[Preorder] Xbox Series X $399 ($329 with Level 4 EB World) ($749 without) When You Trade in Your Xbox One X @ EB Games

3455

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.

    SMH, just got logged out from the payment screen, cant even get back in

    • +1

      Me too 😭

    • Same here. Ended up going to MS website.

  • Sweet got it at 8:01. Had one error upon checkout asking me to refresh/retry, and then I did and it worked.

    Haven't bought any accessories yet eg rechargable battery kit for $30. I'm thinking I might just wait and see how I go since accessories usually go on sale, and I plan to use my Xbox One Elite v2 anyway.

    • Lucky you… I thought I was quick enough but checkout crashed hard. other websites seem OK

      ebgames back up but logged me out and needing me to reset my password. No password reset email…. :X

  • +1

    Lol. I am going to miss this one too.

    EB Games is under heavy load right now!
    Please try refreshing in a few minutes.

    Now

    No stock within 100km of the entered suburb

    Can't punch in my suburb!

    • Did you try selecting it upon login before checking out? That worked for me.

  • +2

    Who else stuck here, represent!

  • I can't see where to select trade in with the online pre-order? Anyone know how?

    • +1

      You trade when you pick up

  • Where is the trade in value listed? i dont see it anywhere on the page.

  • +1

    I cant even get into my account now! (profanity) hell

  • +1

    Yep, I’m stuck too, just keeps having an error on payment for me

  • EB website is chugging now.

    Err how do you do the trade-in deal?

    • It mentions you can pay the balance using various forms of payment including trade ins, and then EB has plastered the trade in value of Xbox One X everywhere with a commitment that the trade in values will be honoured until 31 January 2021.

      • Righto cool Thanks mate.

  • Booted me out twice whilst trying to pay… now says no stock in 100km of Brisbane… faarrrkkk

  • Stuck on payment page…..

    • +3

      same… now it's saying 'too many attempts'

      lol wtf ebgames

      i already put in an order on the microsoft site but i want this trade in as my one x will be difficult to sell for $350 i reckon

  • More popular then the PS pre-order? lol

  • Just order from Microsoft

    • +1

      Get 8% off @ EB though :(

      • Oh. True :(
        Microsoft has free returns tho ;)

        • EB is next to the Coles i shop at twice a week.. :P

      • yep, even preordered my gift card just in case they pulled a Coles and stopped selling them.

  • Website has taken a dump.

  • +3

    This is hopeless

  • I can't see a gift card option in payments. Anyone else pay with one?

    • +1

      From memory it's the third option down, but you need to enter the code in, then the pin, then click verify, then agree to use the balance. It's a bit cumbersome and probably not what you want to deal with during a frenzy.

      • The option showed up eventually, wouldn't go through though. Cheers

  • +1

    “Too many attempts please try again later”

    What the (profanity).

    • same here

  • Gift Card giving an error ?

  • Free shipping over at Microsoft store if you guys can't get your orders through.

  • +1

    yow EB Games management, scalability is a thing you know. lol

  • Got through to the final step once and it failed. This one might take some trying.

    It's up on JB's site, if anyone needs a backup. Same conditions as the PS5, though (no guarantee you'll get it on release):

    https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/xbox-series-x-console-dep…

    • Pre-orders are temporarily suspended
      Due to overwhelming demand, we’ve had to hit pause on taking any more pre-orders. Don't worry, as soon as we have more visibility on stock availability we will re-open pre-orders.

  • +4

    Eh, now saying too many payment attempts because their site timed out. That’s awesome.

  • too many attempts - try again later

  • I can't even see where to pay? Where do I pay?!?!?

  • Now got to figure out if it's worth preordering any games or wait for a price drop hrmm. Amazon has Assasin's Creed Valhalla and Farcry 6 for $69 each, that seems pretty reasonable.

  • Victoria now saying no Click & Collect for anyone else?

    • Probably stuck in everyone's carts :)

      EDIT: Ugh, can't even load the cart now…

    "Too many attempts…" now it's kicked me out and doesn't accept my password.

    What an absolute poop show.

  • +5

    They just announced on twitter that they're all out…

    • +1

      Yeah. What the hell? I started the process as soon as it hit 8 in the countdown timer. I could not get it, so who got it then?

  • website broken try jb

  • +1

    Bah. Apparently they are accepting new pre-orders in about 4 hours

  • Try JB or MS if you want in 2020, otherwise gone.

  • (profanity) off, its sold out - thats was a hopeless waste of time

  • +1

    The Xbox Series X page now shows a new timer, counting down to midday. Weird.

    • +2

      Next lot of preorders, for next year.

      • I thought that would be the case, but the page says: "Xbox Series X Console - Launch Shipment" right above the pictures.

        Edit: you're right. Their twitter says launch batch is gone. Cheers!

  • +3

    oh great… now it just cleared my cart and booted me to the main page after trying to pay for the last 20 mins

    um

    • Same here :(

    • Same.

    • +1

      So damn frustrating.
      Just kept trying to load the damn payment details.
      20 mins of stress for nothing!!!!

