Logged into GAME after work and bought one no problems. Sold out minutes later, I think I timed that perfectly.

Although the dirty scalping fuckers are charging £10 shipping.

Is it usual to only have that many at stores?, or is it all the staff getting first dibs?
Microsoft is having problems with production or shorting these to get sell outs. With that chip and 2 consoles probably product problems with probably SOC.

But GAF has been telling me for months that nobody wants a Series X and that it should be super easy to pre-order one.

Been at this for 40 minutes refreshing various pages, about at my wit's end.
The problem is that as far as the scalpers are concerned it doesn't matter. The problem is low risk. Most likely they do a ton of pre-orders, flip what they can on ebay and then cancel their orders around Nov 1 on any unit they couldn't sell so they won't even be stuck with unsold units. Even if they only sell a few units for a good profit it's worth it for them to tie up huge numbers of product.
