Just got an email from Best Buy.

If you're doing in-store pickup for your Xbox Series X|S pre-order they're doing appointments to pick up your system.

They go from 6:00am to 9:00am in half-hour blocks.

Got mine this morning, have my appt set! Not sure why we need an appt but there you have it.

Curious if they'll do the same with ps5 preorders.

BB has been pushing appointments in the COVID reopening for some reason. I did a store pickup the other day and they had a guy blocking the entrance and asking if I had an appointment..

I got mine aswell but appts aren't needed . They still have curbside and walk in pickups so I don't understand what's the point of this. Unless it's just so people who pre-ordered don't have to wait in a line if there is one

They dont want hundreds of people all in one place during a pandemic.

 

[Iced Arcade]

mine is shipping to me, wasn't an option to do instore pickup here in Canada for bestbuy.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

Got mine too!

 

[TexMex]

I got the same. Picked 6am.

FYI - if you have a PS5 - it lets you pick November 10th. I chatted with customer service, yes it's an error. Pick November 12th.

Looks like people are getting emails for the PS5 as well.

I get that but, you dont need an appointment. You can simply show up at store opening

Do people forget about the pandemic? They don’t want 100 people gathered

 

[Nikana]

The pick up times only being the AM seems dumb? Like people work fam!

 

[Entroyp]

I got the email but for PS5. Apparently I will be able to pick up mine on 11/10 6 AM LOL

Bestbuy usually doesn't open before 9am. Ill gladly pick mine up at 6am without complaining about it.

Yup get it as early as possible. I'd go at midnight if they offered that.

 

[Guileless]

6 am in November is some early cold shit. I guess you could stop for doughnuts on the way and make it worth it. I signed up for late morning.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Interesting. Here in Canada they won't be selling the consoles in store at all, it'll be an online only item. I don't trust Canada Post to deliver on time so chances are I'll be missing the console launches by a day or two

 

[Ataraxia]

Found my e-mail in the clutter folder. Decided not to schedule as I have no desire to go to Best Buy that early when I already have my PS5 secured. I will happily strut my smug face through the store mid-afternoon at my convenience.

They did that for stealth gen 2 headset.

 

[PhillMeCream]

So can I get both system on the 10th?
Since it let me choose on the ps5 appointment

 

[Elder Legend]

I can confirm that I did get an email for my PS5 Physicial pick up. Meanwhile, my 2nd ps5 but digital will be shipped to me as well.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Yeah i got the Email too but i am going to go after work around 4 pm. Too bad i got in on the 2nd round of gamestop preorders for Ps5 and won't get my console until the 30th.

 

[Deleted member 801069]

I didn’t get an email

That and remmberance day being the 11th so the post won't be running that day. I don't have too much faith.

Ahh shit. Completely forgot about that. Here's hoping CP actually deliver on the 10th then.

Yeah same.

Happened to a friend with the physical copy of The MCC. Didn't come launch day, next day was remmberance day and then it was the weekend he was mad af

 

[Jigsaah]

I did get an email. 8:30 - 9:00 am it is. It's gonna be hard going to work with this baby sitting in my living room.
