My local gamestop is opening at 8 AM, had planned on going at 7 AM, but i think i may just lug my work laptop with me and wait outside at 6.
What do you mean?If both consoles are so limited, I wonder why they didn't wait longer?
If there was ever any doubt launch day was gonna be a shitshow, this solidifies it.There were similiar numbers reported at Gamestop for how many PS5 and PS5 DE systems they had at various stores and they were very similar to those numbers.
I honestly would trust who told you 12, since that's their standard Covid hours. All of the stores around town that I've called are saying they're going to open at 11 for preorders.My local Gamestop opens at 12 EST, so I'm hoping getting there at 11 will be good enough. I can't get there any earlier because of work. Going to be refreshing Amazon and Best Buy on my phone as back up options.
I think they're referring to having more stock for a massive launch like PS4/xb1
Yeah, I just double-checked with the store, they said they actually are opening at 11. The employee told me he heard that there will be campers, so I'm not liking my chances..... I'm too old and have too many other obligations to camp.I honestly would trust who told you 12, since that's their standard Covid hours.

This is similar to almost every other launch I can remember for pre-orders...I remember waiting all night for wii/ps pre-orders and there was even less of those at the toys r us i preordered from than the PS5/XBOX numbers being tossed around here.I think they're referring to having more stock for a massive launch like PS4/xb1
Good. Hate to see you show at 11 and get hosed. Good luck!Yeah, I just double-checked with the store, they said they actually are opening at 11. The employee told me he heard that there will be campers, so I'm not liking my chances..... I'm too old and have to many other obligations to camp.

If I order at 9:15 in the MS online store, I will get one... in Germany (aka Playstation and PC land)... won't I?
Should I rather try Amazon?

Yeah, I'm def getting that blue.Wonder how many consoles we'll get here in The Netherlands. I expect it to sell out regardless.

Beginning October 14, Xbox Design Lab will be going offline temporarily so that we can bring you some updates, returning in 2021.

Shame the design labs isn't ready to go for the new controller:
I wanted to grab one.
Anyone have experience with MS directly? I imagine they wil guarantee release day delivery ?
If not I am thinking Best Buy or Walmart then Amazon as a back up if necessary.
My plan is to pick a store (Amazon) and try to get a preorder when they go live. If I don't get one...whatever...bad luck. I'll get one eventually after release day.Fun times if there's even less stock than PS5.
Might just skip the inevitable bs and wait till '21
How accurate are the links on the OP btw, the UK Amazon one goes to an "oops" page
Someone that works at Best Buy said they were ramping up their servers to meet demand after what happened with the PS5. I assume the 3080 was much more limited than what the xboxes will be too.The only issue is if bots will ruin everything. Have there been any kind of assurances for Xbox preorders versus the 3080?
it was a quote from an interview he did back in May
Anyone remember the One X launch? I got a project scorpio through Amazon but don't remember it being difficult.
Gaming fans may have as much trouble with Xbox Series X and S preorders tomorrow as they did with PlayStation 5 preorders last week. Supply for the new Xbox consoles is even more limited than it was for Sony's machine, according to multiple GameStop associates that spoke with GamesBeat. Gamestop employees told us that they have around half as many Xbox Series X and S systems as they did PlayStation 5s. This will likely lead to a situation where the console sells out immediately after going up for preorder.
For GameStop, this may have implications for who can even get a system. At least one sales district is emphasizing bundles and attachment rates over "naked" consoles. What that means is that stores will only try to sell an Xbox if you purchase it with other games and accessories. The goal is to get five additional items attached to any one console sold.
This sounds like horseshit. Gamestop is an F tier retailer compared to Best Buy, Amazon and Walmart. Those three are the ones who will get the most stock.
waiting to see them try to bundle games with the S lolDont forget Gamestop will be bundling some of their allocation with games you wont want and accessories you dont need for $850.

Man, you know people in this city love lining up for shit even in a pandemic.I was planning on going to another mall for a Series S pre-order (plus trading in my One S), but I didn't want to go that early. You've made me paranoid now.
Yeah, I'm not hugely bothered if I don't get my series x day one since the launch games are kinda meh and I have a one x. Still want it asap though 😬Anyone else's Xbox One X looking a little shinier now that upgrading might be on hold lol
Doesn't gamestop typically get less consoles at launch at stores? I remember them not having many last time.