  • +5

    Well, that was an utter waste of time. The website crapped itself and put me in checkout limbo until now they're out. Thanks EB!

    • +1

      absolute garbage 5.01 payment hangs and pay again and fails and pay again and fails until none left ….

  • +2

    This is complete and utter BS, the clock on website has now been reset 3hrs and 40 mins

  • +4

    Did they only have three consoles to sell or what? I was trying from the moment pre-orders went live and couldn't get through, now they're sold out?

    • +1

      mine went thru no probs - counter went to zero - add preorder and checked out with giftcard done in 30s.

      • i have a feeling because you selected with gift card it was a payment channel that wasnt being hit as hard as the credit card one.

      • Same here, but minus the gift card. I paid by credit card.

        I actually signed in a couple hours earlier and put down a random pre-order on Cyberpunk just to get my credit card details saved in their system. Not sure if that's what helped me here, but for me it was smooth sailing. Only the final purchase button took any time and it was all of 5 seconds. Confirmation email on gmail is showing an 8:00 AM arrival time.

        • I did the same thing and no luck :( everything pre loaded, clicked within 2 seconds, added to cart and no love

    • I was also on and ready right at the start, must have been luck of the draw.

  • +4

    Trying to complete checkout: Too many attempts. Please try again later.

    Yeah, I don't think I will, EB. This is why I buy from Amazon now.

    • +1

      when is it going live on amazon?

      • No idea, look for a big uptick of scalpers on eBay, it was around 5 minutes before that

  • Is JB stuffed as well? I am stuck with a red error saying 'opps something went wrong' after I enter address for delivery.

  • just lol

  • +3

    That is pretty much a textbook example of how to not run e-commerce.

    • +1

      Nod, this is why B&M is going to dwindle to a niche (well, it sort of already is), because they don't know how to run a website with very predictable load spikes.

      But hey, they sold out, made their money, why do they care?

  • First time there has ever been a rush on something new for these websites, cut them a break :-/

  • +1

    So, does this mean the trade-in deal was just available for that first batch?

    • The trade deal is valid until 31 January 2021

    • Thought it said trade-in deal valid until 31/1/2021

  • +2

    eb are useless

    EB games site sucks. I logged in before 8am to preorder and kept getting stuck at Check out page. Eventually it keeps erroring and asking me to login multiple times till it tells me my login limit has been reached. wtf. Why would you tell customers to try preorder online when your website can't handle the volume. Just let the stores handle the preorders!

  • I missed it too but it says you can pre order again in just over 3 hours

    • +1

      You mean, I can experience that frustration all over again while not getting the console? Yay!

  • Seems it's now 12pm AEST, after two pre-authorisations to my card and constant failing.

  • +2

    BOTs! Coming for our jobs and our next gen consoles!

  • +1

    Maybe a silly question… but are there any hacks/bonus/extra offers to get extra carrots? Be good to up my trade in value before November. But can't see myself spending the $700+ dollars I need to get to the next level.

    • +2

      Dont bother, youre getting sucked into their marketing. Spend $700 and get another $30 off……its not worth it.

  • +2

    What a shit show EB.

    Like everyone I followed their procedure, logged in and ready. Now I have half a dozen temporary holds on my account for $0 but no order.

  • After trying to checkout for 30 minutes it now says pre-order available in 3 hours. Still says launch shipment so at least there's that

    • Eb games on twitter said launch shipment sold out the 12pm is post launch :(

      • Yeah you're right they say that on Twitter but on their website next to the three hour timer it says release date November 10 as well as on their homepage. It looks as though Harvey Norman is only selling the Series S. Might just take a punt with JB. A shame as I wanted to take adavantage of the Xbox One X trade in deal with EB

    • Where does it say launch shipment? They have announced it on Twitter that it will be POST LAUNCH 2020.

  • +3

    What an absolute farce.

    F YOU, EBGAMES!

  • Funny, I got to the point where I could click pay now after credit card info is all entered but all of sudden, the site says my cart is empty when it should say the order's placed lol…

  • +3

    Big EB just tweeted the launch shipment is sold out. I got my PS5 preorder easily but this was an absolute shitshow because everyone knew the second it was up and their website is dog excrement.

    • the suprise PS5 drop worked in my favour, imagine if we all knew the exact drop time. Got a PS5, trying to workout if I want a series x. Still more drops incoming from other retailers so I wouldn't stress just yet @everyone

  • I got an X model on MS store in the end. Thanks for nudda EB!

    The S model is still available on MS store if anyone wants that. No deposit by the look of it, just a CC check.

  • +2

    So sold out on EB & Microsoft. JB's website doesn't let you pass the Delivery/Click and Collect section.

    The Good Guys yet to list it for sale. Where else we trying lads?

  • Got the 'too many attempts' error as well, maybe having saved card details would've worked out better?

    Can't tell if this midday drop is still launch stock or not
    edit: according to eb twitter launch is sold out, midday for 'post launch 2020' whenever that is
