in the long run its better value since you can typically buy a game on disc for $10-30 less than the digital price.

    Are Amazon preorders up?

    • cc23 on 10/09/2020 - 10:05
