It was a pain in the butt buying from MS store in the Uk this morning, got through bang on 8:00 but they took ages taking my payment. I have that and an amazon one orders. Will hand one to my brother who completely forgot.

HOLY SHIT this finally worked for me at Target:

  1. Open Cart in seperate tab
  2. Keep clicking "Preorder" on the Target listing / refreshing the page until it adds to cart
  3. Refresh the Cart tab
  4. Checkout
  5. Press "Place Order" 8,000 times because it keeps loading and then going back to the "Place Order" page over and over again
  6. Profit

When does Microsoft charge you for preorders?
I got mine through their store as well. According to their website as long as you use a payment method other than a balance in your MS account, they will charge you when the item ships. I used my paypal, so it would seem that i will get charged in Nov.

A confirmation from someone else would be helpful.

*Pre-order from Target not working*

Target: What the fuck you doing, bruv, it's already in your cart. Go to the cart and buy the thing, silly boy.

Okay...

Target: SIKE. CART EMPTY.

I don't think it's working anywhere since all the consoles were sold the normal way. Not that it matters much - Walmart's site is crashed, Microsoft's site is crashed, Best Buy just popped up but it's still listed as 'Coming Soon'.

I figured they would have set aside some consoles specifically for the All Access crowd. Guess not.

That's what I figured too since there seems to be a unique alphanumeric code on the All Access URL, but I guess not...

I tried MSFT Store first and once I saw it dead at 10:59:55 I pivoted to walmart immediately and was able to get a Series X from there. Only took like 3 out of stock tries before it went through for me. Walmart keeps winning, got my PS5 there too.

Had to hit "Place Your Order" like 20 times, but finally got an order in at Target.

This will be my first ever X-Box, the Bethesda purchase pushed me over. Starting with the Series S to see how it goes.

Well that was stressful and bizarre as hell. Had a hell of a time updating my CC info on MS site, but 25 minutes later...all went through and I received email confirmation. Guess we shall see!

FINALLY got my order through on the MS Store!

Folks, just be patient and let the pages load. Especially if you're stuck on the "review and place order" page. It also took a few trys for it to accept my payment method, just had to keep hitting the button.

Curious about this too, finally got MS Store and a confirmation email, but no notice from PayPal yet which makes me a little nervous.

I got one through Microsoft store. I kept telling it to add, and finally it said I hit max quanitity, even though it never said it added to cart. So I loaded up cart and it was in there. It was slow moving, but I made it all the way through. I now have one through Walmart and one through MS store just in case one falls through.
