Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
In a pre queue on the GAME website that says an hour and hasn’t moved in over 30 minutes.
MS store says you have reached the quantity of your order yet go to basket and get a 404
ShopTo give a 404 just trying to log into your account ffs
Amazon at the time of typing this didn’t even have a Series X listed let alone to order.
Fucking ridiculous shit. And people want online only and no walk in shops for the future.

No, Amazon Germany worked pretty fine, but combining the large user base with scalpers generally targeting Amazon for their pre orders, it's no wonder this shop is the first one to sell out. Especially if people know when to check the shop.

how can they have that few for the US when their entire brand is so focused on just a few places?
Xbox Series X and S preorders may face supply constraints at GameStop
Getting your hands on an Xbox Series X preorder tomorrow could prove especially troublesome due to extreme supply constraint.venturebeat.com

It is just till 09:17 I even couldn't find anything about the XSX on Amazon and the links were dead or not available.
I really thought, that they just forget to push the button to open it for pre-orders..

They died instantly pretty much so I perservered with Microsoft and it eventually went through.

I gave up on the websites and went to my local Game UK and there was a queue of about 30 people outside.

Needed to register interest beforehand, they sent an email just after 8 this morning with a link to preorder them.

Finally done. That was actually harder than getting a PS5.
Was very tough in Australia this morning. EB Games effectively froze. Lots of cart errors for people who could get that far, after 20 minutes sold out and I never got past confirming my address. JB HiFi had similar issues initially, but then seemed to have half an hour or so of working fine, then sold out for launch and post-launch.
I eventually got one at Target of all places, who opened up around 1pm and was sold out by 1:15pm. They took the full AUD $749, and I got a confirmation email a few hours later, but a lot of other people had their orders cancelled and said a refund would come. EB reopened at 3pm for post-launch 2020 orders, but had the same issues with a lot of people getting cart errors and then sold out when it finally worked. Microsoft Store seemed like a winner at 8am that a lot of people forgot about, but was sold out around 8:15 when I tried. Amazon Aus had a page that launched early, was then pulled, and never reappeared. Weird.
Good luck elsewhere!

So I wanted to get one on All Access from Game (UK)
So join a queue at 0740 to log in, fine, then the issues start:
WTF!?
I may just wait til the new year, I have a PC and PS5 anyway, so I can wait, still damned annoying though
So join a queue at 0740 to log in, fine, then the issues start:
- The Estimated time keeps going up, from 8 minutes to 14, to 20 and so on,
- Eventually, it lets me in
- I can Pre Order one Outright just fine but needs a upfront full payment
- I wanted it on All Access, there is ANOTHER queue for this (Luckily I did join this before the other had finished)
- Finally, get to the AA page at 0850
- No Consoles to display
WTF!?
I may just wait til the new year, I have a PC and PS5 anyway, so I can wait, still damned annoying though

Congrats to everybody able to get their Series X|S consoles!
I enjoy the hype. I'm on the west coast in the US and I'm thinking about getting to GameStop early and trying to get a pre-order in there, then spam Amazon and Microsoft store on my phone for another at the same time. They open at 8am PT, I wonder if there's any hardcore Xbox fans that would wait outside and I should be worried?

Just takes me to a list of US participating retailers and Microsoft option says coming soon.
I was on the fence, I usually get all 3 consoles over the course of the generation, but ps5 was by first choice. I caved and pre-ordered an X as well, wont get it until near Christmas, but still. Buying Bethesda just pushed it over the edge, some insane value on top of value. Here is hoping for a Wayne Gretzky Hockey 3 from Bethesda..

So I waited 60 minutes to get through the game queue and now it's saying an error occurred loading the bundles.
What the fuck.
