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.

        Amazon always take down the link before posting. Same thing happened to the ps5, its to stop bots

      This comment on Twitter…

      “So apparently the Xbox Series X did go up for pre-order on Amazon Australia… it just sold out in 2 MINUTES! I missed the entire listing. I was constantly refreshing all the retailers' pages, I have no clue how it came and went without me seeing it.”

      • Thunder-Wombat on 22/09/2020 - 10:30

        Amazon don't delete the listing after sold out. They only delete prior to sale. So I highly doubt amazon have sold it yet, as I was on it before 8am and haven't left the page since

        • Valowick on 22/09/2020 - 10:32

          Yeah. If it had sold out it’d be on the best sellers page.

      • professorhulk on 22/09/2020 - 10:33

        Nah, it hasn't gone live yet. If it had there'd still be a page for the console, it'd just say 'Currently unavailable' the way the PS5 one does now:

  • petry on 22/09/2020 - 09:56

    Well I rang eb games on behalf of a disabled person after they were also locked out of the payment system at 5.01am and eb games flately refused to let me speak to anyone.

    I was very pleasant, softly spoken etc but they were NOT going to take the call so I am of the opinion that
    Fiona Taylor : Finance Director and Steve Wilson : Managing Director - the people listed on their site ain't the sort of people that care much about their 'customers'.

    Sad world these days - not even allowed to ask for help

        well since they are selling more in a couple of hours that's not quite right…and why should he have to go through the same crap again..

          Because when it comes to toys, we don't respect disabled people and give them any priority or head start. We are just mean.

                  Honestly, try to be more prepared for the 12PM round.

                  For me, I am actually more interested in getting the trade in part, rather than the console. I don't need the console right away. However, I am just too lazy to list the console on the Web and posting it is a pain.

                    @netsurfer: in case anyone hadn't noticed most of the disabled ain't rich - they trade in because selling for them is twice as hard

        • sh4hp on 22/09/2020 - 10:26

          The new shipment is expected to be post launch, so it may be for a Dec stock. It may also be the remaining units that were in everyones carts but was not put through due to system overload.

            still Fiona Taylor : Finance Director and Steve Wilson : Managing Director - the people listed on the eb site must be happy that the disabled are so despised round here as well..

            • netsurfer on 22/09/2020 - 11:01

              @petry: While I understand the frustration, you should try to arrange this BEFORE the pre-order, rather than on the day where the pre-order starts. For XBox Series X, it wasn't like PS5, where Sony screwed up, but that ended up allowing some people to get them (as BOTers weren't ready). People are all ready to go this time around.

              Also, no matter how you spin it, even with the trade in, we are still talking about $300+ top up. This is for 4K (or even if you go for Series S, 2K). Not exactly cheap setup.

              Honestly, if you really want to help your friend, get MORE friends to try to buy one for that friend. Or, help your friend sell his/her XBox One X. I know a lot people here raved that they were able to get more selling direct.

                  @petry: I meant chat to EB, Microsoft or one of the retailers beforehand.

                  You are expecting to use the disabled privilege on a day where pre-order mess is guaranteed to happen and want people to give your friend VIP treatment.

                  It's called pre-order. NOT an actual purchase yet. Give retailers more time to think about it and maybe put one aside, rather than complain big time on the day.

                  Using OZBers as scapegoats won't change anything. You complain on the pre-order day, and making it sounds like you want it more than your friend.

                • netsurfer on 22/09/2020 - 11:19

                  @petry: Also, be reasonable. Name 1 game that you can ONLY play on XBox Series X this year.

                    jeez the issue abouts a disabled mate who got done over at 5.01am by eb games site failure - an issue they compounded by refusing to talk about it at all.

                    Its not about me mate - u clearly don't like me like a lot of others round here but the spite and general sneering towards the disabled in general, in this so called community, is quite remarkable.

                    from the consistent negs flying towards me its also easy to see why 50% of the homeless get attacked every night…by gangs

                      @petry: A low stocked high demand item, is going to cause upset for alot of people who missed out. I missed out too, had it my cart but managed to snag one from another site. Eb games weren't targeting your mate, it happened to alot of people and they can't make special requirements for one person over another as that then is segregating people and discriminating.

                      The bonus is your mate can play xbox games on his x and wait till he scores one later. Like the thousands of other who have already missed out.

                      @petry: You need to be realistic. The system failure / issue is expected. Also, to be honest, you are not doing everything you can to help your friend.

                      Another thing, as Aussies, we should be happy for other OZBers who managed to get one. I didn't get one, but I am happy for those who managed to get their pre-orders.

                      There are OZBers here who seem to be associated with EB games. Instead of complaining, maybe get in touch with them to see if they are able to assist. You also need to bear in mind the EB games pre-orders are the HARDEST to obtain due to the incentives (console trade in, EB World Level bonus).

                        As previously stated eb games flatly refused earleir to do anything for the disabled people effected by their site failure at 5.00 am.

                        Everyone can rewrite what they like but the truth remains the truth. All a lot of people have shown here today is what this site really is full of.

                              @petry: Why is your mate way more in need of the newest console than anyone else? No one is in need of the new consoles, we all want but there isn't a need for it.

