Anyone here preorder both of Microsoft's next gen boxes? Why did you decide to go with the different SKU's instead of the same one. How do you plan to distribute them in your household? Which one is going where and why?

I though about it, but no. The Series X goes in the living room and the One X will do just fine in my office, and the Series X will take its place when the inevitable mid gen revision comes.

I was too late for the S. :( It's sold out as well, right?

I have a Series S preordered but now regret it as I want an X instead. The S seems great but the inferior BC really killed my desire to go with the S over the X.

I just preordered one at Target like 20 minutes ago. It's sold out now but it seems like it comes back in stock occasionally (perhaps cancellations?)

I have a Series X preorder at Amazon and now a Series S with Target.

I will keep looking, thanks.

I've also heard horror stories with Amazon not fulfilling preorders in the past. I hope we don't get fucked.

Got X for me, and S for my kid. He currently plays on a One S + 1080p monitor, so that's quite the upgrade.

I was thinking about it, but I think I'm just going to move my One X to the basement instead of replacing it with a Series S.

So for now it'll be Series X in the living room, One X in the basement. I'll upgrade to a Series S or Series X in the basement when cross-gen games stop coming out.

Depends on the country I guess. In France, Amazon has it in stock right now. In fact, I've never seen it out of stock there.

Edit: wrong quote

Does Amazon France ship to the US? lol

I honestly would trade my S preorder with someone for an X preorder (and pay the difference obviously) but I doubt I'll make that deal happen as I have no interest in paying the inflated eBay prices.

I preordered both. Ended up getting 2 x's and 1 S. I will keep the two X's at home to game share with my kids and the S will be my travel Xbox, for vacations and extended work trips.

Series X for me, Series S + Valhalla as birthday present for my girlfriend. We share the XGPU and we can't wait to jump in the next gen.

Nope just picked up a Series X preorder. I will be getting another Series X for my GF shortly after launch as well so that we can play together.

Tried to preorder both, only could S so far (in Spain).

The availability of the X seems to be extremely constrained as in my local store of choice (Fnac) only one unit was available to preorder the day preorders opened last week.

I have, one for me and one for my daughter. I actually have 2 series x pre ordered with one for my son but I think he may want a gpu this year over a console. He's really getting into cod online and all his friends seem to be migrating to pc.

I got an S and an X. I'm in a long distance relationship, and my partner's TV is 1080p, and I have a 4K TV. So she'll keep the S and I'll take the X. It's mostly just going to be a GamePass machine for her, but it'll be nice to have the full selection of consoles for her again.
