So it's not going to hurt me to change it to 1 day shipping, right?

And another update from Shipping Today to Shipping Now.
Is this really happening?

Still no change for me, only the order confirmation, and I'm about 1 hour from the distribution center.

It's Amazon. They honor these kinds of fuck ups, no matter which international branch we are talking about here.
Enjoy your Xboxes folks!
They didn't honor quite a lot of Echoes a few weeks back.

I didn't even think of this. I chose one day shipping yet my estimated shipping date isn't until the 20th.

They don't always honor it. They recalled already shipped Echo Dots to stop people from getting them for free.

I've eaten way too many Taco Bell meals in hopes of a Xbox One X. I need this conselation prize of a Xbox One S for volunteering my body fat percentage as tribute.
the xbox price error lasted less. i got a preorder of the SNES mini and it was a bigger window before it died. with the xbox i think it was dead after just 1 minute while the mini was around more.

I tried to switch to 2 day shipping, and it pushed out a day so I switched it back to 1 day shipping. Did yours do the same but then later changed to shipping today?

WHY ARE ALL OF YOUR ORDERS DOING THINGS AND MINE ISN'T

Same thing happened to me when I switched to 2 day.

mine went to wednesday when I switched it to 2 day also, so i switched back to one day
I changed it probably around 9-10pm pst. It was weird I had one day shipping expected 9/12 so I get out of the movies and see Wario post someone who's actually shipped so I said oh well if it's going to get cancelled I'll just see what the date changes to for 2 day shipping since that would technically be Saturday it bumps it to Saturday 9/9 so I try to do one day shipping again in case it fixed the date and it changed it to Monday 9/11. Quickly changed it back to two day shipping still says arriving Saturday.
That might just because it's their own product though.

Got it ordered.
Said Wednesday of next week with 2 day so changed it to one day and now it says Tuesday, which is still 5 days from now... I got an email last week saying their distribution was going to be messed up because if Houston flooding, and I live 4 hours from Houston. I wonder if a warehouse got flooded or if UPS is pulling workers from other areas to service Houston... seems like a crazy long delay.
They are having a deal right now where if you buy an Xbox One S you get an extra game for free...deal expires on 9/9/2017. I wonder if we can manage the bundle AND a free game? When you click the link, it redirects to the Destiny 2 bundle, which is sold out...so I guess if you buy a bundle you get the bundle and a "select" extra game? .....we shall see. I'll be keeping an eye out for an email about picking my game (assuming they don't cancel these.).

It says mine is arriving Wednesday, but I'm in Orlando and I got Irma to worry about so... ¯_(ツ_/¯

Well with that people were ordering 20 at a time and lot people with multiple orders.
But even then they honored a lot of the Echo Dots.
This prob had less then 50 people get an order in

Mine still says Tuesday no matter what I do. I'm like 90% sure mine is gonna get cancelled. All my stuff always gets shipped super late... They're supposed to be building a distribution center here but it won't go up until after October.

Mine still hasn't shipped, though the arrival date moved up to Monday when it was Tuesday.

I'll be shocked if amazon honors these.
Changed mine to 1 day shipping and it says it's arriving tomorrow. Unfortunately I'm in the DFW area so I know there's a distribution center near by which means they probably won't ship until tomorrow morning. So if it survives another day I may be lucky, but I see mine being cancelled

Same. I didn't expect to get it when I ordered it. I don't even want the damn thing. Not sure what I'm going to do with it if it arrives, lol. Trade it in I guess, or give it away, I dunno.
EDIT: This makes me sound ungrateful, lol. Hope everyone who got an order in gets one.

Aye, if any of you wind up with a free Xbox in need of a home, I'll take it off your hands since mine is broken!
What does Amazon usually do here though, give you $5 compensation after they cancel?

Yep, 5 dollar credit on items sold by Amazon. They stealth cancelled my echo and I ended up with a 5 dollar credit in my account.

nothing changed with mine over night, still shipping monday, getting here tuesday. Fuck im nervous, This weekend is going to be painful lol

Yeah, I feel ya. In the same situation. Tried changing my shipping speed, and everything just pushed it back, lol. If it ships Monday, that means they have 3 full days to cancel it. Odds are not looking good.

Ditto! I had my phone right fucking next to me but I didn't look at Wario's tweet because I was playing Destiny 2. I could have used the free Xbox towards a One X ='(
