Back in August, when preorders went up for the translucent green Xbox Series X | X25 Special Edition console, they sold out almost instantly. That was a bummer for longtime Xbox fans who wanted to get their hands on one of these limited-edition 25th-anniversary consoles. Now you have another chance, thanks to Amazon. Instead of doing preorders on a first-come-first-served basis, Amazon is letting anyone interested request an invite to buy this special-edition Xbox (you can request one here ). Xbox Series X - X25 Limited Edition Invite Request Requesting an invite doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily end up being invited to buy a console. But it gives you a chance to be invited, which is better than nothing. As Amazon says, “If invited to purchase, you’ll get an email when the item is available. Not all requests will be granted.” The console is meant to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Xbox.
