You might want to check your inbox if you are hunting for an Xbox Series X. Microsoft has been sending out links to the Microsoft Store that will let you directly order an Xbox Series X bundle. There is a limited supply of Xbox Series X bundles that are available to valued Microsoft customers in the US.
The bundles are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and the emails are addressed to Microsoft Store customers. Microsoft is limiting orders to one bundle per order. The links to order a bundle are unique and tied to a Microsoft account, and don't always guarantee that stock is available for a purchase.
This week, Microsoft has been offering Xbox Series X bundles with a game and extra controller for valued Microsoft customers. Emails have a unique link to purchase a bundle.

A wide range of Microsoft customers seem to be receiving the emails, and it could be a way for Microsoft to make sure its stock isn't going into the wrong hands. The main requirement is that you've been to the US Microsoft Store before, and maybe even purchased an accessory for the Xbox.
If you receive an invite to purchase a bundle, you will not be able to buy the console itself. You can choose between Madden 22, Grand Theft V, Rust, Far Cry 6, and other games, as well as an additional controller, with this offer.
Microsoft warned earlier this year that there will be a shortage of the Series X consoles. Various companies have been impacted by the global chip shortage. Car manufacturers have had to scale back production of vehicles, and it has been hard to find stock of new graphics cards, PS5s, and Xbox consoles.
The bad situation has been made worse by scalpers driving up prices. The street prices of PS5 and Xbox Series X are still high, with an average price of $856 on eBay right now.
