Microsoft has today announced a brand-new scheme called the 'Console Purchase Pilot', which will allow select Xbox Insiders to reserve an Xbox Series X (or an Xbox Series S) for purchase through their Xbox One.
This was revealed in a tweet earlier this afternoon by the Xbox Insider account, which you can see below:
As noted in the tweet, you'll need to head to the Xbox Insider Hub on your Xbox One to register for this opportunity, but not everyone who registers will be selected, so it seems very much a luck-of-the-draw type thing.
Keep in mind this is US only for now, but we're assuming it'll roll out to the rest of the world eventually.
Are you going to try out the Console Purchase Pilot? Let us know down in the comments below.

Brilliant idea! (now must sign back up to the insiders program I previously dropped)
This is a great idea to support the community!
Unfortunately I am not an insider so have to wait like all the other peasants ðŸ˜
This is what all manufacturers should do for new hardware releases. The first wave made available to existing customers through the existing console’s storefront. One purchase per console serial number.
I'd totally be jumping in on this if we hadn't been able to get our two on launch day. But at the same time that's another Xbox available for another insider now. Hope it all works out well.
This is a really smart move. Wish it was implemented sooner, but it’s great that pro-consumer policies are going live.
Would be great as I am an insider but I am sadly not in the US! hopefully this expands to insiders outside of the US once to pilot has been completed
