£369? Crazy price. 90 of these. (credit simplemick)
OK, this is a weird one. Heads up, deal? I'm not sure.
You can pay for the Xbox One X (and I assume other items at the Microsoft Store) using your Microsoft balance...
Yes, I only have £1.04 in my account...not far to go now
You can grab a £50 top up from CDKeys [here]. 9 x £46.99 = £422.91. You could use the 5% discount on 2 separate accounts (max purchase 5 per order) to drop the price down to £401.76.
Bargain, right? I'm not aware of any terms or conditions that would prevent this from working. If you know of any please do let me know. I would suggest contacting Microsoft via their chat service to establish whether loading £450 worth of Xbox credit is going to allow you to purchase the XBOX.

Would they charge straightaway if it's Microsoft balance?

I assume it would work in the same way as pre-ordering a game. The amount will be deducted instantly.

It's not from stores or Amazon. We're discussing Microsoft's pre-order methods.

Would be nicer if the X on the box would be on the side of the console, but still looks nice and worthy.
Sony could have done the same with the pro with a PS4 Neo edition.

Like I said it looks nice and totally worth it if you want the X, but imo that X on the box looks really cool. :wink: Don't take it the wrong way.

Good deal, but for some reason the CDKeys code is only giving me 1% off, rather than 5%.

good savings if you plan on keeping the xbox one x FOR SURE If you're on the fence on it, going to try it out and see if it's WORTH 499 then go for a credit card pre-order IMHO I've put a few pre orders up in different places so that hopefully at least 1 gets delivered

Does anyone know if there will be a 2TB version of this and have Microsoft said what versions will be available?

If you were going to this you could buy 90 £5 cards from uk.scdkey.com who are knocking them out for £4.10 thus costing £369, just saying.
