I'd love to buy it from you if you get the second and don't want it. I'm trying to get my daughter a christmas gift, and I'd pay a slight premium if you want, I just can't find one of these goddamn things anywhere haha.

I'm in the same here.
But 1 is save no matter what.
I also got a second order in at a different retailer
You in the UK? If so, I will keep you posted on the situation.

I'm not unfortunately no. I'm in the US, WA state. I understand if that's a deal breaker. Would the shipping be insanely expensive?
Will double check but might be sadly.

Alrighty, well hell I appreciate your response and thoughtfulness anyway. Nice of you to consider it. Wish these things weren't so hard to get a hold of. Maybe Black Friday will be viable.

I think this would be my second post here but well. I currently have a second pre-order from the Poland Microsoft Store that one of my friends is not able to afford. As I hate scalpers, if someone UK based is interested please feel free to send me a message.

Same here. Give us the controller on its own please, Microsoft, it's easy money.

That controller is pure fire
Had 3 elite 2 controllers all had some problems and returned all 3 but I'm willing to take 1 last chance with this

Holy shit, the Microsoftstore is soooooooooo bad
They can't cancel a physical preorder I don't want, but will cancel a preorder I want, where they already blocked the payment made with my Microsoft rewards currency.
No I will get a refund and that shit is going to expire in 90 days and I'll loose 150€
Also whenever I try to contact the support, they always have the wrong person and redirect me to another person that can't help me either.
How can a big online shop in 2021 be that bad and have such a shitty CRM system?

I still have mine to THIS day. (will sell it eventually though..)..this is my go-to for all things Xbox...(aside from 360 exclusives...) and it is what I am using for Horizon 5...as I am eager to the Xbox Series X a.s.a.p ...I am not too bothered about this Halo limited edition "skin"...I really liked the Halo edition version of Xbox One.

MY Series X Ltd edition turned up today.
Sadly the controller got cancelled for some reason
Need to pack up my OG day 1 Series X and head down to Cex to make 1p profit. They buy boxed Series x for £480

I hope with the anniversary today, MS and other retailers drop more of the consoles. I dont think Amazon or Best Buy even dropped yet?

I just got my Halo limited edition Xbox Series X at Best Buy. I'll never play it because my PC is better. I have a problem.
Nice, was there a line/a lot of people at your store, and how many consoles did they have?

You walked in and got one without a preorder?I just got my Halo limited edition Xbox Series X at Best Buy. I'll never play it because my PC is better. I have a problem.

There was a bit of a line. I got there at 7:55 AM, and they opened the doors just for this at 8:00 AM. I was the 69th (heh-heh) person in line. It looked like they had somewhere between 85-100 consoles available at my location. When I got to the front of the line I saw the last person take a ticket (they printed out tickets to hand out, and when they ran out of tickets they were sold out), and then I saw some people get turned away. They looked so dejected. I was pretty ticked though because the person who got the last ticket said, "My husband came through and got one earlier. Is it okay if I get one too?" This lady was definitely not a gamer, and I know this because when I came out with my console she and her husband (they were in their mid-50s) were talking about how much they thought they would be able to make off of them. The people I saw get turned away were teenagers, and they needed/wanted those consoles far more. I felt some rage there.
You couldn't pre-order these with the Best Buy release. This was an in-store only event.

I did this yesterday, and my two Series X Halo editions arrived today. No controller as I cancelled...kinda regret it but for £180 quid and already owning an elite V2 It just felt wrong keeping it.
Can't wait to get home to set one of them up.

Tried to grab one from the last GAME drop but no luck. I’d love one of these and then sell my standard one for £400 to my brother in law.

Pretty cool that you got there close to opening and got one. I just found out this morning ( 7:30 ish ) that BB was doing in store, didnt think I had a chance though considering time and drive. Sucks for the people in line that didnt get one too.
