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.

          Will it make you saltier if I said it already sold with the payment sitting in my bank account for about $1300 while still having another preorder which I'll sell to desperate parents closer to Christmas?

                        There are others on this site who aren't going to resell, but who have tied up two or three preorders at different stores to keep their options open as they seek the seller that will offer them the earliest access to stock.

                        There are certainly times when resellers frustrate the hell out of me, but if someone is that desperate to purchase at close to twice the cost, there will always be a second tier market…

    Another reason to get the Series X.

    https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/seagate-xbox-series-x-sto…

    It's $359 for a 1TB expansion card. Which suggests that the extra "features" (which includes a 4K player) the series X has only cost us $70.50 after storage price is deducted.

    Granted the card will come down in price over time, but as it is now, pretty unbalanced benefit.

    • fookos on 25/09/2020 - 22:30

      Can't you plugin an external SSD? How am I going to backup and transfer my games from my Xbox One X to this if you can't plugin external storage?

      I'll do my own research, but the above is my initial reaction!

      • Spendmore on 25/09/2020 - 22:43
        +1

        I'm pretty sure there is a local wireless transfer from x1x to xsx. You can plug in conventional storage you won't get the instant loading from games on there though.

      • sh4hp on 26/09/2020 - 08:19
        +2

        Yes you can, but you cannot play directly from the external HDD for Series X optimised games.

        So if its games that is not optimised to Series X, yes, you can use an external HDD. But I would think most of the upcoming games (AAA titles or even some random cooking game) that will be optimised to Series X will not be (or rather can be for previous gen games optimised to Series X but the point below will come into play)

        Also the fast loading time (based on their example 50s to 10s for a 100gb game) and seamless transition between games that is being marketed will also not support the external HDD games.

        It may also just be a marketing gimmick to sell their expandable storage.

  • changot on 30/09/2020 - 00:22

        Just got a call from local ebgames to confirm email, they said ebgames will send some updates soon. I've cheekly asked about my queue in line and they told me I'm within first 10 in line, so very hopeful for the launch day release!

        • fookos on 30/09/2020 - 19:35

        • changot on 30/09/2020 - 22:00

          So you currently preordered the post launch right? if that's the case why did they need to confirm your email? did you order via guest?

      Whew awesome glad to see others get bumped up too!

      I asked their Twitter about being in Vic and trade in etc a while back and this is the response I got
      (I asked about PS5 as at time I had post launch XSX)

      “ Hey there,

      The current roadmap should see our stores reopened by launch on 12th November. If this is not the case, the current trade deal will be honoured when stores do reopen for trade.

      Click & Collect is already available at most Melbourne stores. However, we would require the full remaining amount to be paid off before collection. Due to current Victorian Government Regulations, we are unable to accept any form of payment instore at this time.

      If the store is not open on the release date for the trade in, there are other options, such as Gift Card payments over the phone for you to collect your console.”

      • fookos on 14/10/2020 - 22:12
        +2

        Sounds fine as long as the advertised trade-in rates are honoured as cash refunds (given console will have been paid for already) and not trade-in credit.

        Thanks for sharing.

        • TightTerry on 14/10/2020 - 22:32

          Didn’t take from that EB response there would be cash refunds available at a later date for trade ins? I’d imagine it would be credit given at a later date meaning potentially having excess credit and paying the full amount on release day

        • JMxoxo on 14/10/2020 - 23:04

          Yeah I am curious if they will be cash refunds or paid back to the card.

          I imagine they will be honoured though, surely…

          We can hope they will be open but I’m not holding my breath.

          • fookos on 14/10/2020 - 23:48

            @JMxoxo: Surely EB will have to honour it as cash against the Series X - after the fact - given the circumstances in Vic (if stores can’t reopen).

            I know it was supposed to be for trade-in credit against the purchase but there will be some who won’t want the box if they have to shell out full price, and then end up with $400 of store credit. I certainly don’t want that.

            Hopefully one of us can get some clarity around it.

          • TightTerry on 14/10/2020 - 23:54

            @JMxoxo: Really can’t see retail opening in Victoria before December

              @fookos I agree it would be crap to end up with $400 store credit or in my case $800 after the two consoles lol. I don’t think we will.

              • Nom on 15/10/2020 - 10:20

                @JMxoxo: The stores are open right now for pickup of online orders though.
                Surely they can just setup an online page for our trade consoles, then we pre-pay the remaining balance and just take our trade consoles to the store when we collect ?

                  @Nom: I’d be happy if I even had to thorough clean and sanitise the console and drop it off a week prior or send it in. But who knows, I might give my local a call in a week or two and see what the go is if nothing lockdown wise changes.

