Xbox Series S/X Preorder Mega Thread (Worldwide Preorder Details in OP) - Starts Sep 22nd
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
THANK GOD I managed to secure one through the Microsoft store. I actually stood up all night because of anxiety over this this whole mess and just before preorders went up... I completely crashed and fall asleep because I was so tired. I woke up 15 minutes later and somehow managed to get me one but damn that was close.
Good look to everyone else!

Happened to me. I let it sit in edge browser and after several minutes it populated and I could check out.
That's what I'm trying for. Keep getting the error though
Got through, now it's giving me issues. I see the pre-auth stuff on my card, but no email yet.
Target peeps, there's a separate 5% Red Card offer for all online orders, so if you apply that the normal Red Card 5%, I could have pre-ordered a XSX for $494 shipped after discounts. (I'm in CA)
The extra 5% can be enabled on the main page. There should be a "See offers now" button.

Phew, got a second one through MS. Done. Got my PS5 DE (canceled my disc PS5 from Walmart) and got 2 Series X from MS (one for me, one for my son)
Targets the GOAT. Got me my One X and One at launch.Me and Target after they came through with a PS5 and Series X pre-order with (relatively) limited hassle:
I'll give gamestop the benefit of the doubt, went through checkout up until order confirmation without the site crashing. I don't know if i could lock in the preorder but it seemed to be working. Good luck to you all.
+ Looks like the X is OOS at Gamestop now, going by the message in the cart page.

Managed to snag one on the Microsoft store and then (After I closed the tab!?!) gamestop somehow went through!
For those who have experience with Microsoft or Gamestop launch day shipments - which is better? Is one usually more reliable to get the shipment on launch day? Trying to decide which one to cancel.

mine was blinking for at least 2-3 minutes, did not refresh, didn't want to risk and it eventually came up with my info.
Finally got the series x through MS store, took about twenty minutes of refreshing but it finally took. After a while it told me that I had the maximum amount in my cart even though the cart image never updated, so I started refreshing the cart itself and it showed up in there eventually.
If you have a Red Card, make sure you go to the current deals and add the 5 percent off any purchase deal for the week. You'll end up getting 10 percent off the console.
Got my preorder in at MSFT store for the X. Walmart's all access preorders were gone almost instantly so was begining to lose hope.
Only took 400 refreshes or so but Christmas is very much not cancelled.

I'm trying to remember...was it Amazon who put up pre-orders for one of the classic mini consoles in smaller batches throughout the day at one point? Maybe that's what they're doing here.
Got Series X from Target!Will it still be possible to change to All Access plan later on? I just wanted to secure the preorder.
Got one from Microsoft. Anyone else having trouble please try to add the series console directly from the Xbox One Store. Then once you have added it you can try to check out from the website since it should still be in your cart. That's how I managed to get it through.
Yeah, I managed to get mine at Target even after the site went unresponsive and kicked me out of the flow. Getting it at Target was important for me, Red Card gives you 5% off, and I had a birthday coupon that took another 5% off.
Just need to find someplace to sell my old XB1X
How in the living hell is Best Buy still not up? This is comical at this point.
I managed to get my order through on the MS Store so it doesn't really matter to me, but still. They're gonna get demolished by people who missed Target and Wal-Mart.

i have been in this state for like 30 minutes though, i figure there's gotta be a timer eventually on which you no longer have whatevers in your cart reserved (if there ever was one)
still trying though
OMG finally got one through Mkicrosoft store. Hint...DO NOT USE THEIR SUGGESTED ADDRESS AFTER YOU PUT IN THE SHIPPING ADDRESS. I kept getting an error on checkout saying it could not ship to my country -- as soon as I declined their suggested address everything worked.
