Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Xbox One - Walk into a store and pick it up?
- Thread starter Calm Killer
- Start date
Ironically I could have picked one up in the store today...in a Tier 2 country...
FNAC (French retailer but with shops here in Belgium too) imported a bit of stock from France and some of them were directly available in stock. They had no accessories and only AC IV for the rest though. I did not pick it up, PS4 next week and had only foreseen to budget Xbox One for 2014 (Tier 2 release)

Seemed to have a few huge bundles left in Worcester's Game store in the UK today. If you want one, you'll find one I think.

How do you know that PS4 has way more supply?
They will buy the console they want whether they have to wait for it or not. Yeah, there's a few impulse buyers out there but I don't think most are that easily flipped on their buying decision.
Not really interested in one until Titanfall comes out, but I had errands to run and decided if I could find one, then whatever, I'd get it. Gamestop, Target and Walmart were all sold out, or whatever stock they had was for people who had reserved.
This is in Northern Virginia, by the way.

Lmao, it's nice to want things. But on topic this bodes well for me being able to score one after our account recovers from the PS4 launch.
Thanks.

I'm at work right now (Walmart in Canada) and we've been open for 3 hours now. We got 8 Xbones in and had a lineup of 7 people when we opened. The remaining console has just been sitting here unsold since then.
Significantly higher pre order allotments?
Something tells me that we are going to get a shipped number from msoft instead of a sold number.

Might be time for that $400 Kinectless bundle MS.

I microwave steaks.
Gamestop MGR was telling me they should expect some by Black friday.
I woulnd't be thanking him yet. The website does not update. I've yet to find a single Target which carries one even though it shows at least 20+ in my city which have them "In Stock"

Gamestop investor call from the other day seems to confirm what we've been hearing since summer. Retailers got much higher allocations for PS4 than XB1.
Not to say XB1 first day sales won't be impressive. We already know both supply and demand exceed 360's launch numbers.

I cancelled my preorder months ago but got that itch today. I signed up for the xbox area one event thing they had here in London and they had a mini GAME kiosk thing setup. I couldn't resist buying the forza day one edition. They had a lot there it seemed. At least 20 on display and a back room that they kept getting consoles from to replenish the display area.
If their message is not direct then they would've sold less than a million units. But being a "world-wide" launch I expect it to be over a million.

You're not in Phoenix by chance are you? For those who are finding them in stores can you please post where (city, intersection) so fellow gaffers in your area who didn't preorder can get one too? I thought this thread was to help not to gloat
Shopko has the Xbox One going in an out of stock. Keep checking back, and you might snag one. TopCashBack has between 3%-7% cashback if you click through them.
Would be nice, I am probably going with PS4 but would get an Xbone instead if they had this. Not only do I not want to spend extra, the last thing I need is (kinect) something else for my kid to try to yank off the TV stand.
Sorry, update the post, Denver, CO, Colorado and Alameda.
Stopped in to pick up the new Zelda. I have an XB1 coming from Amazon today, tho. No taxes is good taxes
Day one or standard?
Wow almost every store in 15miles has stock

Wow I'm surprised so many Targets in SO Cal have them! Not willing to pay $500 until Titanfall though, and even then I'll be debating it.
Except calling a store to find out how a console you're not interested in is doing is hardly morbid curiosity is it.
I suspect deep down you know exactly why people would do that.
I just wish they'd admit it.

Have to agree with this. I have never had good luck with the Target.com website's stock indicator. It is especially bad for games on release day.
Its only 8 am though. Still I think it should be pretty easy to walk in and get one.
Already a few GAFer reports about walking into Target and buying one or seeing them available.
Yep, don't use Walmart.com's either. These online stock trackers these companies use suck.
(I and a friend looking for a PS4 went to 2 Walmarts that said they had stock on launch day...both turned us away. We called a 3rd that showed it and they said no.)
Good to hear, still best to ALWAYS call....unless you like wasting gas.
Well it will at least give you a place to start calling. Didn't mean to incite panic runs to Target.
Exactly.
He called, nothing. Poor guy. I guess he'll just have to wait to see when Amazon can get it to him.

You don't need to use targets online stock checker , just call your local target

Target finder reminds me of Wii U launch. More or less in stock at about 60 to 70% of places. I checked the last four zip codes I've lived in and all had them available and close by.
