Dodger Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Just getting this ready for tomorrow morning just in case this is the same cluster fuck getting a PS5 pre ordered turned out to be. So we can post in any info about the pre order process to help us all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I recommend keeping the resetera preorder page open. It is how I got the Amazon and Target preorders in before the preorder date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I highly recommend taking your 2nd or 3rd choice retailer as your target. Bots are going to be all over this. Sucks but is the nature of a limited launch. So target the Walmarts & Targets before Amazon/BestBuy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I'll be on Amazon, BB, & Target most likely and whichever I can get to the order page first on will be the winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this for me. I'll pre order where available especially if Amazon or Best Buy are down. I really would like to get one from game stop as I can trade in one of my Xbox One X and maybe a fatty Xbox One for $300 off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 After the PS5 launch, Best Buy is off my list. I think there were two people on here refreshing for an hour to get the order through. Target and Amazon were perfect for me. No issues at all. I will aim to score one from each. If I manage two, I will sell it at cost on here if someone needs it.

Dodger Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Target worked for me for the PS5 phatty, just I'm not sure if I'm getting release day shipping or not, so I'll have the GF try to snag a XSX off Target while I try the MS store and Amazon.

Brian Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 @BasemntDweller2 if you gonna preorder at a store get there early. Clearly Sony and Microsoft want to help kill GameStop some numbers I heard for GameStop per-store allocations for Xbox Series preorders:Series X - 6-12 per storeSeries S - 2-4 per store— Wario64 (@Wario64) September 21, 2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I preordered the Xbox One and One X through my console with the MS Store. I’m hoping to do the same with the Series X. But just in case, I’ll try refreshing Amazon too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I'm interested in what happens with the financing option if you already have Gamepass stacked for a couple years. Does it just pause the use of the stacked months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I'm going to have to drive to the other side of town to try and pre-order. I know online is going to be a cluster and my only hope is pre-ordering in person at a Gamestop (ugh). There's only ONE gamestop in my area of about 20,000 people so for lack of a better strategy, I'm gonna go to the poor-ass side of town I grew up on where there are more Gamestops and fewer people that can afford a console on launch day.

So wait til you have 6 months left then activate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGLatinBoy Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Xbox Series X confirmed for November launch in Japan WWW.THEVERGE.COM The Xbox One was almost a year late. Consoles might be harder to get this time around since they're pushing for a worldwide release. Last time they delayed the Xbox One in japan for a few months. I guess this time MS wants to ship all the units Japan will need for the console's lifetime at launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm nervous like most people here... but I also have a feeling that it is going to be available online. If you asked the rational part of my brain I would guess that it will be in stock on Amazon and the MS site for a couple hours at least. That does not mean I won't be hitting refresh like a crazy person starting about an hour before it goes live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Since the US is Xbox’s biggest territory I expect the supply to be good. I just worry about bots and the websites being able to handle the traffic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I’ll have to see how it works when people start getting them. I’m interested in the 2-year plan because it works out cheaper when you calculate the Gamepass in.

They need to redo the V2 make it V2.1 or something I wanted to buy a V2 but its missing the share button so I dont think its worth it until they do add it to the controller and that can be years if they decide to go with V3 or something.
