Why Fanatec has Xbox hub sold out without future ETA. It sets almost all xbox option out of stock. Is there plan to discontinue xbox support?
@Maurice, I am aware it is not your responsibility, but it will be great if any colleague could clarify it. I am Xbox user and I do not have clear picture about extend setup or switch the platform and I am aware I am not the only one.
In fact, there will be a firmware update soon which enabled enhanced Xbox support ;-)
When a product gets sold out without a new ETA date when it becomes available again then it just means that we simply dont know when the product will be available again. This does not automatically mean the product is discontinued or that even a console compatibility completely gets dropped when there are still other products with the same console compatibility available. Tbh, I dont even understand how one can come to this conclusion that the Xbox support might get discontinued when just one Xbox product is temporarily sold out...
Ok, found one, ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2.5 X. Myabe that one is in stock if the website is telling right information. But I am not so sure about that wesite, is adding ramdom prodcuts to shopping cart and all other stuff, so maybe it is, maybe not. Login there and my shopping cart has like six rims and hubs and everything,, I have never added them there..and they are popping every time there, clearing shopping cart, chnaged browser and etc, nothin helps. When this has beem fixed, I can consider to order something, but waitedd few months already, nothing is happening.
Thx for clarify it and hopefully this firmware comes really soon... and games add functionality :)
Regarding how one come to the conclusion of xbox supports will be slowing down till finish, let me give you my observation. This is just to help you understand customer point of view:
-In last months many new products and agreement with Sony and nothing with Microfost.
-In last weeks in lenkrad section of website only 3 of 16 xbox compatible product available, rest sold out.
-there are many example of products sold out that so not come anymore (e.g. Sparco steering wheels).
-now I see bigger discount in BF is for Forza Motorsport wheel.
If we add that nobody from company clarify you are working in provide more xbox hubs... we, customers, have some doubts.
In any case I take your message to confirm this hypothesis is wrong and I will keep the idea of extend xbox setup. Unfortunately not in this BF, as there are not offer for steering wheels with the hub. Let see when it comes again
I don't like how the sale is structured, what if I want more than one product? I either pay multiple times and probably more for shipping or risk missing out on the item...
The CSL DD QR2 Ready2Race WRC Bundle is part of the sale but it is sold out apparently (due to the QR2 part being unavailable). Is it going to be restocked in time (meaning tomorrow)?
As you can see in the chart which was shared with content creators, the bundle will be sold with a metal QR2 Wheel-Side tomorrow due to the QR2 Lite Wheel-Side being out of stock in the EU.
So no, there wont be a restock of the normal version but only the Black Friday Week version with the metal QR2 (for EU) tomorrow.
thank you for your answer. Now when I click the CSL DD QR2 bundle through the Black Friday announcement, it is bundled with the QR2 Lite Wheel-Side. How can I replace it with the regular QR2 to be able to buy it as a bundle?
Just want to make sure I don't miss out on this offer, so thank you for your support!
You cant. The deals are not live yet so it just diurects to the "old" regular bundle. It should change to the "new" bundle with Metal QR2 tomorrow once the deals went live. Note that this only applies to the EU where the QR2 Lite is out of stock. In US, AU and JP the bundle will get sold with the QR2 Lite.
The WRC Bundle offer just came live. Oh boy, I seemed to be the only one excited for this and they butchered it... Was waiting for an entry into the Fanatec franchise and they threw in clubsport pedals, so the offer is 650 euro. Need to wait for Black Friday to end to get myself a good deal I guess. Or go Moza...
I got the boost kit 8.40. Lol been checking all night and here in the evening it's still available. Bought the brake performance kit too for the V3 inverted to save the shipping costs and an iRacing voucher for 1 euro. The best part is that it's ready for shipment, which i feared hearing about the last black Friday delay. Great that Fanatec is back on track.
Completely agree; why the hell the CSL DD bundle couldn't just have the QR2 lite swapped I don't know.....or maybe I should guess - how about a £250 extra cost guess - a £650 bundle now rather than £400 bundle 😏
I want to say, why fanatec do not show out their QR2 M-type discount this time?😡 I don't understand why they can't hold that discount to normal day, you know, who need QR2 base side type? Only those old base owner who pay a lot of money for their whole product. Last year BF I miss that update part. I have bought 2 DDF1,1 DD2 for myself and other 4 DDpro gift to my bro s, and because of that miss, we have to use QR1 till today, and after one year waiting, it doesn't change anything, no $20 typeM, still have to update my base with $150/per base? Because of that, maybe we will sold out all my fanatec and go to Moza or Thrustmaster, they are now coming great, when fanatec stop their step last year.🤪
PS: Moza base is very cheap and powerful, only $400 can buy one 5nm base with wheel and pedal.😅 That's why I feel angry about Fanatec. Only QR2 base side and wheel side update will cost a whole Moza station, and root cause of that is they sold unfinish products, QR2 should have been equipped in DD series at the beginning. Player support them with love and money, and they push a rubbish decision for feedback.
Well that was the only bundle available - if that deal is now gone, then there are no $400 ones available, only $700 +. Not a good incentive for 'new starters'. I've today ordered a Moza R5 bundle, which was more expensive than the CSL DD, but much less than anything Fanatec had live on their store. Dropped the ball sadly! 🙁
Comments
Are these discounts confirmed by Fanatec?
Yes.
Thx for confirm!
Then I still have the concern mencioned here:
Why Fanatec has Xbox hub sold out without future ETA. It sets almost all xbox option out of stock. Is there plan to discontinue xbox support?
@Maurice, I am aware it is not your responsibility, but it will be great if any colleague could clarify it. I am Xbox user and I do not have clear picture about extend setup or switch the platform and I am aware I am not the only one.
There are no plans to drop Xbox support.
In fact, there will be a firmware update soon which enabled enhanced Xbox support ;-)

Which xbox product is available to order?
Ok, found one, ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2.5 X. Myabe that one is in stock if the website is telling right information. But I am not so sure about that wesite, is adding ramdom prodcuts to shopping cart and all other stuff, so maybe it is, maybe not.

When this has beem fixed, I can consider to order something, but waitedd few months already, nothing is happening.
ClubSport Formula V2.5X, CSL Elite McLaren V2, CSL Elite WRC.
It would be nice if you search for "xbox" that you will find all for xbox.. Just saying.
Not very good deal for black friday i think.
Ugh no Black Friday deal on CSL Elite V2 pedals this year? The only product I was looking for....let down.
I was hoping there would be a black Friday sale on Clubsport DD+
I already have the CSL DD with the 8nm option. I was looking for more feedback, but 1K is a bit more than I want to spend.
it looks like they not even add DD2 discount like they made last year. sounds like it was one time offer only
Thx for clarify it and hopefully this firmware comes really soon... and games add functionality :)

i usually also look what others offers, fanatec is not only one who have or comes the Black Friday

Clear! Does it go live on midnight (CEST) or some time in the morning?
It's 00.42 nov. 26 but boost kit is not 33% yet ???
https://forum.fanatec.com/discussion/31966/housekeeping-update-6#latest
4:01 AM out of 3 offers on the https://blackfriday.fanatec.com/#nov26 page only 1 is actually honored, the handbrake.
Is there something wrong with these sales? There will be an occasion to get the WRC bundle?
Thanks
they pop up soon at in US and Europe
Hello all,
Does BF started in EU? I keep refreshing the page for WRC bundle but the same price with out of stock QR2-lite appears.
