Can't believe my luck

Turns out I'm not so lucky. I've had my order cancelled too. "We had an initial allocation of stock from our supplier; however this has now been exhausted due to the influx of orders directed to us from OzBargain." Doesn't seem to matter that I ordered mine before the influx. Penalised for sharing the love. That sucks.

… just pre-ordered one of these. Shipping date approx. 25 Nov 2021

A quick Google search hoping for news that Microsoft had released more stock of the Halo Infinite Console revealed that Sanity is selling pre-orders.

Get in quick. These things sell like crazy!

e-parcel delivery is $9.95 for me. Checking for stock levels shows that there is no stock in store yet, but it's not expected until Nov 25 so that makes sense.

Release date of 25 Nov matches official (now updated) release date for the limited edition console.

No image due to new listing, probably just created the product page.

      I guess you're not familiar with Sanity. They're an established business.

      Go back to Among Us if you want to call things suss.

        imposter!

        Whats wrong with calling things sus

          I'm more peeved at crediting Among Us for the term.

    Hell yes! Can't wait to get the Halo Infinite Dreamcast. Christmas = made.

    Might be legit but even Microsoft's official where to buy doesn't state Sanity

      this alone makes me very suspicious.

      Authorised retailers from Microsoft can't get stock, but Sanity can? Sus as.

        Hi Black26,
        Unfortunately we have not been able to secure the stock so this has been taken down"

    Very sus.

    Uh sanity is still operating

      They are in regional areas i believe.

      • +1

        There is one near me in Brisbane (zone 1).

        • +2

          so regional Australia?
          (don't hurt me or else we will go back into lockdown :P)

          There is also one in Rosebud down the Mornington Peninsula way here in Victoria.

        Last one I knew of in the ACT is now a flower shop… They never had consoles though

      Where else would you go for CDs and DVDs?

      And little else.

      • HMV of course.

    • There are Sanity's stores in Darwin..

  • Paid with Paypal for protection

    • +5

      This sounds like a tag line for a condom… Just saying 😂

    • I didn’t see an option to pay by card at all actually

    • -1

      Pretty sure protection only works when using ebay

      • Nope. As long you pay using PayPal 'Goods & Services' and not 'Friends & Family' you have buyer protection.

  • +2

    the paypal isnt working for me :(

  • +3

    This sounds more realistic: Xbox series X console, Halo infinite limited edition.

  • +1

    Something tells me they are going to sell a lot more than they are going to have in stock.

  • +1

    How are credit cards not an option to pay?

    • +1

      yeah i found that strange also

    • Paypal is not a bad option, get a bit more protection.

  • +1

    Seems like they might not have live or real time stock tracking.
    If this is still up in an hour then be prepared for cancellations.

    When JB and EB did the release it was sold out within less than 30 minutes and they would have way more stock allocated to them than Sanity.

    All the best if anyone does managed to secure one. These are going for over $1500 on Ebay :(

    PayPal didn't work

    Zip went through

    Thanks Op 😊

  • Paypal wouldn't work for a fair while but just went through. Claims the order is confirmed.

    Will be sanity biggest sale day since 2006

    Ordered, confirmation email received.

    Crazy how much the pre orders are selling for on eBay.

    Thanks OP

  • Hope this is legit

    Ordered and paid using my credit card through PayPal. Thanks op, I've been searching like crazy, now I just hope it all goes through.

    extra 10% off with student beans

    or use code: SDC2IB7830

    • That would be brilliant if it works.
      I used cashrewards for 4.2% off, but a 10% discount is unreal on this item!

  • Have been watching the two twitter feeds for months with no luck. Hopefully this goes through.

  • Giving this a punt.

  • Ordered one and Paid by Paypal for the fraud protection. I suggest everyone do the same.

  • I've ordered but not holding out much hope

  • I would be careful. It's never wise to buy only from what's written esp online

    Are you sure it's the Halo version of the console and not a regular console bundled with the game? That's more what the page suggests

    Xbox Series X Console Halo Infinite Limited Edition Bundle

    vs

    Xbox Series X Halo Infinite Limited Edition Console

    Seems sketchy with no accurate description or picture of what you're getting, plus I think they're well over their allocation by now

    sus af

    • +2

      people who negged you are obviously the ones who pre-ordered with high hopes and will keep checking their email every 5 secs for confirmation.

      • +1

        Confirmed within 30 seconds. People who think twice or three times are the one that complain later saying they missed out and complain how they can't get one.

  • Cannot add to cart

    • +1

      Imagine Sanity head office Right now

  • That's all folks

  • Site won't even load now for me

  • -4

    No way I'd be handing over cash to someone like Sanity, promising access to a console even authorised sellers from Microsoft themselves can't get a hold of.

    Very scant on details… and Sanity isn't exactly doing well business wise. Plus everyone knows they are rip-offs normally.

    Neg due to risk and lack of any details.

    • +2

      Thank goodness for paypal and credit cards hey

      • I hear refunds can take up to 3 months (see below).

        Good luck with that :).

        • -2

          Good pickup on the sarcasm there mate.

          Have you heard of a paypal claim or credit card card charge back?

    • +2

      Looks like the people thinking they're getting an Xbox from Sanity are living in fantasy island hence all the negs 🥴

    • My first job out of uni was at Sanity - went through the interview process. Got told I got the job. Turn up first day they said they are paying me 38k p.a. Quit on my first day. Best experience ever.

  • +1

    You need a box of Panadol if you pre-order from them.

  • Can't add to the cart

    • Same. Unable to add item to cart

  • Ordered 1 through paypal. Thanks op. Fingers crossed its legit

  • Well I bought one but not expecting it to arrive

    Brace for cancellations guys!

    The poor admin person who has to go through this mess now

  • +1

    Be careful with this one, they might just get the money then issue a refund. This is one one way getting funds then they will return it after a month or two. It happened before with HP, they were selling 3K laptop down to $600 I think then they said utvwas price error.

    • +1

      That does sound like a price error though. Selling at RRP is a bit hard to state it is a pricing error.

  • Is sanity just about to go bankrupt? Maybe this is a cash grab just before they close down?

    • Liquidation. No refunds for existing orders?

    • +2

      If that was the plan, they would have let more orders go through

    • I'm not sure, but that sounds illegal.

  • cancelled, page deleted

  • +1

    Product page removed hehe

    • I'm pretty sure the whole site was removed.

  • Your refund will be in your nominated bank within 45-90 business days.

    • -1

      They hold onto your money for 3 months?

      Cool… now that's a bargain, for Sanity to invest your cash for 3 months at 0% interest paid to you :).
