My grandson wants the new xbox for Christmas but vows not to take the ripoff version which is all

that is available.. Even Microsoft does not like that fact: https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/24/22800255/microsoft-xbox-series-x-bundles-email Any suggestions? You can sign up some places that tell you when one is available but get there in 20 secs and all gone. Try to say can divide the gift between Christmas and BD in January. Says no thanks. I admire his principles but want to amaze him by pulling this off. Any ideas?
