Ok...so before I commit on the Series S, I took advantage of the PC Gamepass for $5 thing to bulk up until 9/22. Is there a cheaper way to convert that to Ultimate, or am I stuck paying $15 a month?

If I have to do that, I'll probably just cancel the Series S.

I tried everywhere, but nothing. Microsoft's didn't even work until just a little bit ago when it was already "out of stock".
Yeah I saw that for the Series X. Tried my self but the site was fucked up for like 30 mins then "out of stock"

Best Buy giving me "Issue with your Microsoft All-Access order" now that's saying Coming Soon again.

Walmart also has "Coming soon" and Target hasn't even updated their site yet for Series X|S All-Access

Only site I think it worked on was GameStop and they're already out of stock as well.

I didn't get any delay emails or anything from Amazon so I guess I'm solid.

Some truth right here:


I lined up for N64, Dreamcast, PS2, and 360. No luck on the PS2, or 360, that was harsh shit.

For fun I tried "ordering" from US (I live in Canada, so I didn't actually order) by religiously following Wario, and going to link the second he would notify. It was pretty easy to get to checkout through Microsoft and Amazon links, and literally impossible through Target and Best Buy. BB and Target websites simply can't handle this amount of traffic, they were both just displaying some random errors, one second adding to cart, the other moment cart would be empty, etc.

I'm not sure if Wario posts Canadian links, but it would be a shame if he doesn't, as he's clearly the way to go for things like this.

Not surprising, since Amazon and Microsoft own two of the three largest cloud computing services in the world. Microsoft's site was still a relative clusterfuck though.

I went through the credit check at GS only for them to say they're sold out, that shit better not have impacted my credit score for the inquiry, lol.

Main reason I didn't try for All Access. I didn't want the hit and walk away with nothing. Maybe in a week or two I will try.

Ended up getting a PS5 and Series X. I found the Xbox quite a bit more difficult to get.

And now 'Microsoft Store' is trending on twitter so that's interesting.

This is so unbelievably stupid. On Best Buy and Microsoft Store, I have Series X in my cart, but it keeps giving me errors when I try to check out.

Haha, Best Buy logged me out, then told me I couldn't pick it up, then told me it was out of stock, then deleted it from my cart.
What an ordeal. Hopefully Amazon is OK. I feel weird about the link and the gift side of things but should be OK.

Grabbed a Series X on Amazon when the link went up. Was trying to grab through MS; will see if they do any stealth drops (with release date delivery) between now and release I guess.

Luckily managed to get the Series X, but Best Buy just can't be trusted for ordering anything lately - RTX 3080, PS5, or Series X.

Best Buy officially kicked it out of my cart.
MS never went to the cart for me.

Got one on Walmart and Amazon, but really wanted to be able to pay upfront with PayPal checkout.

FUCK Best Buy.

Started super fucking late, had issues adding to cart, then checking out. Finally got to a screen where I was able to specify my pick-up store, specified it, and then saw no option to proceed past that point until minutes later when their stock had sold out entirely.

What a fucking joke.

Microsoft fucked up. They did it just as bad if not worse then Sony. Apple is the only one who can do preorders well

Damn, I got to the final parts of check out both on target and Sam's club but didn't got errors/not in stock. Sam's club why have you forsaken me? Guess i'll spam Best Buy next.