                              No one is targeting your mate, we are just simply pointing out that there should be no feeling of entitlement to something. So many people missed out, so there is no reason your mate or anyone else wanting this console should get treatment ahead of anyone else. Cause once you give special treatment you're discriminating against other, the system of first served is the fairest system. Yes bots ruined it but that's life.

                              Clearly it looks like your mate had you helping him as well. So that's two people trying in a fair system, JUST PEOPLE MISS OUT

Amazon only remove listing's before actually posting as a way of stop bots being set up as they change the url. Same thing happened for every ps5 accessories and console. Best way to find it is to refresh the series x page till it drops

    • merajaan on 22/09/2020 - 11:12

      Gone now, dang missed out. Delivery only though which means it won't arrive until 16th November

      • eggaz on 22/09/2020 - 11:13

        I got delivery only too, is that a bad thing?

        • sleepingtiger on 22/09/2020 - 11:15

          No, it's not bad haha Not getting one at all is bad.

          • eggaz on 22/09/2020 - 11:17

            @sleepingtiger: Yeah was thinking the same haha, I dont think they were offering pick up, I had time to select it and didnt allow so quickly went for delivery.

        • Valowick on 22/09/2020 - 11:21

          Doing better than me bro

          • eggaz on 22/09/2020 - 11:23

            @Valowick: Yeah its been pretty rough for a lot of fans, pretty happy I was able to snag one, I just happened to refresh and see the big w link at the right time. I hope you get one mate.

    • Valowick on 22/09/2020 - 11:12

        • eggaz on 22/09/2020 - 11:19

          Nah no stock.

          • dbglt on 22/09/2020 - 11:20

            @eggaz: Damn that went quick - got one not even a minute before posting.

        • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2020 - 11:20

          I got one from MS

          • merajaan on 22/09/2020 - 11:25

            @[Deactivated]: Damn did Microsoft restock momentarily? I closed that tab this morning thinking they weren't going to get any more launch stock

            • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2020 - 11:38

              @merajaan: I was just randomly clicking and it just went through. One thing I did do was change the card I was paying with… the next click went through. I suspect that's coincidence but worth a shot

        • Danstar on 22/09/2020 - 11:27

          I have one in cart and trying waiting for it to let me pay!!!!!

          • Danstar on 22/09/2020 - 11:29

            @Danstar: Just clicked "Placed Order" spinning spinning spinning now

              @Danstar: Thank you for your order
              Once your order is processed, we'll send a receipt and any related instructions to

              Heres hoping it actually worked!!!!

              • kazer on 22/09/2020 - 11:31

                @Danstar: same with me. i had it in the cart from an hour back. kept on trying to click on place order. finally went through now.

              • merajaan on 22/09/2020 - 11:42

                @Danstar: Got one too!! FINALLY! I basically selected the Xbox Series X console and hit the 'add to cart' option before the page finished loading (thanks NBN) and managed to sneak an order through. Hopefully it will get honoured and it gets delivered day one (it says 'releases 9/11' in my order history so fingers crossed). Now I can get on with my day. Thanks to every one on Ozbargain for taking the time to let the community know when stock goes up. Thankfully console launches only happen every six years or so

        • Valowick on 22/09/2020 - 11:31

          Got one after it said out of stock for a bit. Wonder if this is post launch? Like in December.

          • Danstar on 22/09/2020 - 11:32

            @Valowick: Mine says "pending" when I go to my orders

              @Danstar: Mine says "Pre-ordered". But no confirmation email yet

          • Danstar on 22/09/2020 - 11:35

            @Valowick: Just got a confirmation email:

            Xbox Series X
            Quantity 1
            Available: Monday, 9 November 2020
            Shipping Method: Standard

            • kazer on 22/09/2020 - 11:42

              @Danstar: did your card get charged?

              • Danstar on 22/09/2020 - 11:45
                +1

                @kazer: It says card will be charged when item shipped

                • kazer on 22/09/2020 - 11:47

                  @Danstar: thanks. just got my confirmation mail too.

            • merajaan on 22/09/2020 - 11:50

              @Danstar: Also just received the same confirmation email. I don't recall seeing a faster shipping option than 'standard' which I would've picked if I saw it (although I might've missed it altogether in my haste to order one). Did you see a faster shipping option at checkout?

              • Danstar on 22/09/2020 - 11:51

                @merajaan: No I didn't. I'm not very confident our orders will go through. I think we cheated the system and ordered it through a back way "configure your xbox order"

                • kazer on 22/09/2020 - 11:53

                  @Danstar: same. i'm half prepared for cancellations/delay.

                • eggaz on 22/09/2020 - 12:15

                  @Danstar: On that screen there was an out of stock when I tried brefore, so you may have timed it right, I also had one in my cart earlier this morning just after 8am and couldn't proceed to pay because there was no stock so you're likely fine and got one. Nice work.

                  • Danstar on 22/09/2020 - 12:17

                    @eggaz: If i go to the configure my xbox page I can still add to card

                    • eggaz on 22/09/2020 - 12:21

                      @Danstar: Really? Could you share the link please? The one i habe says out of stock when i have to configure the 1tb model.

                      • Danstar on 22/09/2020 - 12:28

                        @eggaz: It was from the link above our comments here; but I just clicked it again and it now says out of stock… :(
