So I took the day off to run some errands and also preorder my series X.

The wife just hit me with the "you know you never took my birthday off this year, right?"

What kind of flowers will make up for this blunder?

I was planning on it, someone yelled out right behind me at the light that it was closed for good, but no one started moving away. They are going to be disappointed for sure.
Ya, they prob think it's a troll and people are being jerks. Tough position :/

Ughh I wasn't gonna buy this, but if I move some budget around, I can, but I'm not sure I should. Third parties on XsX and first parties onPS5? IDK!

Drove by a GameStop that actually closed last week, still has the sign lit up, gates are down, and there's about 10 people standing outside of it.

Do any of the US retailers besides GameStop take trade-ins on X1X? The $200 trade-in value is tempting, but I'd want to buy a warranty with my XSX, and I don't trust GameStop to stay in business during the length of that warranty period.

Was able to get the XSX on All Access at GAME earlier today before the website went tumbling down. Good luck to everyone who's going that route!

I'm curious to see how stock levels are compared to Australia where it was a refresh and they were all gone! How has it been everywhere else in the world?

good luck everyone anyway!

I was feeling pretty good about this yesterday, but something tells me it's going to be the same 'ol garbage as PS5 and 30xx GPUs. We'll see though. Less than an hour to go!

I think they mean it took 3 min for their process, not that the whole allocation was gone in 3 min(?). I've heard X's been lasting up to 15min in other regions.
On EU they did, in Australia the launch allocation went in seconds on our major local and within 25 min at the longest on the MS store.

Tried to go back to sleep but it aint happening. I want all access but part of me says filling out the form for the line of credit will be the difference between securing one or not lol

likely almost no difference between them. If you're not sure, don't buy for tiny differences. Buy for MS first party games or gamepass catalogue if they interest you

Godspeed to everyone trying to get a preorder. Thinking about snagging a XSS to go with a PS5 myself.

Hit her with "your birthday doesn't happen once every seven years" and enjoy the subsequent argument that comes from it.
