Xbox Series X pre-orders to open soon, says Microsoft, partner
It looks like we don't have long to wait to get our hands on an Xbox Series X pre-order. Australian telecommunications company Telstra recently sent a message to customers, who had signed up for Xbox Series X updates, to tell them that the Xbox Series X pre-orders "would open soon" (via Press Start) "You've signed up for Xbox Series X info. Xbox Series X pre-orders with Xbox All Access will open soon. This offer is exclusive to Xbox Series X Telstra customers. So you need a postpaid mobile, mobile broadband or home internet service with us." While the post specifies that Xbox Series X pre-orders on Xbox All Access subscription orders will open soon, it suggests that all Xbox Series X pre-orders will also be available soon. Unless, however, Microsoft only opens pre-orders for All Access subscribers. Xbox All Access is a subscription service that allows you to pay a monthly cost for your Xbox console, instead of paying a large amount of money up front. Xbox All Access should be a more affordable option for gamers to get an Xbox Series X console, allowing them to pay for the console monthly instead of all at once. Telstra owns the exclusive rights to Xbox All Access in Australia.

Xbox Series X pricing on the way?

(Image credit: Microsoft) Telstra's post adds fuel to rumors that Microsoft will reveal Xbox Series X pricing at an event in August, with pre-orders likely to go live soon after the announcement. There are also rumors that Microsoft will reveal the more affordable Xbox Series S (codenamed Project Lockhart) at the reveal event. Microsoft hasn't confirmed this to be the case, and there's currently no date for the Xbox 20/20 August stream, but we expect to hear more in the near future.
