No one is yet afikAmazon is t listing the all acces version?
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.
That's one hell of a genius scam if true!That Smile link told me it was purchasing off someone's gift list. Might want to check your orders.
I placed mine through the main link instead.
As someone who makes ecommerce websites for a living, I can tell you it is extremely hard to handle any spike in traffic like this. Even with planning a head of time, servers can only handle so much. It is not just the webserver either, you have your cache servers and database servers getting nailed as well, while trying to keep other parts of the store still running. You can have the best AWS ELB setup you can imagine, and still have issues with a huge traffic spike all at once. Computers can only handle so many requests at a time. It is a hard thing to solve.
I think some sort of queue system for this big releases could help, but in the end I am not sure if the money investment to build that is worth it for these large stores. The margins on the consoles are not large and they will get their money either way. Why invest money to make it easier for customers in these once every so often events, when they will sell out either way and still get the same amount of money? It sucks for us, but it is the reality of it.
That's one hell of a genius scam if true!
Does the MS store charge the full amount when ordering or when it ships?
That's one hell of a genius scam if true!
Thanks for the infoWhen it ships. Says in the confirmation email.
