Got one at BB just now. Keep mashing pre order.

 

[New Yorks Finest]

Got 2 Xs for our house and couple of S's for the Holidays, surprise gifts...and big ass W for me in the morning hunt, cause it was getting ugly out there on the internetz.

 

[sainraja]

Looks like Microsoft decided to also keep the price of their new controllers same as last gen and not up the price unlike Sony. Good move. This is New Zealand pricing.

Well, it's the same exact controller with a new button and a slightly smaller (I think?) profile. They shouldn't charge more for it.

 

[frogger]

Just got one from BB as well. Do it quick!

I am spamming, still wont let me add to cart.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Did you get one yet frogger ? I added you to my post so now I'm personally invested lol
Edit: we posted at the same time

 

[Chiggs]

Finally got one through Best Buy. Nearly 3 hours of refreshing bs.

That is unbelievable. What the hell is wrong with them?

They've now had three disastrous pre-order events under their belt in less than 10 days.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

I wonder how many Amazon UK got allocated, like half a dozen or something?

 

[MarkMe2525]

GG everyone, I'm out of here.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Got one on at bestbuy canada, never tought I would be doing this 48 hours ago lol

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Managed to secure one through Best Buy Canada as well, just in case Amazon.ca screws me over as per usual.

 

[Silent blades]

hope like hell BB doesn’t cancel these.

 

[Goldpanda94]

Welp, I reached the final "Place Order" button on Target, Best Buy, Amazon, and Xbox.com but none of them made it all the way

There is a smaller Gamestop just down the street from me that opens at 12.... I wonder if that'll have pre-orders available.

 

[CAB_Life]

They’re sold out on Amazon.ca now. Took all of 10 minutes. Fingers crossed I don’t get one of those emails...Pretty sure I was amongst the first (along with 1000 bots) to find it in search, though.

 

[Xenon]

Woot got in at BB on mobile! Was clicking on the link for about an hour straight.

Amazon.ca put them up when I wasn’t looking and sold out in no time, lucky you got in quickly on that one.

Red flag deals had a link to the Amazon preorder page all morning. Amazon just put them up really late and at a random time. I was busy fighting with the Best Buy webpage and missed it.

 

[JLMC469]

Damn it! Nothing ships to PR. Nothing!!!!!

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Pure chance. Ended up checking the buying options and only Amazon has them. I'm not expecting them to actually ship it on time so I'll probably just stick with the Best Buy order.

 

[Dozer831]

Thinking about cancelling my PS 5 preorder and grabbing the Series X. Im not sure If I should do that now.

What your guys thoughts?

If you have a gaming laptop or PC I wouldn't cancel your PS5. It all depends if you want to use gamepass and miss all the Sony exclusives.

 

[dolabla]

Best Buy sent me a confirmation email. Amazon still hasn't and it's been around 2 hours. Guess I will keep both of these for around a week or two just in case one of them tries to cancel and hopefully I will have a backup option.

 

[KAOS]

Bajesus!!! Imagine if they would've had Halo Infinite!

 

[dano1]

Still available at Best Buy after 3 hours
Hmmmm

 

[Jigsaah]

I just got one from Best Buy. It wasn't available earlier, but now it is. No xbox all access option though. Just the full fat 499.99

I'm holding this one because who knows when I'll get a 3080.

Damn Bethesda announcement made me cave.

 

[dolabla]

Buddy just text me that the local gamestop only got 6 preorders. Is there a shortage? Same gamestop got 14 ps5 preorders.

 

[Birgitte2004-2]

Still available at Best Buy after 3 hours
Hmmmm

Best Buy was "coming soon" for most of that. I only finally got in about 10 minutes ago after checking on and off for hours.

 

[DjMystix]

Best Buy just worked! Don't give up guys.

 

[Akuji]

Series S still avaiable on amazon.de ( germany ) that ones looks like its not so hot.
But Series X is sold out, dunno how many they had avaiable, in germany there are xbox players but Playstation is way more popular, maybe a good sign for m$

 

[Strider Highwind]

I don't need one, but when I load the best buy site(Chrome apparently isn't friendly with their site) through a diff browser it goes right through yo

 

[supraman1120]

Buddy just text me that the local gamestop only got 6 preorders. Is there a shortage? Same gamestop got 14 ps5 preorders.

100% a shortage. COVID supply chain impacts not fully recovered in time for the level of production needed to meet demand. Expect shortages into early 2021.

 

[Bungie]

Best Buy has a warning about it not being there on time due to high volume right before you hit buy. Does best buy charge you instnatly?

 

[sixamp]

As it stands
Best buy
Walmart 1 ps5, 1xbsx
Target
Amazon 1 ps5, 1xbsx
Microsoft store

 

[Subterranean]

I was able to get one on Amazon earlier but I am not putting my full trust in it as they cancelled my 3080 order.

 

[ManaByte]

Got mine through MS:

 

[Bog]

I’ve gotten 3 and didn’t even try most of the links I saw. It’s not hard, people.

 

[Iced Arcade]

3 hour shit show process. God I hate best buy

 

[Jigsaah]

I’ve gotten 3 and didn’t even try most of the links I saw. It’s not hard, people.

See any Xbox All Access?

 

[SpartanN92]

Just got mine through Best Buy. Had to hit the pre order button for 20 minutes straight though

 

[Rob_27]

I wonder how many Amazon UK got allocated, like half a dozen or something?

I clicked on amazon before 8am then kept searching it eventually popped up and was unavailable like wtf. Been unavailable ever since.

Game website has been dead for 6 hours. Then came up.

Currys had a wait of 80k

I went to local game store. Had gone through 25 of 50 by the time I got there at 8:45am.

 

[Bungie]

Got mine through MS:

Just now?

 

[Jigsaah]

Looks like Target still has some available too, at least in my area.

 

[sixamp]

How are Xbox's available on bestbuy now?

 

[Jtibh]

You can get it on every canadian website.

Plus they even reduced the price??? Cheaper than ps5

 

[ManaByte]

Just now?

No at 8:19am this morning.

 

[Jigsaah]

I think Xbox might be doing something really smart. Staggered pre-order launch.

Best Buy was out of stock, then got new stock. Same with Target and Walmart. Then someone here said they got it from Microsoft Store. When I checked and about 9 Am PST it was out of stock. Maybe this is how they beat the scalpers?

Amazon US: Someone mentioned this morning that they received an e-mail already that said their Pre-order would be delayed. I've yet to receive such an e-mail, but I'm curious about the rest of y'all. Mine doesn't have an estimated delivery date yet - you?

[RayHell]

Bring on next gen.

Wake me up on November 10

 

[Leopold]

I had a X360 and a Xbone but I will for the first time skip a day one acquisition of a Microsoft console. Hope you guys enjoy it and are able to get one - looking forward to read your impressions!

 

[EtherMagic]

Been trying Best Buy since 10am, now 1:30pm and finally went through with the PreOrder. Whats weird is within 10sec of me going on my House Computer it went through, the furthest i got with my Iphone 11 was CheckOut and it kept crashing for hours.

Not sure why it went through so quick on my all in one but crashed on my phone. I also had to get it shipped to me, it was not allowing Pick up. Atleast i got mine, all that matters!

 

[Goldpanda94]

Just tried Best Buy again and got one and already received confirmation email woo

 

[megatronium]

I read amazon is sending delay emails is it true I didn’t get one yet?

I have not received a delay email.
