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.

              @cptdandan: Hmm, my service is mobile and I was able to go through the mobile app sign in and go to the deal and sign up, can you do it through an app?

              • cptdandan on 22/09/2020 - 11:44

                @eggaz: good thinking, just tried that but again no luck.

                Rather annoying, guess it just isn't meant to be.

                • bashprompt on 22/09/2020 - 16:36

                  @cptdandan: I had the same problem cptdandan, I called the number and once I got through to someone (after 9am), was eventually able to order one over the phone.

                  I have not received an email confirmation though so still feeling a bit nervous.

                  MyTelstra app chat (with a human, not Codi) said there was a known issue with ordering, very frustrating as I missed out on other retailers' stock trying to order with Telstra.

    New customers must take up the new plan first. Then pre-order Xbox All Access.

    This deal should be targeted. Just worths for those with a Telstra plan

    • eggaz on 22/09/2020 - 13:01

      The description has eligibility criteria, it's not targeted as anyone can take up a plan or switch their existing mobile or internet service.

      • Dienk on 22/09/2020 - 18:05

        So you if I post a deal for Commonwealth costumers, the deal is not target because any one can open a bank account? lol

  • narcoleptic-haze on 22/09/2020 - 13:48

    Anyone else still waiting for confirmation emails? I signed up at 8am and got through to the final "congrats" screen with an order number, but still haven't seen any other proof that my pre-order went through and I checked with Telstra and they couldn't find my order number in their system … but told me to wait until tomorrow.

    • Soluble on 22/09/2020 - 13:56

      I got my wave 2 email pretty much the second I ordered.

      I usually get both, PS has been great with exclusives, but I have found that The Xbox One X has the edge when it comes to graphics, and game pass ultimate is very handy, plus MS has just purchased Bethesda and parent company.

  • pommie on 22/09/2020 - 14:40

    Pulled the pin and ordered it, I was advised I was in the first batch and they are shipping via express courier on the 9th of November and should be here on the 10th. lets see what happens!

    Thanks OP, preordered via this method but in wave 2 so probably 9th Dec.

    • eggaz on 22/09/2020 - 21:47

      Glad you got one, having it this year will be a bonus, it'll be nice to have over the Christmas break.

    • Associatedhek666 @ Telstra on 22/09/2020 - 22:17

      here's hoping its a bit earlier but just in time for school holidays and annual leave.

  • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2020 - 19:05

    24, months contract with Telstra.

    But if you have a Xbox one X, trade it in you get $350 trade in credit at eb games as of right now(times ticking) but you'll need to put down $200 up front, and pay $200 for the final purchase of the console.

    Add 15.95 X 24 months and it's $382 for two years,

    So that's $200 deposit, $200 pick up, and 382 for two years.

    Total: $782 -$33(with slight over flow and you payed the console price, with Xbox game pass ultimate, and saved Telstra fees of almost $400

  • RenVilo on 22/09/2020 - 20:33

    So you need an active contract on telstra?… can this be a fibre line as well or mobile plan only?

    • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2020 - 21:23

      No internet included, seperate purchase

    • eggaz on 22/09/2020 - 21:46

      Pretty sure it can be an NBN or mobile connection.

    Awesome deal if your a Telstra employee

    25% telstra staff discount brings it down to $828 and if paid via tpoints will bring it down to $552 :) + Telstra Plus points

    • danmate on 23/09/2020 - 03:24

      How does one pay with their accumulated tpoints? I don't see any option to do that…

      • JakeTheMuSS on 23/09/2020 - 06:16

        Yeah where is that option?

      • Volution on 23/09/2020 - 09:40

        I think that it is meant accumulated telstra bonus points that you get when purchasing it. The only way to pay via point is to go on their rewards page for redemption of goods.

    • wouldyou on 23/09/2020 - 08:42

      In the same boat as you, but how do you use the points?

      • Associatedhek666 @ Telstra on 23/09/2020 - 10:24

        Im refering to tpoints that are accumilated via appreciate (internal rewards program) . You cannot use telstra plus points. These are 2 very diffrent rewards programs. danmate you use the tpoints to buy telstra credits via appreciate to put against your account credit.

        • AssociatedHmrW @ Telstra on 23/09/2020 - 10:49

          If only we can convert the telstra plus points to credit :(

          I dont think "T Appreciate" program being used widely (within my dept anyway ) :(

      I can set up a fake competition website for the lads and post you guys letters explaining that you have "won" your Series X and should expect it in the mail soon. I can make it look real legit, even have emails that match the URL. If everyone pitches in $5, then I'll get this done, for the lads.

        They would not have sent the email unless they were confirmed the stock allocation from supplier, that's what I think.

  • wordpickle on 23/09/2020 - 17:26

    Also got a note saying my order has moved to wave 1.

