Any new pre-orders will undoubtedly happen while I'm at work and I will miss them. I guess I just need to accept that I won't be getting a console at launch for the first time since the Gamecube. I guess I was spoiled by the Xbox One. MS screwed the pooch so hard on that thing I was just able to walk in and buy one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss going to a brick and mortar store and just looking up outside Yeah, I mean really, there's nothing they can do about individual store's infrastructure, but damn. They didn't give Gamestop shit. I went to four different stores this morning and the count was 4, 7, 7, and 10. None of the other big box stores were doing physical pre-orders that I'm aware of. I miss the friendly banter while standing in line. So many like-minded people talking about their hobby. I don't get much of that anymore outside the forums. I'm getting older and most of my friends have all scattered off to the four winds. So usually when I'm talking game stuff to someone in person, it's my wife, and I can literally hear her eyes glazing over. Console launches as we know them are over. This is the new normal. It's sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyena Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Guess I'll just wait for Amazon to get more stock fair warning to those that ordered from Amazon if your console comes threw the warehouse I work in I might be tempted to throw the box around some while unloading the truck 😂😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Was considering preordering the XSX but got totally sidetracked at work. Glad to see a lot of you got at least one in.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Best Buy does appear to be out now. I would have been concerned if was still available for preorder.

Brian Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Lol that name confusion is real.

Biggest misstep Microsoft has done with next gen I almost got confused when I was looking for the Series S. At least the X is a rectangle shaped box. The Series S and the One S at a quick glance when you just want to put it in your cart and check out as soon as possible can look the same lol.

Brian Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 We are humbled by the record-breaking demand for Xbox Series X and S. Huge thanks to everyone for the excitement. 🙏If you weren't successful today be sure to sign up with retailers for updates, and expect more consoles to be available on November 10. 💚— Xbox (@Xbox) September 22, 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaethos Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 So... Bestbuy just let me get an order through. I just kept going back to my cart in the app every 10 minutes or so to see what it would do. I got a confirmation email, so I think I'm good? This has all been very frustrating.

JPDunks4 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 In reality those numbers mean nothing. They pulled One X off Amazon awhile ago and it was only available through resellers and other retailers. 700% could be as little as 7 consoles sold.
