Preorder you Xbox Series X or S via Telstra from 8am 2020-09-22.

This has no upfront cost and it works out cheaper than purchasing console and game pass separately at the RRP.

Also comes.with 30,000 Telstra points for the X and 20,000 Telstra points for the S.

Xbox Series X

$46 per month

Min cost $1104 when you stay connected for 24 months + plan charges

Xbox Series S

$33 per month

Min cost $792 when you stay connected for 24 months + plan charges

Am I eligible to pre-order Xbox All Access with Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S?
You will be able to pre-order Xbox All Access if:
You already have a month-to-month mobile or fixed broadband plan.
You take up a new month-to-month mobile or fixed broadband plan.
(New customers must take up the new plan first. Then pre-order Xbox All Access.) Small business and pre-paid customers are not eligible.

      you didn't do any reading did you? Telstra is the exclusive MS partner in Aus. doing the monthly payment plan.. you do not lease/buy it from MS direct.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2020 - 07:25
        -2

        That's not correct. Microsoft does also sell it themselves: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/p/xbox-series-x/8wj714n3rbtl…

        The difference is that All Access is very slightly cheaper including the 24 months of Game Pass Ultimate.

      • whitelie on 22/09/2020 - 10:04

        Not sure what you mean, they both offer the same payment plan but going thru Telstra you need to have a post paid account. Wouldn't it be better for those not with Telstra to just go direct thru MS?

    • Pelicannn on 21/09/2020 - 23:50

      Pretty sure the Xbox direct deal is through Telstra as well right? May as well go through Telstra and get the points (which admittedly aren’t worth that much).

      • whitelie on 22/09/2020 - 10:01

        If I was to do it, then yes, I'd go thru Telstra as I already have an account with them but there seemed to be a lot of people commenting that aren't with Telstra so it's probably better to go direct thru MS than mucking around getting a post paid account with Telstra just for the 30k points?

  • Murpha on 21/09/2020 - 23:52

    Microsoft just bought Zenimax, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks for $7.5bn cash. The competition is heating up for the next gen!

    • luffyex2010 on 22/09/2020 - 00:19

      Wait for the news…..xbox series x new exclusives coming soon.

      Doom x , fallout x, elderscrolls x, wolfenstein x..and etc

      Now all they just need are to acquire Sega , Software, Capcom, Platinum games, Square Enix and .bungie.

      • gizmomelb on 22/09/2020 - 01:19

        umm they did own Bungie.. don't know if they sold it again later though.

        • bobmonkey17 on 22/09/2020 - 03:36

          They released the company but kept the IP.

          Bungie wanted to be independent but then immediately signed a deal with Activision for Destiny.

          When that turned sour Bungie decided to be independent again.

    When does Telstra start charging you for the xbox?
    From the time of order, or from the time of shipping?

    • robinCTS on 22/09/2020 - 00:57

      Neither, apparently.

      Then once it's delivered, enjoy low monthly payments for 24 months on your Telstra bill.

    • ajole on 22/09/2020 - 05:42

      From the time of order

      What? 2 months early? Why would you even think this?

  • Frayin on 22/09/2020 - 01:51

    I'm still struggling to see why you wouldn't just buy this outright for $749 and get GPU significantly less than RRP, for an overall lower price than $1,104 (total amount over 24m 'lease' period).

    • Osiris on 22/09/2020 - 02:40

      Why do some people prefer monthly insurance payments even though they can sometimes save large amounts paying annually?

            +1

            @ScruffTheJanitor: That's a good point. Paying RRP through a payment plan is pretty decent if you can't afford standalone prices.

            Makes a little more sense to me now.

            It's a shame it's only through Telstra.

    • kasp on 22/09/2020 - 03:33
      +3

      It works out slightly cheaper and I am already forking out for game pass ultimate. An extra 30 bucks a month isn't something I am going to notice.

      The bad thing about this deal is you have to be a Telstra customer.

    • Franckel on 22/09/2020 - 04:26

      How do you get 24 months of GPU for significantly less than RRP?

      • mxlegend99 on 22/09/2020 - 04:59

        I got 2 years and 3 months for around 100 bucks. Deals are posted here all the time.