  • AustriaBargain on 24/09/2020 - 03:36

    You can cancel early without needing to pay off any further months of Gamepass Ultimate, only the month you're up to. Telstra are still taking preorders, but EB Games aren't. Telstra must have priority stock, they estimate 9 December delivery when I just preordered now. Telstra are at least being told information that EB Games is not.

    • Kessler on 24/09/2020 - 09:33

      Would cancelling Ultimate reduce the monthly repayment to Telstra though?

      • avoidfullprice on 24/09/2020 - 10:59

        No, it's offer as bundled.

        • Kessler on 24/09/2020 - 11:02

    Not worth signing up for a Telstra post paid plan just to get access to this. Would be a great option if that condition didn't exist.

  • aja12 on 26/09/2020 - 14:51

    Does anyone know if Telstra would do a credit check on me if I ordered this, even though I already have an existing account with Telstra?

      • aja12 on 26/09/2020 - 16:08

        Thanks mate, I might hold off for a bit.

        • eggaz on 26/09/2020 - 19:55

          Serious question, are credit checks really that bad? When going in for lending, from experience, if you have multiple checks on your account and there is any concern around undeclared loans the lender will just ask you if you went ahead with it or not, lots of people shop around at different lenders all the time.

          • avoidfullprice on 26/09/2020 - 20:56

            @eggaz: It is applying for credits that brings your credit score down.

            • eggaz on 26/09/2020 - 21:28

              @avoidfullprice: Is that always the case though, not having any credit checks can have an adverse impact too, these days their credit reports are pretty detailed, with repayment history data available.

              • avoidfullprice on 27/09/2020 - 08:02
                +1

                @eggaz: Not sure where you get the idea of not having do credit checks can have adverse impact. I'm referring to hard enquires on https://www.cleancredit.com.au/the-difference-between-hard-a….

                It is up to your future lender how they treat this credit check. If you eventually sign up to this 24 months repayment contract, Telstra likely to do another hard enquiry to make sure you can repay them even if you're an existing postpaid customer as you are increasing your "credit" with them.

          • RenVilo on 26/09/2020 - 23:22

            @eggaz: Yea do not shop around.. i moved to Aus 2 years ago and being new (but with a job) getting finance for a car was a mission. Applied at like 15 places and all but 1 declined me as I had nothing in Aus yet and not even my first payslip. 2 years later I can't get anything as my credit score is still low (around 400) due to all of these inquiries and i get above 100k.. its stupid :(

          • aja12 on 27/09/2020 - 06:25

            @eggaz: The only reason it’s a consideration for me is because I’m currently in between a home loan going from pre-approved to unconditional. As far as I know, the bank runs a credit check prior to issuing pre-approval and again prior to granting the loan unconditionally. I don’t want my credit score to change during that time, I’ll just wait another week.

  • Krondorf on 04/10/2020 - 09:08

    Local telstra store says that telstra are getting 70% of the Australian allocation so that's why we should get it through them..
    Would this be true? Or just then trying to get me to sign up?

    Sorry, we can’t proceed with your order.

    Hi ,

    Thanks for placing order with Telstra.

    Unfortunately, your existing Telstra account isn't compatible with the plan you've chosen. This means we can't proceed with your order and we’ve cancelled it.

    Rest assured, if you’ve already made any payments for this order, these will be refunded in full.

    If you have any questions, please contact us via messaging in the My Telstra app. To use messaging on your device, open the app, go to the ‘Get help’ tab and tap the speech bubble icon. Get the My Telstra app.

    Got it today. They didn't knock or get a sig, just left it outside.. still, it's nice.

    Am I thick, regarding the Game Pass portion? Cannot figure out how to activate it .. Are we supposed to get a code to redeem or something? Can't see anything in the email documents which explains it.

    • narcoleptic-haze on 11/11/2020 - 14:46

      Bit of a mess I think .. Got on to chat, they say just got to Settings > My Account > Subscriptions, and it should be there. But then the More Information when viewing the Xbox All Access part of my Telstra account says: "Token Redemption: Your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate token is included in the console box and must be redeemed to your Microsoft account to activate the service."

      They responded with a "Not sure, give support a call".

      • narcoleptic-haze on 11/11/2020 - 15:22

        Update, Telstra got me on to Xbox and apparently it's a known issue for some people. The console is suppose to have the 24 month Game Pass subscription waiting to be claimed in the "Included with this Xbox" section of Settings > My Account, but on some it's only showing the standard 1-month.

        They said they're working on it and will have to get back to me about getting it resolved.

        • narcoleptic-haze on 12/11/2020 - 16:17

          Further update, Xbox support has got back to me, and apparently I'm supposed to activate the 1 Month Game pass subscription, and it will extend each month in the background as per the contract with Telstra .. I guess this makes sense but I'm baffled why literally no one up until this point could tell me how the subscription worked, not even Telstra who have been offering Xbox All Access for a couple of years now.

          We'll see what happens after the first month I suppose. Happy gaming!

  • RenVilo on 12/11/2020 - 16:23
