    This is one of those rare cases in our capitalist society where I have to jump through hoops in order to give a company my money.

    I haven't subscribed to Xbox Live for a bit now. Why? Because I can't get the Xbox Series X. They're all scalped.

    Scalpers will not change, it is the new norm, therefore Microsoft must change.

    $500 - console
    $60-100 - Halo Infinite depending on editions available
    $X/month - whatever the cost of the current subscription system is
    $X - Whatever other crap they manage to advertise to me that is interesting

    All of this money, for a single user, is at stake here. The most important thing to me in the Xbox universe is the very first day of Halo Infinite's launch. If I miss that because I couldn't get my hands on a system, then none of this is worth it to me.

    This is not a personal issue story, this is a business story, and Microsoft is losing money on this. I am not the only person who has turned away from consoles because of the recent inability for the industry to pivot against resellers. I know quite a few people who just play PC instead. I actually don't know a single person who owns a next gen console, where they all own a last-gen console.

    As soon as I miss day one of Halo Infinite, the above costs are no longer a worthwhile investment for me, and I'll very likely wait until the system is discounted on a sale or the systems are being resold lower than retail.

    Additionally, I will not buy from a scalper. It's against my principle. The loss of console gaming is easier for me than the loss of my principle in this case.

    Sure would be odd to launch their flagship title without first addressing the issue of resellers.

    Why am I missing money

    Hi Ebk_Sdot!

    Sorry to hear about what happened. Kindly check your account order history from https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders/ if you can see recent purchases using your Microsoft balance. You may check your pre-ordered games (if you have pre-orders) as possible it was taken as part of your pre-order payment.

    If you found discrepancy in your billing activity, please try to contacnt again Xbox/Microsoft support here https://support.xbox.com/contact-us

    Just go ahead and release it now.

    Heres the way I see it. The only real reason I can think of as to why MS is not activating the digital copy is so they can make as much money as possible on the "Digital Pre-Order" Page for Destiny. It's it very unfortunate as they made it sound like the
    pre-order is going away 2 days ago saying it's the "Last chance." And that's when I ordered it. Didn't know Pre-order would go on until the same day let alone a couple hours until activation.

    Cmon MS. Please activate the servers already. This is absolutely not fair to those who purchased digitally in anticipation of playing it first compared to those getting a physical copy.

    How i can remove that?

    The system doesn't see things like spaces, as making a gamertag unique. So since there is another account with that tag, you'll get the suffix. Gamertags are also in use on other Microsoft services, so even if it hasn't been active on Xbox, it may be in use somewhere else.

    Does anyone else believe that the release date will be Nov 19th

    Also, I'd like to add there is a link for mid-night sales active on the website. Sadly, I'd have to drive up to Harrisburg to get it, and my pre-order was for pickup in Lancaster.
