so popped into game today to check about pre ordering , the lad knows me in there and said is your lad buying one also to which i replied yeah he will be coming with me to pre order his.
guy said he thinks it will be limited to one per household like the ps5 ?
sure you could order from two different places or do you need to register on ms site or something

Have you got a link to that please? The girl in-store seemed to think it'd be fine.
Surely if you pre-ordered through Microsoft themselves it would all be online?
Microsoft aren't doing it. It's just Game and Smyths. That sucks if true, I have neither shop anywhere near me.
EDIT: Smyths have a Home Delivery option so it's not "Click & Collect" only there.

Looks like its just online pre-orders

Great, thanks, was going to go in-store at 8am to do it, I have to go past it on the school run anyway.

Hmmm that’s interesting if true, that if you preorder online with game, you then have to go into the store to complete it.
Going to see if symths is the same.

So you could end up with a credit agreement but no Xbox?

lol could very well end up that way. What doesn’t make any sense is if they want to open pre orders then fine do it that way but only for outright purchases. If someone wants to buy it with credit finance then they should make it clear that customer will have to go to a store to do a finance agreement.So you could end up with a credit agreement but no Xbox?
But let’s see what happens next week, I just find it silly that it’s a “hey pre order online and do it with a finance but in order for it to be completed, you will have to go into a store”
.I mean I could call up Game and find out but I’d rather not be waiting on the phone for hrs just to speak to someone, who then may not know him or herself.
You can hot swap the 1TB SSD carts on the Xbox.
I think there's a button on the expansion cartridge, so I wonder if this initiates a quick disconnect or just locks it in place.

Alright so just got an email from Game and they said that you do not have to go into a store if you pre order online and do it via the monthly payment option.
I asked the person to confirm it, which they did. So that’s a relief as I don’t really want to go into my store to do the whole pre order thing.

According to Game you can do it via online or in store.
Well after watching the PS5 stuff, I feel pretty confident that getting XSX is the right choice for me at this time. Yay.
