A:AnswerThanks for your question! If you have 11 months of Xbox Live Gold service on your Microsoft account, it will automatically transfer over to your new Xbox Series X when you sign in. Better yet, when you redeem the 24 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate that comes with Xbox All Access, your 11 months of Xbox Live Gold will automatically convert to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. You may have up to 36 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate service "stacked" in your account at one time.
A:AnswerThey only had pre-orders available prior to the official release of the console. Since the console has been officially released, pre-orders are no longer a thing. No retailers are providing pre-orders for when they restock. Unfortunately, anyone who was unable to purchase a console once they were released will have to wait until they restock. They will most likely not notify us of when they will have more in stock. All we know at this point is that Best Buy currently has the console listed in their ad for Black Friday, implying they will have some in stock. But unless you get in line two days before Black Friday, you have almost no chance of getting a console before they go out of stock again. Your best bet would be to wait until Cyber Monday to purchase one online. I don't know when the stores will be getting more in stock, but they will likely have more available between Black Friday and Christmas. You just have to keep checking.
Also, don't buy a console for $2000. That would be stupid of you.
A:AnswerXbox Series X is to launch on the 10th of November this year.
As of now, I haven't had any confirmation as to a midnight (12am) release. In my experience the best buy in store people have said that they dont know.
I am going to assume that whenever Best Buy opens on the 10th is when you can pick up your console.
A:AnswerThanks for checking! Yes, Xbox Series X is multi-voltage, though you will need a plug that's compatible with the country in which you're using it.
A:Answeryou can purchase one with the game pass 24 months and payments and get it in 3-5 days
I did that and ill pay the entire thing off on the first payment, game pass is nice as you just download the games you want/you'd be spending money on anyway
A:AnswerAs far as I can tell, RRT-00001 is the US plug version while RRT-00024 is the same console in all access purchase bundled with game pass ultimate (paid though a credit line payments over 24mo)
A:AnswerA number of reasons:
1) There is a global chip shortage that is affecting all industries from cars to game consoles. This makes it difficult to manufacture the supply necessary to meet to great demand for these boxes. This shortage is the product of a number of factors that you can look into on your own time.
2) Due to the pandemic. the console makers decided that these boxes can only be purchased online as a matter of safety to prevent creating hot spots from people waiting in lines and packing stores. This prevents people from simply walking into a store and buying a console off the shelf. Given the current circumstances, I personally feel this restriction can and should be lifted. This plays into the next reason.
3) Due to the high demand intersecting with the popularity of sneaker culture that also went high tech due to sneaker makers/sellers shifting to online drops as a business model to generate hype for their new products, an entire community armed with bots designed to snatch up the latest shoe drops the moment they are available for sale had no issue adapting their bots to obtain consoles (And LEGO's as well as any other high demand, low quantity, easily flipped consumer good that could be procured online).
Taken altogether, these circumstances contribute to a perfect storm of the average consumer being unable to obtain this scarce, highly sought after product without scouring Twitter stock alerts on the daily, which is how I got mine. Follow Wario64 on Twitter and make sure you are signed into every retail portal there is for easy checkout on the off chance you do get the slim opportunity to purchase a console.
A:AnswerIt sure does...I had one in my cart twice at Walmart, only for their server to be overrun by bots. I even stewed over my "Order Confirmed" screenshot for months before lucking out at Best Buy. My 11 year old was brought along for the pick-up without knowing...The shock was priceless.
A:AnswerPhil Spencer, CEO of Xbox has said in a statement that the Series X console will be limited until the end of June. The console waves we are getting until then will require some luck to acquire. Don’t blame Best Buy or any big box retailer. Best Buy only sells what they receive from Microsoft! Keep at it and you’ll eventually have the console you want. Until then check back daily on any number of websites that carry the Series X and jump on it the second it goes live.
A:AnswerNo one knows, scalpers ruined this launch for everyone. The best way ive been telling people that want a console (xbox or ps5) is through apps that alert you immediately when stores have stock. The one I used was called "HotStock" and is on the play store and the apple store. My friend also used it to secure a ps5.
P.S: I'm not being paid by hotstock in any way.
A:AnswerThey probably won't and even if they do, they don't have any form of bot protection. As sad as it is, the greedy guys who resell them will have their way at least until next year March. Good luck man. Just don't get desperate and buy on the resell sites, let these bots have hundreds of unsold consoles, maybe that will show them
