Microsoft has introduced the Xbox X series ($ 500) and his little brother, a Xbox S series ($ 300) back in November. Equally impressive next PS5, they are basically impossible to obtain. This is really bad because the Xbox Series X is a huge beast that plugs into your TV and offers almost full compatibility with the Xbox One game library, plain 4K gaming, and pausing and resuming up to four games at once. Even though the inventory has been gloomy so far, there are still some options for purchasing a console in the coming days.
While most retailers were not transparent about when to expect units to sell, a couple stepped forward. Walmart, for example, has been constantly informing customers about when to drop the new stock via Twitter. The last inventory drop occurred at Walmart on Wednesday (Thanksgiving) and we look forward to Walmart’s next announcement on Twitter.
Walmart is not the only retailer that communicates availability. Antonline he does pretty much the same thing, with only fewer remarks. The retailer tweets the availability at the time of the downturn and contacts customers and players directly. A spokesman for Antonline also said, “We have a strict, customer-by-customer policy and we do a lot of checks to get these into the hands of real players and not scalers.” Here’s the retailer’s latest tweet about a drop. As you can see, you may want to follow the merchant to make your tweets useful:
Best Buy and GameStop are also teasing Xbox availability on Black Friday week, but without any particular details.
Unlike Sony, which is a online boot for PS5 only, Microsoft also stored the shelves online and in stores. But as you search for inventory online and in the mortar, ease your expectations: They’re nowhere to be found and don’t seem to be improving: Microsoft is saying this now The Xbox inventory may be scarce until April 2021.
If you still want to try your luck, here is a list of the major retailers who sell the Xbox Series X. Our advice is to find the retail price of $ 500, and avoid those expensive retail packages (which include foreign controllers, accessories, and games).
Best Buy was the last retailer to step back in the September pre-order days, but is now ready to buy the Xbox Series X as the kit allows.
Amazon sells the Xbox Series X and the cheaper S-Series on the same product page.
Walmart does a serious job of noting the windows for PS5 and Xbox availability Twitter feed. You may also want to visit the retailer’s Xbox landing page for both new consoles.
It was GameStop advertised “a very limited number of Xbox Series X and S console packs are available for purchase,” but they are currently sold out.
This is Target’s product page for the Xbox Series X.
You can buy the Xbox Series X here in Newegg when the dealer has stock.
If you want to get the latest on the Xbox Series X, there’s probably nothing better than Microsoft’s own Xbox Series X home page. Here you will find the latest specifications, advertised game titles, details of the new controller and more.
Already desperate? Are you willing to pay a premium of hundreds of dollars above the list price? Listen, we wouldn’t do that, and we don’t recommend you do that either. But if you choose that path, StockX is a reputable eBay-style site that allows you to buy and sell new Xbox and PS5 models – as long as you’re willing to pay over $ 750.
Look at this:
The Xbox X and S series are fine-tuned, updated …
