At the time of writing, there is still no confirmed release date (nor price) for either the Xbox Series X or the PS5. Despite the lack of any official news, however, it seems that a confirmed partner of Microsoft may have accidentally let at least one mystery cat out of the bag.
In a report via TechRadar, Australian company “Telstra” has contacted members who signed up for their Xbox Series X news to tell them that pre-orders for the highly-anticipated console will start to be accepted “very soon”.
Xbox Series X Pre-Orders
Now, in fairness, I could tell you right now that pre-orders for the Xbox Series X would (probably) be starting in the very near future. For this to have come from a confirmed Microsoft partner, however, it’s certainly a bit more interesting than just casual theory. The message sent to subscribers states:
“You’ve signed up to receive information about the Xbox Series X. Pre-orders for the Xbox Series X with Xbox All Access will open soon. This offer is exclusive to Telstra customers – so you need a postpaid mobile, mobile broadband or home internet service with us.”
What Do We Think?
With both the PS5 and Xbox Series X likely to release in November (circa November 19th is my (semi-informed) guess by the way) it is, of course, only a matter of time before the Sony/Microsoft confirm this, reveal the prices, and start accepting pre-orders. If ‘very soon’ is to be taken literally, however, it seems that people erring towards the next-gen Microsoft console may find this information out sooner than Sony fans, and potentially in the very near future! Like… maybe the next couple of weeks.
