*jump to the bottom if you want to skip my boring story.
So my only hobby is gaming. I have a Gaming PC. I always knew I would get a PS5 then eventually get a Xbox Series X later on.
The PS5 was a lucky purchase. Saw people on another forum freaking out that the PS5 was already going for pre-order. So went to Walmart website and pre-ordered it. It said it would arrive 2 weeks after release date, but ended up coming one day after release.
Two days ago, I randomly decided to check Walmart website again just to see if Xbox Series X would be in stock, and I saw the green little cart symbol below the Xbox Series X. Ordered it and it said February 5th is the delivery date. Figured Walmart probably didn't have it yet and they will ship it to me once they do get some stock in from MS, etc. Welp, delivery guy just knocked on the door with the package(2 days after I made the purchase).
So, two guesses.
-If you are in Canada, it is slightly easier to get a PS5 and Xbox Series X from online retailers. (Maybe it is too cold up here for scalpers?)
-I just checked again, there is still a green cart button beside the Xbox Series X. No green cart for PS5 though.
So keep checking retailers, seems the Xbox Series X has been restocked in some areas. Or at least Walmart Canada as of writing this.
