We’ll be getting both consoles on November 10. That means us Aussies are getting the new consoles a whole day earlier than the US.

This news comes on the same day that Xbox revealed the launch date for the Xbox Series S in the US, November 11.
It seems that Xbox’s hand may have been forced after BWW Media Group’s Brad Sams showed off what seemed to be leaked promotional images of the Xbox Series S on Twitter. This included the $US299 price point.
Xbox confirmed the the pricing later that day.
Game Pass news

“IMPORTANT NEWS YOU SHOULD STOP SCROLLING AND READ IT THANKS. Starting later this year, @EA Play will be included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate & @XboxGamePassPC,” Xbox said on Twitter.