    • TightTerry on 14/10/2020 - 22:30

      Need to know the same. In the pre-order madness I used another email and checked out as a guest. Hoping I can use my level 2 card and get the trade in bonus

      • Megumin on 14/10/2020 - 23:04

        I was trying to get a preorder in at the same time as my brother whose account is the level 4, mine went through but he never got past the checkout. I'm hoping that it doesn't matter what account it was purchased on for the trade in deal.

    • Megumin on 15/10/2020 - 12:23

      Rang up EB and received an answer for this. They said yes you can use the Level 4 for the trade in and put the credit towards a preorder on a different account.

      However they did also say that there was no extra trade in bonus, so the current trade in values are the normal ones. Not the ones that were from August that people were posting saying that they would be the same for this preorder deal.

      Only checked PS4 Slim 1TB which was $301 for trade in credit.

      • fookos on 15/10/2020 - 13:19

        Apologies if I've misunderstood your comments but, surely, that can't be right. The whole deal that EB pushed was the trade-in deal - and that's what set them apart from other retailers.

        There are posts further up in this discussion that confirmed (anecdotally) that EB would honour the trade-in bonus until 31 Jan to ensure those getting the second wave of stock would still be able to action the offer.

        Not many would be trading in their consoles last month, and then having no console until receiving their Series X - particularly those who weren't sure if they were getting their console on launch day or later.

        • Megumin on 15/10/2020 - 13:59

          See that is why I decided to ask when I rang because posts here were saying that they would honour the trade in values from August for all the consoles.

          I rang three different stores (in Queensland) and they all told me the same thing, that they would only give $301 for level 4 card for the PS4 Slim 1TB with the trade in deal to go towards the preorder.

          So unless that is the price with the extra credit bonus? But then that means the values that were posted here were incorrect because the August trade in value was $360 with Level 4 not $301.

          I can't help what I've been told by thier staff, I'd advise people to contact thier local stores and actually check to make sure.

          I would love to be proved wrong as I was also intending on trading in for the higher amount ):

            @Megumin: I think you got your numbers wrong…
            TRADE DEALS FOR LEVEL 4 MEMBERS (20% ADDITIONAL)
            The PS5 Physical will be $388 when you trade in your PS4 Pro (Level 4)
            The PS5 Physical will be $448 when you trade in your PS4 Slim (Level 4)
            The PS5 Physical will be $485 when you trade in your PS4 OG (Level 4)
            The PS5 Discless will be $239 when you trade in your PS4 Pro (Level 4)
            The PS5 Discless will be $299 when you trade in your PS4 Slim (Level 4)
            The PS5 Discless will be $334 when you trade in your PS4 OG (Level 4)

            Your PS4 Slim will trade ion for the $301 they have quoted you INCLUDING your Level 4 bonus.
            Without Level for the trade in will be $251
            The $360 Trade-In bonus with Level 4 is for the PS4 Pro

            • Megumin on 15/10/2020 - 14:32

              @not4us: Thanks for that. I've just looked back through the comment thread, seemed I've been misinformed as to what pricing EB were actually using for the preorder deal.

              There are a few comments early on stating that it was the same values for PS4 as it was back for the starlight trade in deal which isn't the case. Never saw the updated pricing list anywhere either so didn't know it had changed.

              • luffyex2010 on 15/10/2020 - 15:51

                @Megumin: Just traded a ps4 pro towards ps5 yesterday

                $376. 19 trade in value (eb level 5) hope that helps.

                Which the base is approx $300

                FYI Xbox one x base is $350. if that helps.

                Your multiplier is 1.2x

                  @luffyex2010: Imagine getting just $26.19 more at max level compared to the base $350.

                  It's kinda weird, as EB staff has told me multiple times whenever I asked about the trade in values of PS4Pro vs X1X (we are talking up to Nov 2019), pro has always been atleast $30 more than 1X.

                  Maybe it's a Sony directive? Like that one time deal to exchange a PS4Slim to PS4Pro, which was a direct Sony deal that EB just facilitated.

  • Frayin on 15/10/2020 - 01:10

  • [Deactivated] on 16/10/2020 - 01:27

    Seems EB games have revoked the trade in deal for the Xbox one X, and acknowledge the one s as the only trade in options.

    Crosses fingers it's a joke, if not Xbox one X sold on eBay and no sale for eb games.

    Either way I don't lose out.

    • Nom on 16/10/2020 - 01:47

      Have you got a link to this change ?

      • [Deactivated] on 16/10/2020 - 03:24

        On their website it states only the Series s on the pre order page, for all Xbox related s/X, but no mention of Series X trade in, only Xbox s on.

        So it's not a matter of link change, but priority change, because there's no reason to redact it from the site.

        So you can see why I'm suspecting it's changed, unless someone else can confirm.

        • Nom on 16/10/2020 - 09:54

          Right, I see what you mean - I think that's just because because they are no longer taking orders. Stock is backordered for months, and the trade deal only works until end Jan, so it makes sense for them to take it off the site. Not sure why they haven't removed all of it though…
          It'll be fine for those of us who already have a confirmed pre-order.

