They probably have way more stock allocation than the X.
Seems that way across all shops. The series x sold out in five minutes on amazon.

UK: Xbox Series X/S pre-orders on 22nd September start at 8am (retailers listed)

For sure, but based on some numbers from stores, they're shipping the X at a 5 to 1 rate, demand is lower but so is the stock.
It's not that desirable of an item. People who pre-order consoles are enthusiasts, so they'll gravitate towards the Series X instead. Even after launch I can't see the Series S being all that popular.
Happened to someone in this thread. Everything set up with the credit company and then GAME shut down their website.
I actually thought it would be the other way around. Microsoft going in hard with the all digital edition.
Really shitty situation. Hope you can get it sorted swiftly.
Ah fuck it, I'm happy with an S. Stressed myself out trying to get a Series X then realised I don't really give a fuck about 4K.
Launch pre-orders are all about the enthusiasts, so no surprise X sold out instantly. I think S stock will be more important Black Friday - Xmas for casual audience and in general going forward.
Yeah it seems to be the opposite so the PS5 where they had way less digital.
Will be interested to see if we get a rough split from retailers later on.
Me too, but I guess I'll be emailing Klarna later to cancel the DD as game shit the bed.
I honestly expect it to be more popular. A friend of mine who's a lifelong PlayStation player is for the very first time actually considering an Xbox (secondary machine), specifically the Series S as a gamepass machine.
Don't think there will be any pre warning regarding all access pre orders going back live.
Seriously how can it both retail sites are down and hours later still down.
Agreed.
That tweet doesn't bode well for Series X All Access orders either.
Yeah, that's true. Casuals will be the real test for series s.
PS5 was 25 digital to 75 physical right? Yeah this is completely different it seems.
Somebody on that tweet time line is claiming the AA is a separate thing, with it's own dedicated stock...
From that tweet I took it as they are separate so in theory whatever they had for all access still remains full. I'm assuming MS would be allocating thousands of all access consoles, well I'm hoping anyway.
My amazon smile order from 0758hrs this morning is still standing :)
I don't really need the series X as I gone down the ps5/ pc route for next gen so I won't be disappointed if it's get cancelled, but nevertheless I managed to order one, just in case :)

Yea, but we don't know if that's just a different market allocation strategy. Maybe MS expects that right now, people won't be going to stores - and even if they are, it'll only be the really hardcore. Do we think that OVERALL stock of Xboxen are down too? Or is that just the way that physical allocations are getting done? We just don't know.
Yeah you would think they would prioritise all access if anything.
Smyths are now selling the series s non all access model. The series x is showing as out of stock
All access still appears not to be working

Only another 7 or so hours until XSX on AA is available then /s
Hoping I haven't been charged multiple times on the Microsoft Store, clicked Buy and got error messages every time. Eventually managed to get the £479 Watch Dogs Legion bundle from AO.com and received a confirmation email with order number, item, price, delivery address, etc. Was so, so stressful but I'm glad I got it done.
Game customer service replied and said they were aware of collect at store display incorrectly on ordered confirmations, but if you didn't pick a store to collect from, your order will be delivered to your home address.
Smyths selling the Series S now indicates that they had a bunch of stock for "stores" and a bunch of stock for "online"... When the website went pop it looks like they just shifted it all to in store.
Absolutely farcical.
Absolutely farcical.

I'm not getting the option to do AA.
Still says: "Apologies, there are no Xbox Consoles currently available for Home Delivery."
The banner has gone from the AA page, but still says no consoles available for delivery to me
As of now, I've personally seen no-one say they've nabbed an X through them
So weird
Potentially bringing one sku online at a time? Series S first, then Series X, then Series S/X AA?
That's my guess
