Man, only $150 from the One S when traded towards the Scorpio
I got $150 for my OG Xbox One just a few months ago at GS.
Gamestop is brutal. There's a reason why I try not to buy anything from them anymore.

Gamestop is brutal. There's a reason why I try not to buy anything from them anymore.
I'll be honest, my OG Xbox One has been collecting dust most of this year. I'm buying this version for multiple reasons. I want to play the best versions of third party games and also because it is a huge improvement over the launch model. Having a built in 4K player doesn't hurt either.

Ok. I'll give customer service a call tomorrow to see if I can get that rectified.
The 4K Player thing is pretty big to me since 4K Players still aren't cheap. It'd be cool to finally watch some native 4K movies on my Samsung KS 8000. That 65 inch beauty is just begging for 4K content.

The GS Trade In prices are in line with what I predicted before, and I'll happily offload my big ass Xbone for this sleek beast. Hope I can make it to the store tomorrow to pre order.
That Ichijo avatar... lol
Anybody's Best Buy order say "Failed Authorization" next to the payment method? I got an email saying my payment method could not be processed. So I updated it, but it still says failed authorization on the order details page. The funds have since been held in my bank account and the order shows it is processing, so I am probably worrying about nothing, but just wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience.

I never even said that.
I'm saying that "no exclusives" isn't a great reason for people to come in here and shitpost about people who want to pre-order the One X, when there was no issue with people pre-ordering PS4 consoles at launch despite almost nothing being there launch day.
In the end, one of the reasons people wanted a PS4 was because it was the best place to play multiplats. ONE of the reasons. I don't see why that would be an unreasonable reason to pre-order the One X now.

That's gonna be my face to the clerk if they tell me there's no more Scorpio Edition preorders available tomorrow lmao.
To be fair Battlefront 2 will be using the same rendering solution as Battlefield 1, which looks fantastic on Xbox One with its temporal scaling.

Every product is different. I"m expecting the discount on the One X to be anywhere between $30 and $50.

Do they let you keep the trade-in until you pick up the XB1X?
If so, I think the convenience probably makes up for the bad price.

Wait... what? You get less for trading in an OG Xbox One for an Xbox One X then you do for trading one in towards a Switch (at GameStop)? What the hell was up with their "Exclusive Trade-In Promotion" then? You get the same value for an OG Xbox One whether you trade it in normally or toward an Xbox One X.

Only the controller had the "Day One 2013" stamp on it, The console did not have anything different than a standard Xbox One.
If you're talking about me, I'm not shitposting. I'm being honest. I pre-ordered this console for various reasons which include the power that it boasts and its 4K capabilities. The matter still stands though that MS seriously needs to work on their first party offerings.
I can be excited about something, but still critique it. Those two aren't mutually exclusive.
Same here. Boring ass show put me and my wife to sleep...

Cancelled my Amazon preorder.
Bought $600 of Xbox Gift cards for $550 from Amazon.
Preordered the XBO X from MS Store. Comes at 540 with tax. Ended up with $60 in credit.
Plus the 5% of the Amazon card gets me an aditional $27.5 cash back.
So bought the XBO X for basically $522.50 tax included, and "free" $60 Xbox credit.
Should have kept the Amazon Preorder but oh well.

I personally enjoyed what they showed of Sea of Thieves and more Cuphead. But yeah.. Otherwise, it was a pretty horrendous show.

Almost missed out on the Scorpio edition. The Gamestop by my house was sold out, so I had to head on down to the Gamestop at the mall where they still had a few left.
Besides the 3rd parties, I'm looking forward to ReCore DE, Forza 7, the graphic and performance boost, OG backwards compatibility and then Sea of Thieves next year.

Hemmed and hawed about and missed my preorder. Oh well, this is just a Microsoft shortage, not a Nintendo one, so I feel like I'll be able to get one eventually without too much blood and tears.

Why not, they don't charge
I think Amazon does release day delivery so if you paid for two day shipping you still get it on the release date. That's how it worked for my OG Xbox one
Amazon's effed up a few times though with some games this year. I'm just hoping everything goes smoothly for them with this launch.

How do preorders there work? Do they put a hold on your card?
And to be fair it scaling on my C7 will look blurry as hell, I'm playing the first one right now and it's blurry as all shit

"A credit card is required for pre-order, but your card will not be charged until your order is shipped or the product is made available for download. However, an authorization hold or small temporary charge may be placed on your credit or debit card as a result of your pre-order."

Can you apply Best Buy gift cards to a pre-order after the fact?
Yea that's cool. Think I might
Cool yeah I have prime so I had 2 day prime shipping free but $4 for one day but wasn't sure when it would ship but arriving day one would be awesome

I really wanted to get a standard X1X, but pulled the trigger on the SE from GameStop with the credit I got from the 4th of July bonanza.
If I hate the way it looks, I'm sure I can flip it for about what I paid for it, but the system does look real nice with that print. And I have an elite controller, so I'll be gettin' rid of that Scorpio controller pretty fast.

Guess I'm sticking with my Amazon preorder. 100 dollars is just too much for me. Especially since I was assured it would be 50 dollars. Can't do 100 right now.
Also only 150 for a One S trade in is bleh but maybe I can sell mine for more in my local advertisements.

Can you use the gift cards for online purchases?

I thought it wasn't possible, but Wario64 posted on twitter about it and I decided to take the gamble.
If you pay with Microsoft Balance, it charges on the spot though.
Exclusive games mean nothing in regards to this, though. People want to play Red Dead on the most powerful console they can, and CoD, Destiny, etc. Exclusives are nice but I'm playing Red Dead on Scorpio and that's a bigger experience for me than any of the exclusive series on any platform.

..but cry so much I wish I had some
It's still available at the Microsoft Store online if you are interested in or dering from them. That's what I did.