  • luffyex2010 on 16/10/2020 - 09:34

    Nothing has change, but they will be having a VIP console trade in weekend soon for ps4/xbox one with 50% more trade in deal for the games*.

      Yes I got 2. I've got a XSX and PS5 pre-ordered so i'm assuming it's got to do with that

      • bubber on 19/10/2020 - 12:28

        Yes, so did I, thanks for clarifying.

    • applebernie on 30/10/2020 - 11:48

      Just checked my order and I didn't have that item.

  • TightTerry on 18/10/2020 - 11:54

    Retail opening back up on November 1st in Melbourne :) - pending any huge outbreaks between now and then.

    Just in time for trade in and release of the Series X!

  • Danstar on 22/10/2020 - 16:21

    Just got an email that my Xbox series x bought from MS store is being shipped to me on October 28

  • PaKoRa on 23/10/2020 - 17:18

    whats the status on tradein for xbox one x towards preorder xbsx @ eb? i am told $350 and thats it, no eb world level bonuses apply?

    • Megumin on 23/10/2020 - 17:21

      Someone posted this list in a different forum thread with all the trade in prices: https://imgur.com/CGBHQyR

      Pretty sure the prices are without EB World % added on top.

      • PaKoRa on 23/10/2020 - 18:58

        thanks for that, yeah based on that image it doesn't say explicitly no EB games level bonuses - i have emailed EB games CS to get confirmation… will report back here once i get a response - this tradein T&C seems open to interpretation for CS @ each store…sh*t like this should be clear cut.

        • Megumin on 23/10/2020 - 19:32

          I was told over the phone that trade in for PS4 Slim 1TB was $301 with Level 4, so that chart does match up if you add the EB World % to the prices. Eg. $250.95 + $50.19 (Level 4 20%) = $301.14

        • Nom on 23/10/2020 - 23:28

          It is clear cut, check the emails they sent out a few weeks ago 👍
          Specifically the one with the subject "Xbox Series X | S Preorders Start Soon! Learn more here."
          It quotes me the prices "including my EBWorld Level 2 Bonus"

          • PaKoRa on 24/10/2020 - 01:52

            @Nom: looks like i must have deleted that particular email, have received email response from EB Games CS re: this, so now have on record that eb world lvl bonus applies - when i visit my local store for tradein/ pickup…hopefully vic metro is on track to open 1st week NOV.

  • Branchus on 23/10/2020 - 21:27

    got a phone call from EBGames chatswood store lunch time today, confirmed my launch day xbox and asked me when I will be in store to pick up the console

  • TightTerry on 28/10/2020 - 12:51

    Great retail is now open again in Melbourne - think i will drop off the old console for trade in on the Monday to avoid potential queues on the Tuesday, that way i can just pay the difference on tuesday and pick up and go.

  • changot on 29/10/2020 - 22:45

    has anyone traded their xbox one x @ eb games? how much did you get?

    i traded my xbox one x today and got 350$ only even if i’m eb world member level 3.

    it should be 350$ + 15% (52.5$) right?

    • GerrardLFC on 29/10/2020 - 23:25
      +2

      You should have received member bonus trade in value :/

    • TightTerry on 29/10/2020 - 23:27

      Eh? No trade in bonus?

    • ElectrkJonesy777 on 29/10/2020 - 23:27

      Did you trade it towards a next gen console? I’m assuming you did being in this thread and if you did it should be what you calculated, if not the value would be lower.

      • changot on 29/10/2020 - 23:52

        yes it was for the XSX. I did the trade in today together with some games which had the vip trade week bonus of 15%.

        I kept asking the lady who assisted me but she said nothing is showing up for the trade bonus of console.

        Is there photo or a flyer or official announcment link article that indicates the trade in for next gen console bonus for eb world members? So I can return and show it to them. I couldnt find any.

        • changot on 30/10/2020 - 00:10

          here is also my receipt for today's trade. listed as well the games that I traded in for reference.

            @changot: Hopefully others dont have the same experience - sounds like it might be a bit of a shit fight

              @TightTerry: UPDATE:

              Called EB Customer Service to clarify the issue, They agree I should've gotten the 15% console trade in bonus so they called the werribee plaza store to fix the issue and finally was credited the $52.50. Justice! haha!

              • Hybroid on 30/10/2020 - 17:44

                @changot: I was told there was a special trade-in bonus event from 3-9th November for PS4 trade-ins towards PS5 (i.e. Level 2 +10% bonus becomes +20%) would get double bonus as well as higher trade-in rates for 'select' games. Is this not the case for Xbox too? Did anyone inform you about that?

                • TightTerry on 30/10/2020 - 18:10

                  @Hybroid: The bonus is for game trade ins not consoles which I’m pretty sure changot got
