Xbox Series S/X Preorder Mega Thread (Worldwide Preorder Details in OP) - Starts Sep 22nd
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
Yeah same here. Once I discovered the warranty trick it worked immediately once I got preorder button back.
how long did you spam F5? I had to spam it for about 2 minutes at one point before the option returned again
FYI target pre-orders may or may not be real. It seems to be a bug in their website that's allowing you to check out. Too many people have been getting them when everyone else is sold out.
Tried for like 10 minutes, can't get it to show up anymore. I consistently had it earlier this morning but it wouldn't add it to my cart.
Yeah, that seems super sketchy. No harm in trying I suppose but I also wouldn't be expecting it to stick.
Similarly to the PS5...it could be canceled preorders bumped back out for order...could also be a bug...typically retail systems have checkout blocks...but who knows...I guess we'll see...Target could always switch in-store stock to these preorder additions (assuming they have some for in-store)
ShopTo have sent out confirmations about getting the Xbox on release day but MS have not yet. Whats that about?
I just got a Series S preorder using the warranty trick on Target right now! https://www.target.com/p/xbox-series-s-console/-/A-80790842#lnk=sametab
Pro tip: cmd + shift + R (or F5 on Win) will hard refresh the page and not just refresh from your local cache
There's Series S inventory right now, go! https://www.target.com/p/xbox-series-s-console/-/A-80790842
Just received my Shopto email saying "get fucked" for the Xbox Series X yet was fine for the PS5, did they not get as much XSX stock allocated?
Darn missed it.
Dumb question but does the S model have to be oriented vertically? I really don't want an S but I have a living room TV that doesn't really have a place for the X.
No, it can be placed horizontally. In fact it's probably better horizontally since it has vents on both sides of the system when laying horizontally but while vertical one of those vents is covered.
Perfect, thanks. Yeah S will work better for this spot.
It's a bonus console and can just keep the old Xbox there for now but an S would be good.
Was going to cancel my Series X pre-order but opting not to. I'll be busy on Xbox this holiday and getting a PS5 would just sit there right now based on my friends group and the backlog I have. I'll get the PS5 in the spring and just keep my Series X. I only own an Xbox One X and would rather offload it now at EB. Also the preview vids have been pretty exciting and convincing.
Same here from shopto, last chance is Amazon but dont have much hope.
Same, I've got it pre-ordered with Amazon. I wish they would confirm we're actually going to get one or not soon
Hopefully the coming week, seems retailers have there allocation now.
Shopto sent the same to me but my ps5 disk and digital are day one confirmed.
I think so yeah, it was only a brief period earlier today.
The UK series S has been up on amazon for a while. If you're that desperate for one, just know it'll require a US power cord (probably any standard one from newegg or whatever that fits the specs) and there may or may not be warranty issues or quirkiness with your region when you sign into xbox live.
Anyone else that was approved for All Access and couldn't preorder just get their second follow up email from Microsoft? They said they will be opening up a 72 hour window for us to complete the preorder process. More details to come in a 3rd email on or around October 19th.
I just got an email from Microsoft that I will be able to pre order on October 19th during a 72hr window to complete the all access order. Sweeet!
For anyone that preordered through All Access....have you received anything yet from Citizens One? I preordered mine from Best Buy, the order is still pending and payment says "awaiting authorization". Anyone else have this?
I really hope I can walk into Best Buy day one to buy a series x since it seems Best Buy hasn't said shit since day one pre orders.
Before I attempt it, anyone know if I can load money into my Microsoft account and change the payment method to that on my current preorder in the MS store? Usually, I'd preorder from Amazon and prepay it by loading your Amazon account and applying it to the balance.
Man, I really fucking hope I get this email, my dumbass was sitting on that website for fucking hours trying to get past the first All Access page.
My Target order from day one seems to check for funds about every 7 days. I keep getting notifications from my CC's app about a Target charge for $527. Keep that in mind if you are low on funds I don't want to see anyone lose a spot.
It doesn't seem like you can do it via the order page. I tried and it gives you an error. You can try chatting with someone and seeing if they'd even allow you to do it
Series S is still available in the Netherlands, has been since pre orders went up. Not really surprising, however did Amazon germany just put the Series S on sale???

Shopto have been farming pre orders since the beginning of last year with their register interest for 1p thing. It's no surprise that loads of people have been disappointed. They must have known from the amount of interest that there was no way they could fulfil all the units yet they let people wait. Pretty crappy really and luckily I got a pre order in somewhere else but I won't use them again for a console launch
series S available at Target, do it from a PC, add the warranty and then remove once it's in the cart!
EDIT: It's gone. You just have to constantly check.

In general, with online preorders from most any retailer, I've seen things get canceled right before release date way more than I've seen things get canceled during this in between period. There is really not a point in this time where you can feel assured (more than having actually gotten an order in) that nothing will change.
I am only sharing this in response to the many posts I see asking if their orders are secure if they haven't canceled by now.
At the end of the day, your order isn't "safe" until it ships, or really until it's in your house.

Fair point. At some point I want to release my backup Microsoft store pre-order, though. Maybe I'll give it a few more weeks.
