If you're still trying, you can give up now. Clicking the final button gives a message saying it's out of stock.

Why won’t they just add a captcha to their sites. It can’t be that hard to add one.

It made me do a recaptcha to even add it to the cart so I guess there really was an army of nerds panic refreshing.

They did, but it doesn't matter if their cart system can only handle 5 people at a time. I'm stuck still waiting on MS to get their poo poo together.

Same here. I hope having it in my cart means one is reserved but this whole thing is such a loving mess. Funny considering how many people back in August were like "pandemic no-one is gonna buy this poo poo" and now we're at Wii levels of fuckery.

Edit: Out of stock gently caress

It almost let me check out once but had changed the card number to all 1s. I've never seen an only store fail that way.

Edit: before it failed, it estimated delivery at Dec 4.

I also had the credit card thing go to all 1's. Sort of absurd considering I've got the card number saved. Oh well. I guess it's back to the waiting game (Screw it I'm playing hungry hungry hippos instead)

I'd much prefer a waiting list. I mean I'm happy to wait I just want to not do this poo poo and spend 20 minutes pressing review order in my day

This is the most aggravating time to buy a new console. My local store has had inventory in the last week, now today they're stating that all new console stock will have to be bought online.

Places like StockX must be making a killing on this poo poo. 770 bucks and I'm sure they take a tasty commission chunk or something.

I got to the "Place your order" button four different times, didn't work, refreshed the item page, still said in stock, added to cart again, got all the way to "Place your order" again, wouldn't go through. Satan rules this earth

I got the same experience you all did. I have a buddy trying to get one for me too (first one I can get is going to my dad) and he got an order confirmed!

Then he clicked order details and it said Cancelled.... great.

Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!
I know new users are important but PS and XBOX really should allot something like half the stock to preorder for players with the current gen console. So if you have a recently active xbox account tied to an xbox one you should be able to preorder in some manner that way.

They had me do infinite captchas because I guess I dared to refresh at 3:00 until it came up.

Then I tried on the app and it kept giving me errors before saying it was sold out.

It's a nice extra chunk. The Lego one is good too. They had a bundle of the extra content recently for $20 including both expansions, so keep an eye out again if that's not currently available around black friday maybe.

Good lord I've been trying from MS direct for like 3 days. How'd you manage it? Every once in a while I'd see it blip in stock and could get it in cart but never. ever. ever. checkout.

I'm in Belgium.

I went to the polish webshop of MS yesterday evening (Belgian one was sold out), placed my order there and now UPS just sent me an update that my box is now in Holland and will be delivered tomorrow 'before end of day'.
I heard the same story for those that ordered from the Dutch MS store yesterday.

sorry :(

Nice, I was just thinking about picking up Squadrons last night. Although now I see that it also comes with a free trial via Ultimate's EA Play, so I'll probably do that first before committing to it

I said come in!

These are some good deals! I hope Sony has their sale soon as well. Would like to get Madden NFL 21 but for PS5.

Yep, the game bombed hard financially even though it sold 3 million copies. Square-Enix at this point is taking a huge loss on the game.

Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!
Knowing that most EA games are coming to gamepass in the future is great and I'll probably never buy a new one again (EA stuff usually sucks and the the sports games are rehashes, better to wait) unless its Skate 4 or a new fight night. That being said Battlefield 5 is on gamepass and enjoyable. I paid 0 attention to the launch so I don't know how much they've added/fixed since then but playing a 64 person Wake Island round is very fun.

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.
I don’t even have an Xbox console at the moment but I’m going to pick up a few of those games on the cheap so they’ll be waiting for me whenever I get my hands on a SX.

Skate and Skate 3 are both BC titles and Skate 3 is part of EA Play, but the original Skate is more expensive...?

Is that the silent hill collection where they removed the fog effects from 2?

In any case, I assume that screenshot is a mistake.

Kind of wanted the X but I'm probably just gonna rock it for awhile and see if I really need the storage and disc drive. No plans for 4K TV anytime soon

Yeah, I've never had anything like that before. I think it's fairly clear that their system is not designed to handle orders where things don't ship out right away. Them continuing to open up orders and not pout any wording that people will not actually receive a unit for well over a month is insane to me as well.

Same thing happening to me also in the US. It is baffling to me how bad both console makers are at selling us the hardware they’ve spent years getting ready to sell. I don’t mean producing and shipping. That’s a whole other thing. But just the basic act of having accurate delivery windows and clear communication about the status of our orders.
