This would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

I cannot believe that Microsoft - cloud compute kings of the universe - can't keep a site up and working for a preorder time and date THEY set.

It seems the MS store was the best option today

 

[Bladed Thesis]

So is this all bots snatching them up?

I know its not bots. A lot of people in a discord group have said they got one so its not just bots.

 

[Gravemind]

MS Store is your best bet. Its laggy as fuck but if you wait long enough you'll get through. Good luck boys.

 

[Superkewl]

I finally one through the MS store. Just an FYI, you can order via your xbone as well

 

[MaestroMike]

Target for me. Had to keep refreshing checkout and placing the order. Kept checking my orders already placed on Target to see if it went through. It did and I got my e-mail confirmation.

 

[Goro Majima]

Amazon:

 

[Nikana]

m$ store let me in but now it just says sold out for both.

 

[M.W.]

Amazon.com

www.amazon.com

Scroll down to the bottom, keep F5'ing....soon

NVM, it keeps updating...saw the X there

 

[Vognerful]

Virgin???

Virgin are still trading?? I thought they were Zavvi now? :O

They are still in UAE. I didn’t know That they were bought by another company, but the have good 3 branches in my city.

 

[Rawdirt]

Had all info and pressed “place order” at Walmart and Target by 8:03, they both crashed Wandered over to Gamestop and I got one at 8:25! Super excite

 

[MISTER INVEIGLER]

I am currently meeting the dogs at amazon.

 

[Thabass]

Good luck everyone trying to get one. Seems like a lot of people are getting them. So that's good.

Keep that bar high.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Your payment needs additional verification. I'm cancelling my credit card.

 

[DavidGzz]

With how hard it seems to get one I feel like my Gamestop receipt is like a golden ticket. Glad that's behind me. Time to finally sleep.

You're doing God's work, son.

 

[RayHell]

Xbox Serie X sold out faster than PS5. In the end , maybe Sony unannounced preorders was a better "solution" to avoid bots.

 

[Ultraslick]

Up and available at Sams Club

 

[M.W.]

MS store says I still have it in cart but I can't checkout. I added everything I need but the place order button doesn't work. I assume they are gone.

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

you know its a lot of demand when timdog fails

 

[NullZ3r0]

I imagine there will be no problems getting one through all access later today. Scalpers aren't going to sign up for a bunch of credit lines.

That was my reasoning. I'm already a GPU subscriber and XAA ends up being $20 cheaper for me so it was a no-brainer. Or so I thought...

 

[RoboFu]

Holy shit an hour since i clicked checkout! and final it went through

 

[SpartanN92]

I went to GameStop an hour early this morning. I was person 8 in line... they only had 7

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Up and available at Newegg

link? not seeing it

I like it way better. Especially since I showed up to Gamestop and ps5 preorders literally just went live.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

I'm not attempting to order the Xbox Series X or S, because I don't want either of them. However, I've been reading through this thread and visiting online retailers and I think that it's ridiculous that the sites haven't implemented measures to deal with the heavy traffic that they should have expected as well as the likelihood that scalpers would try to snag consoles via bots. It's as if they don't care.

 

[JORMBO]

Rufus and Lucy are my favorite dogs.

Up and available at Newegg

Sold out long ago.

Rupert best dog

Talula is best dog for sure.

 

[Elpidio Valdés]

I couldn't get one! I've been trying since 11am to no avail. I made it as far as literally clicking "place order" but I keep getting an error in yellow that says "unable to purchase order at this time". It just wasn't meant to be. Besides I couldn't get All Access and I really wanted it. Next time preorders open it should be easier, just gotta have patience. It's not the end of the world.

 

[unknownphysicz]

MS store says I still have it in cart but I can't checkout. I added everything I need but the place order button doesn't work. I assume they are gone.

same i have the series s on checkout and get this message " Something went wrong. Please try again in a while. " lol

Thanks. Is this supposed to be faster than the "buy it now" option that is typically available next to "add to cart" button?

 

[Spokker]

I was able to get one through Microsoft. Was a bit of a to do but I got a confirmation email.

Hopefully I didn't accidentally order 10.

[HerpDerpstreit]

Waffles, best dog.

 

[godhandiscen]

I was able to order two from the Microsoft store, one from my account and another one from my brother’s.

I don't expect to get one, but it's still fun to try.

 

[PSYGN]

Have they fixed input lag on backwards compatibility? I remember trying Black Ops 1 and it was hard to aim accurately because of how sluggish it felt.
