Thats s tough one. Was it for Scorpio ver.? Ive read that there might be multiple waves of shipping from amazon. If u DONT mind not getting the Scorpio ver., Bestbuy has normal X still up for pre order. I ordered one of those as a backup Incase amazon dropped the ball. Got my Pro on launch day last year from Amazon, didnt find out date on it until week before.

Yeah I just preordered through Best Buy for in store pickup for the regular version. I have talked to 3 different Amazon people just to see what they said. Received 3 different answers.
What I am seeing is if you don't have a notification saying you're getting it soon, you aren't getting it Nov 7th. They don't have enough of the scorpio editions, which sucks because i preordered as soon as it went up.
This would be a total bummer for me since I actually cancelled my Best Buy Scorpio Edition because I got my Amazon one in. Lesson learned.

Amazon Rep just told me my pre-order of Scorpio it's out of stock. When I asked how come I wasn't told he signed off. hahaha, wonderful.
Might have to go to gamestop now.

Yup basically what happened to me. I'm done with Amazon. They used to be good with the prime discount and great with games/systems(I got my PS4 Pro/PS4/Xbox One through them on time no issues) but ever since certain games came out 2K Bball, EA Sports games, they have been terrible. What happened to me with this release, is just unacceptable.
Praying that Best Buy comes through as it says my order will be ready for pickup next Tuesday.

I got the same bullshit answer today I preordered the moment it went live and paid in full.

I'm so mad right now.. Amazon still says my order is processing after calling them. FML. Wife pre-ordered it as soon as it went up.. any ideas? So salty..
Yes for the Scorpio edition which as a collector is what I want most. I also have a Best Buy one in case so hoping I get one.
Your date doesnt change until your local warehouse gets them in and put in to inventory. So regardless of how many times you call or chat them if your warehouse doesnt have any it acts like its going to ship from farther away.
Yeah I still haven't given up on getting it on time. I spoke with chat the other day and was told I should still get it on release date.
You will always get people on amazon support that just look at the information and either assume incorrectly or get told misinformation from a superior.

Added a normal preorder on BB as well. Could care less what edition it is. Will give Amazon a bunch of shit, cancel prime, if and when they fail me again.

Does Best buy charge upon shipping or when you pre order?

I believe they place a temporary hold the moment you place the order, however that falls off in a few days, and then they have a recurring hold every so often i believe.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Im amazed as it says not available for pre order on the Scorpio and the standard says delivery end of November.

Does the coupon work online too? Like could I trade in my Xbox One S on Wednesday and place a pre-order?

Sold my XB1 S 1TB and a copy of Titanfall 2 on craigslist for $200. Not bad considering it was the Gears of War 4 bundle and I originally paid $230. Got the XB1X pre-ordered on Amazon, just wish I could find a Scorpio edition to pre-order. I can't wait though!
I just ordered a standard edition from Best Buy since Amazon still hasnt given me a date. I was charged the full amount when I placed the order.
I selected in-store pickup. My store is supposed to allow pickup on November 6th at 9:01pm. . Dont know if that might impact their descion when to charge versus having it delivered.

I'm just going to wait out the Amazon order. Don't mind getting it a little later than day one but would want the Scorpio edition.

Do I need to be a member of their club thing to use the coupon?

Is that only with a trade in towards one? I'd rather get it from target where it's 5% off and a Scorpio.
I got the same response from them just now. I'll just now until I get a 4k TV before getting a one x. That or a good deal on a normal one. Amazon has really gone down hill not sure i trust them for any major purchases in the future. I should see about canceling my prime to be honest. I'll miss fast shipping but 100 a year is to much when these mistakes are so common lately.
I've checked the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition 1TB Console, it's now back-ordered. I'm sorry about this.
To make up for the delay, I've upgraded the shipping method from two day shipping to one day shipping.
Although the shipping method is faster, it'll take time to get the item. As soon as we receive more stock, we'll ship your order and send you an e-mail.

Has anyone sacrificed a chicken yet to the delivery gods to make sure they look kindly on us next Tuesday?

If Amazon screws up again I am done. They have screwed up so much lately and their customer service is so shitty now.
I already paid it off so if they do this they are screwing me,

You know I almost agree. I get that if supply can't meet demand then nothing can be done but DON'T OFFER PRE-ORDERS YOU CAN'T FILL! But my complaint is their overall crappy service.
They used to be so much better. I never used to have prime and back in the day they treated all paying customers pretty well and only prime members would get 2 day shipping and maybe some other small benefits. Any order would be at least packaged and shipped fairly quickly. Then I noticed it got to non prime members having to wait several days to a week just for the items to prepare for shipping. Then add the slow shipping on top of that. Now even as a prime member items that should be here in 2 days aren't even shipped yet that should be here tomorrow yet they are still preparing.

Oh man...I am nervous now...
Went to Gamestop yesterday and they laughed at me ( lit-er-ally ) ...So I was pissed this morning and burned my $150 Amazon card on an X1X pre-order...Am I fucked? I am in the mid-west US. I have always had god luck with Amazon, but this thread has me chewing my nails.

I highly doubt you're getting it Nov 7th. When people like me who preordered the minute we were able to on Amazon and are being told the product is on back-order, highly doubt it. I recommend Best-Buy if you can.

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
Ended up canning my preorder. Bought a decent laptop for destiny 2 (Alienware 17 with 1070, i7and gsync 1440p). Dont play a ton of games any more besides destiny so dunno if Ill will continue to invest in consoles.
Hope it great for you all but sure Ill beable to play any MS games I want on the new laptop

I am such a lazy idiot. Wanted this since the moment they announced but waited until the eleventh hour as always. Maybe I will try walking into a few places on launch day. I suppose if I get an email from amazon that says sometime in the next couple weeks, I will be OK with it...
To clarify most of us are talking about the Scorpio edition as I am. Reason for being upset is because those are limited to only how many they make/made of that launch edition. A standard edition I wouldn't be as worried about.

So looks like we are getting screwed for the scorpio edition if we ordered from Amazon.
I ordered the minute it went live.
I was told the same shit by the rep. That he was upgrading my shipping to one day. What the hell does that even mean? Release day shipping is standard.
Fingers crossed, but I don't think this is happening.

I preordered the Scorpio Edition from Amazon on August 20th. I received my email from them October 26th, indicating that it would be delivered on Nov 7th.

Question
So amazon seems to still be taking pre-orders for xbox one x, yet no mention if they will ship out on release day. Has anyone pre-ordered from amazon recently?
I am not interested in scorpio model as i do not care for the writing on controller or console, I am asking for regular model.

We do, except this is the message we're seeing:
Basically, we haven't received notification of shipment, because our orders haven't (or won't) be filled because they can't (due to limited supply).

Ahhhh...hope restored!!!
A little anyways. Sorry for those of you who went in for the Scorpio edition and may not get them...that's a total bummer. If I were just a few years younger, I would have pre-ordered that, but I am a no-frills gamer these days. Good luck all.