        Basically you buy cheap 12m LIVE subscriptions intended for Brazil. $45ish usually. Bonus month for setting up auto renew. Stack however much you want. Although cant go beyond 3 years. Then buy a month of Game Pass Ultimate to convert it all to GPU.

          I think people have said this loophole is closing, supposedly before series X launch, but yeah sounds like a good at the moment.

    • bashprompt on 22/09/2020 - 09:12

      The $1104 includes 24m game pass ultimate

    • avoidfullprice on 22/09/2020 - 09:19

      Taking a gamble here that GPU RRP will increase over the next two years, so I'll subscribe to this deal and "fix" my price.

      Suspect the oversea pricing loophole will remain unpatched, but that's also a risk of it doesn't extend current subscription

  • Jimbuscus on 22/09/2020 - 04:06

    Game Pass now includes Bethesda games day 1.

    Microsoft now owns Fallout & Obsidian, I wonder if we will get our Fallout 4: New Vegas.

  • maverickjohn on 22/09/2020 - 06:06
    +3

    Its a saving of approximately $30 over 2 years.
    Game pass ultimate is $15.95/ month
    And console is $749.
    =1131.8 -1104 = saving of $27.80
    I don't think its worth it if that is the only saving you will get. Better to wait for deals on game pass ultimate
    Only works out better if you want the points.

    • PaKoRa on 22/09/2020 - 07:22

      plus telstra points which is of some value.

      • KentT on 22/09/2020 - 09:07

        You get 30, 000 points for series X.

        An extra xbox controller is 27,000 points.

      Plus you don't need to fork out upfront, if that's how you like to roll, it's like an extended afterpay.

      • Associatedrazdi @ Telstra on 22/09/2020 - 13:25

        Can confirm. I was wondering if we can cancel the contract after a month. Will the ETC also be given the staff discount? Nice way to get a nice discount on just the console and just pay a month of game pass ultimate fee.

        • Associatedmindurbiz @ Telstra on 23/09/2020 - 23:41

          Nope, staff discount doesn't apply to etc

  • galileo on 22/09/2020 - 06:27

    Any details about cancelling the plan?

    I would like to get it with Telstra for availability, the 30K points and to test Xbox unlimited for a couple of months.

    If the Xbox pass is not worth it, I would like to cancel the plan and just pay the remaining for the console. Is this possible?

    Are there any hidden cancellation fees?

    • Goblin36 on 22/09/2020 - 07:21

      More details if you look at the current xbox one x they offer, so I assume the details will be basically the same.
      https://www.telstra.com.au/help/critical-information-summari…

      "if you cancel your monthly subscription within the first 24 months, you will need to pay out the remainder of your Xbox as a once-off payment on your next bill. After cancellation, your Game Pass Ultimate balance will be updated within 8 weeks."

    I just ordered through Telstra after it went live. I got in to their first delivery pool and it estimates the first stock to dispatch on November 9th so seeing as I'm in WA I'd imagine I'll get it around November 16th which is still better than nothing!

      No, just very small number of studios that are owned by Microsoft, though they are expanding

    • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2020 - 12:28
      +1

      Includes all new Microsoft and EA Games. Microsoft ownes quite a lot of smaller and larger studios, including now Bethesda, so fallout/elder scrolls etc.

      It had a lot of recent-ish and older non-microsoft/ EA Games too.

      It's basically like Netflix, you'll get all Netflix originals day one, plus a lot of older titles, but new non-netflix films/tv won't be on it till a year or more, and most titles never make it on there at all.

    • avoidfullprice on 22/09/2020 - 10:25

      In the CIS, it says if you terminate your contract early, your GPU will be readjusted.

      So reading between the line, if you could resell, you could screw the buyers royally.

    • Benji on 22/09/2020 - 12:31

      I'm a bit late but, you can't, well not easily.

      Microsoft changed the way bundled stuff works now. You no longer get a code, it's built into the Xbox instead. When you sign in it asks if you want to redeem the code now or later. You could still theoretically sell the Game Pass to someone, but they'd need to sign into your Xbox to redeem it.

      • botchie on 22/09/2020 - 15:17

        So… Guess Ill wait to 12 months left then use the code for another 2 years…. Guess I'll have the pass for 4 more years… Yikes, that's an investment now
