There’s no bundle required on Microsoft’s website at all. Hasn’t been required since April 30th so. They only required 3 months of GamePass around April 11th. Before that time was when they required a Game and GamePass. I’m surprised scalpers haven’t tried ordering directly from Microsoft – unless they have their own limits and checks put in place?
Interesting maybe it’s changed. In Canada’s Microsoft store it’s still listed as XSX Bundle.

Previously they had per account limits. Not sure if that is still the case or not.
They still have verbiage of Bundle but the only required item is the base console itself. The rest are all (Optional).
After adding just the console to the bundle:

Refurbished as well. Solid.
It’s currently in stock at Amazon.ca, and has been for at least the last seven hours.

Just checked. The X is even available at the MS Store in Switzerland. It was absolutely impossible to find here for the longest time.

24 hours later, and it’s still in stock. Double
That’s crazy.
Maybe people can’t afford it cause price of gas?

So my daughter has been bugging my wife and I like crazy to upgrade her from her One S…I decided to give her my launch XSX and nabbed another one through All Access…
All Access is so brilliant to me…no up front cost and it’s paired with 2 years of GPU? Pffft such an easy decision.
The process was easy as hell, I had my console within 2 hours of starting everything.
I know some people have an aversion to basically doing a loan for a console but not having to pay anything up front, being able to make a low payment each month or pay it off whenever I want, and guaranteeing myself not having to deal with the hassle of tracking a console down was a no brainer.
Can’t recommend it enough…

All the shops I was checking daily trying to get a series X now have had them and the S in stock for weeks, really seems to have turned a corner at least over here (the UK).
PS5 looks as impossible to get as ever, I’ve not even been close to being able to get one. Not sure what’s happening with Sony but unless it can be sorted out in 5 months I can see xbox sweeping this holiday period.

Especially if Microsoft go all aggressive and discount the Series S.
What can Xbox do to legally promote games such as Call of Duty or Hogwarts Legacy? Both games are tied to Playstation for promotional reasons, but things like trailers can be placed on the Xbox Youtube site. Could Xbox put text like “Call of Duty and Hogwarts Legacy are just a few of the games coming to Xbox this holiday season.” on advertisement material without encroaching Playstation’s rights?
Is there any interest %?
By being available in the stores 
Nope. None at all.

no - but you also can’t get any discounts on buying the 2 years of game pass through a retailer such as Amazon at a discount. Occasionally you can find it marked down to half price or so or buy one get one half off (effective discount of 25%) - might see that shortly for Prime Day.
Still a very cool program though and helpful for people that normally get ripped off by programs charging them high interest rates & sometimes overcharging for the upfront value as well. Rent-a-centers, that sort of place often have done this.
sounds good for families on a strict budget. Get a console right away with all the games you would want…

yup, exactly. I personally prefer to pick stuff up after I’ve got money saved, but I can most definitely see the attraction of this. It’s nice to see stuff aimed at people with budgets that isn’t intentionally taking advantage of them.
