I'm counting on someone sharing the Amazon add to cart links before the actual product page goes up, just like with the PS5.

Looks like Best Buy sold out instantly, and I can't add the console to my shopping card at Target, and Xbox.com has crashed.

Tried refreshing the Amazon direct link for about a minute, said gently caress this, and ordered with no problems on Microsoft's store. Don't know why Amazon is such a disaster for this stuff with AWS and all.

Failed on every single website, with accounts made and credit card info in. The only site left is Amazon who still don't seem to have it up for sale yet

You woulda thought Sony, Microsoft, and retailers in general would have planned for this after what happened to Switches back in March

I was able to order from a sketchy and short-lived Walmart All Access link this morning, but I was going to get a second pre-order in case Walmart cancels early orders. I'm sure the Microsoft Store will pop up again eventually.

dont go in person to a store to get a console in 2020 thank you

Because of COVID? Or just because it's antiquated? Put a mask on and don't lick anything, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Fat_Cow posted:

I wonder how long until the narratives start about one console selling out much quicker than the other.

Without knowing how many units each company made available this would be pointless, but I'm sure the hundreds of click bait articles don't mind those silly details. From what I've seen the X seems to be selling out fast and the S is available here in the UK. People saying it's been tricky to get the All Access option, with the sites crashing while doing the credit checks.

I'll buy an X if I see one even though I keep thinking there's not really any rush to get one just yet. Deep down I know I must consume.

I think I have it in my cart via Target but it won't let me check out.

When I try to add it, it says I already have it in the cart. Then I go to my cart and it says it's empty.

I just saw web errors and dogs, I used a "direct" link from IGN's twitter, I'm assuming their link was correct because it's the same thing that happened with the ps5 (ordered one for my son).

Seems Gamestop has lower allocations then they did with PS5. But, that's one company.

As far as Microsoft is concerned too, this pre-order has actually gone more smoothly than Xbox One, because pre-orders actually sold out this time.

Same here. Kept getting “you have exceeded the allotment for this item” errors but it eventually worked. Everything slow but it did go through, even though I had to verify my address and update the CC billing address.

I made it as far as getting an order confirmation on the Gamestop website, "Due to high volume, it make take up to 15 minutes for a confirmation email"

I did this twice so I might accidentally own two xbonesx or they might cancel them both. I paid through paypal for both orders but even Paypal is getting hammered right now

Amazon is whatever, but i'm legit surprised at Best Buy dropping the ball on this. For a company that is barely able to stay afloat now, this is not a good time to screw up on one of the biggest pre-orders of the year.

This has been my exact experience. I even got to the point of entering payment information after like half an hour of the website making GBS threads itself, and now apparently it's out of stock :(

Right and this week they should have been able to prepare, unlike last week where PS5 pre-orders started early.

Yeah I spend a good amount of money at Best Buy and use their rewards program and everything. I actually wanted to buy from them.
