Why am I seeing this Ranked on recency
It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 27% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.70 | +0.175 35% | Ign is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshnessleads | 0.20 | 0.97 | +0.194 38% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
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.
