BUT Microsoft It took a while, but it finally brought Xbox All Access to Brazil, the official sales service of its consoles, which combines, in addition to the value of a video game, the price paid for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, the most expensive version of the game subscription plan companies.
But, unlike what happens in the US, where the Redmond giant manages to make the purchase of the product available in several retailers, here in Brazil, the negotiation part, that is, the module of sale, payment and delivery, works. to you from Itaú, which will provide its customers with this opportunity in an exclusive way.
But what is Xbox All Access and how does it work? We will explain it to you in detail.
What is Xbox All Access?
Created in partnership with Itaú and exclusively for banking customers, Xbox All Access is a purchasing method that allows customers to purchase Xbox Series S and a 21-month Xbox Game Pass subscription with an interest-free fixed monthly fee of BRL 170.99. After the expiration date, the console is yours forever.
How do I get Xbox Full Access?
Those interested in purchasing Xbox All Access must access the Itaú, Itaú Personnalité, or Itaú Cartão apps. Once signed in, simply sign in to Xbox All Access from the Benefits menu (in the Maps app) or Products menu (in other apps). The buyer must then select an item in the window and follow the instructions to complete the purchase.
In addition to being an Itaú customer, you must have a credit card with enough credit to cover the total cost of the console, which currently costs 2649 reais. However, there are retailers selling the Xbox Series S for up to R$2,000, which could make All Access less attractive.
Once the purchase process is complete, Microsoft explains that Allied, a partner in the deal, will be responsible for shipping the console to your home. The deadline for Brazilian capitals is 2 business days, shipping is free. Each console has a serial number already associated with a Game Pass subscription, making everything much more practical.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Xbox All Access?
Advantages
If you add the exact and official cost of the Xbox Series S console and 21 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you get exactly 3592 reais. The amount divided by 21 interest-free payments is 171.04 reais, which is even less than the 170.99 reais charged by Microsoft. But if the price is the same, why is Xbox All Access worth it?
console warranty
First, in terms of service, the console initially seems guaranteed, regardless of partner promotions. Of course, if Microsoft suddenly has problems with delivery, she can tell you about it, but there are not many details about this.
installment price
Another point is the price of the parcel. When looking at the profile of the Brazilian consumer and how they buy high value-added products, the price paid monthly, even over a longer period, can make a difference. If we divide the price of both products (Series S and Game Pass Ultimate) by 10, which is the maximum amount allowed in some stores, then the price will be 359.20 reais.
Official prices may increase after purchase, but yours will remain the same
By purchasing Xbox All Access, you guarantee that the amount paid will remain the same until the end. Microsoft have already warned that they could raise prices for Xbox and Game Pass in the future, but this will not change.
Game Pass is always a draw
There are no surprises here. Xbox Game Pass offers over a hundred games to enjoy without limits, and the subscription will be guaranteed with the plan you signed up for 21 months. In addition, Cloud Gaming and Game Pass for PC are included with the Ultimate subscription.
Flaws
No X series
One of the disadvantages of Xbox All Access is the lack of Series X A more powerful version of the new console from Microsoft is available.
The price is really the same
Analyzing it pragmatically, paying exactly the same price doesn’t seem like much of an advantage. On the other hand.
For Itaú customers only
For now, only Banco Itaú customers with the rules already defined above can purchase Xbox All Access.
