insane to me to buy any console sight unseen at launch lol

Look, I’ve been stuck home doing child care and online schooling. Let me find joy in the few places I can for now. Between now and Nov 10th I can pretend that the Xbox is cool and good.

Got one through MS site after 25~ min of waiting for stuff to load, refreshing, reloading again. But hey at least it went through. Also got one off Amazon in case of credit card issues, that one was super easy and instant.

And I already see preorders up on ebay selling for 1k, who the hell buys it like that when preorders are still ongoing.


People a.) laundering money or b.) buying their own stock to pump up sales for when the pre-orders really do runout.

Not a good idea with Series X in my opinion. Like yeah these pre-orders are selling out, but with Xbox One, people did this and then couldn't sell their scalper priced Xbox Ones on ebay, people actually had to sell them at a loss.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Both my orders went through to PayPal from Gamestop so now I have an extra Xbox, which I guess I'll either sell at face value to my brother or a friend. Whatta poo poo show, I was only trying to buy one but I had two separate orders processed

Got one from Amazon before they were gone. I would rather pick it up in person from Best Buy, so maybe that'll happen. They're still at coming soon though. Wonder what happened with them.

Let me tell you a thing or two about Nintendo products, where buying through a scalper is still usually the best option to get a product

I dunno, the PS4 at a very smooth hardware launch with no issues. I don't recall the Xbox One having problems but the only studying anyone was able to do was how the systems handled being in boxes at Best Buy.

Fair! I had to wait 9 months to get a Switch. I tried constantly during that time. I'm worried that will happen with PS5.

Thanks for this! I'd spent 50 minutes slamming F5 on Target, Best Buy, Xbox.com, and Microsoft's store, and gave up—only to check out that link while sitting on the toilet taking a sadness dump and get a pre-order immediately.

Christ, what a mess this has been.

MS should... just take down the all-access "upgrade now" page, since it just 500s and has for an hour and whatever stock they had must be gone?

Glad to see this is going as well as the 3080 launch

so your telling me you wasn't drunk or fucked up in anyway. when you had sex with me and that monkey
Had it in my Amazon cart twice, and backed out of it twice. I've owned every Xbox console thus far so it almost seems like a tradition at this point, but I ultimately couldn't justify a Series X. My Windows gaming PC is basically the same thing even down to the specs, just a lot bigger and with a lot more gaudy RGB lighting that I didn't ask for but is there regardless. This is a hell of a deal for $499 though; you won't be building a comparable gaming PC for anywhere close to this price point.

Still way better than original Xbox One controllers! That is seriously saying a lot despite the bar being extremely low. I have one of those controllers, it is terrible.

For some reason Amazon is not selling the controllers individually yet.

I’m in the exact same spot as you. I have bought every Xbox at launch, have a fancy PC with a 2080 Super.

But gently caress it, I’m pretty comfortable financially, I don’t mind have it a 4k couch computer and a desk computer.

I got it from gamestop, a company I haven't purchased from since being a teenager (they suck), because they actually buffered the people accessing the site. Still took forever and this was after Walmart and Target let me go through checkout to tell me they were sold out. What a shitshow, feels like we should be better at this by now.

Despite being listed as a participating retailer, I don't think I ever found a page for an all access bundle at target. Their page only listed the one s bundle. And best buy is actively taunting me by changing the "get started" button to "coming soon" as soon as I go to click on it.

The game should just be chilling in your Microsoft store as purchased, should be able to just download it.
