Obtaining an Xbox Series X Halo bundle

docpotz04 · Dec 4, 2021

Hi there,

I know everyone is playing the waiting game with the current supply chain issues, but I've been trying to get my hands on a Series X for over a year without luck. Background - I am a Halo nut and only want to play the new campaign on a Series X. I'm playing the multiplayer now on my Xbox One and it's phenomenal.

When the Halo bundle was announced, I went into overdrive, keeping tabs on websites, Twitter, and the like for all of the most up to date info on restocks. Then I heard that Microsoft was randomly emailing people with links to buy a console bundle. I have toggled on my alert emails in my account and still nothing. I realize that this isn't being sent out to everyone, but is there any way this can be sent to me?? I've been keeping tabs on my SPAM as well. If you email me a link for a Halo bundle, I will buy immediately.

A guy can hope, right?

Thanks

:)

There's no way to request an email to be sent to you.

I figured. Pulling out my hair at this point.

I am fine paying a little for a Halo Series X Bundle from legitimate businesses like Microsoft, Bestbuy etc because I’m actually getting other things (Hopefully extra things that I truly need) at price point versus scalpers who sells it at a profit above regular price we supposed to pay.

However you are right, scalpers have won because legitimate companies like Microsoft or Bestbuy are doing these Bundle tactics to offset scalpers from scalping up all the inventory and now we regular consumers and loyal Xbots like myself have to pay more than the standard price of $550 that would cost me to buy a Halo Series X console bundle. Again I’m not happy with this but I would pay more for this console bundle from a Microsoft or Bestbuy retailer and REFUSE REFUSE to pay any scalpers on eBay or other websites like stockX for their gains on us.

All I hope is the Bundles that MS puts together are items that I truly need and want & don’t own yet because I already own alot of accessories except for the HALO SERIES X console. I keep looking at my emails a few times daily hoping I get a Microsoft invite to purchase the Halo Series X. Been an Xbot since Day 1 when they launched in 2001 and my first game I bought to play on it was Halo. I got the Xbox console for Christmas that year. C’mon Microsoft, send me that special email with the link to purchase the Halo Series X console.

Are you seeing "FIFA 22 Ultimate Edition Xbox One & Xbox Series X|S"?

It's the edition or bundle that includes both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

If this is the standard edition it will say if it's Xbox One or Xbox Series X game. The Xbox One version though is playable on Xbox Series X as well.

From what I can tell, to access the Series X version of the game, you need the Cross-Gen bundle...once you buy that, you should then be able to download and install the Series X version. Without the cross-gen bundle it will, presumably, just install the XB1 version

From the Store page:

"For digital owners of the Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War Standard Edition, this upgrade will unlock the Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War Cross-Gen Bundle, giving access to the Xbox Series X|S version of the game. After upgrade purchase, search in the Xbox store for the Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War - Cross-Gen Bundle to install the Xbox Series X|S version of the game."
