I'll post this as rumour for now, lock if old, search came up with nothing...

Shortly after Microsoft and Sony held their E3 press conferences on June 10, GameStop had pre-order SKUs in their system for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 respectively. With price points and launch windows announced, both systems were available for consumers to reserve almost immediately. Just over a week later, the pre-order SKU for Xbox One has been removed from GameStop’s system corporate-wide without explanation.

As of this morning, GameStop management has confirmed that they are not currently taking reserves on Xbox One. No official explanation has been given for the removal of the SKU at this time, and GameStop has not clarified whether or not they will re-open the reserve list at a later time. PlayStation 4 is still available for reserve, and Sony recently announced that GameStop has pledged to buy every PlayStation 4 they can get their hands on.

Must have experienced too many preorders and Microsoft can't meet the demand.this is looking good for them

 

[Wario64]

Someone told me this yesterday morning.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

GameStop forgot to check in within 24 hours.

 

[Alcander]

Probably ran out of the allotment of One preorders.

 

[chubigans]

From the other thread it sounds like they ran out of allocated units for preorder.

Edit: yeah, beaten

 

[V_Ben]

That's... Disconcerting.

 

[Striek]

If true its probably supply related, I doubt its Gamestop feuding with MS or whatever.

Or maybe they're going to revise price/SKUs who knows.

 

[Rei no Otaku]

Gamestop hasn't seen Titanfall.

 

[KojiKnight]

Sounds like the rumors about low yields are pretty truthfact.

 

[DaBoss]

MS is having manufacturing issues right?

 

[tino]

Gamestop saw Titanfall.

 

[MechaX]

For what it's worth, Xbox One preorder offers are still plastered all across GameStop's website. Assuming that this is true, I wonder when they'll start removing stuff/refunding people who come in "after" the cutoff.

 

[LycanXIII]

They haven't seen Titanfall.

 

[MikeE21286]

Good and bad at the same time.

 

[kick51]

Xbone canceled

 

[Aquamarine]

Indeed...seems as if Xbox One launch availability will be quite limited.

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

Gamestop hasn't seen Titanfall.

hahahahahahahaaaa

 

[Valnen]

Hopefully it's because they refused to downclock the system and are having issues mass producing it for the time being. An even weaker Xbox One would be bad new for multi-platform titles.

 

[sense]

this might help...

[TimeEffect]

Buy the XBox 360

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

XB One preorder conversation over.

 

[Camp Lo]

Can a lawyer please explain what's going on?

 

[imBask]

wait, are we going to war... and align ourselves with gamestop? is this happening? what is this, whats going on i'm confused, and scared, and confused

 

[Duke Togo]

Thankfully they have another product for consumers to purchase this holiday season. Its called xbox360.

 

[Meelow]

Hopefully it's because they refused to downclock the system and are having issues mass producing it for the time being. An even weaker Xbox One would be bad new for multi-platform titles.

But wouldn't they have to delay the system till 2014 for them to do that?

Anyway, the Xbox One will probably see small shipments this year...A good strategy as well.

 

[spuit*11]

Either yields really are screwing with availability or they're going to introduce a new SKU.

 

[Community Forum]

Fortunately there is a product for people who aren't able to preorder an Xbox One. It’s called Xbox 360.

But if true. Does it affect games in dev now

My closest GameStop ran out of preorders the same day as the E3 conference. They had 200 slots available. The one a town over ran out the day after (I called both...amazingly they too said 200 slots)

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Gamestop hasn't seen Titanfall.

I love this shit so much.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Terrible news. MS pls!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Gamestop hasn't seen Titanfall.

Gamestop saw Titanfall.

They haven't seen Titanfall.

What's the origin of this meme? I must have seen it like 30 times today.

 

[dragonflys545]

Have they seen Titanfail?

 

[Amir0x]

Oh man if they cut the price on XBO and drastically change DRm strategy or something absurd

would be like the biggest win for consumers in... god. forever

/headintheclouds

 

[ins0mnia]

Maybe this just means the Day One Edition is sold out?

 

[Leucrota]

Will wait for further information.

You sure you don't live in a city? 200 slots sounds like a ton for a single Gamestop.

 

[Chamber]

Sounds like this console will be a dream for scalpers.

Do you live in a city area? Most GameStops got 20-25 including mine, the largest one in my district only got 65.

You haven't seen TitanFall have you?

Spoiler

Major Nelson said this in a interview. Said interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lMhjM9BK7M

Major Nelson interview with Reddit. Don't know what the link is though.

 

[Duke Togo]

Thank god I can still buy doritos and mountain dew without a preorder.

 

[Baron Aloha]

Major Nelson interview. He gets asked questions and dodges them by changing the subject and asking "but have you seen Titanfall?".

 

[DenogginizerOS]

The store I was in last Friday said they had plenty slots left. I guess a bunch of people saw the TitanFall trailer this weekend.

 

[Currygan]

into darkness, the train blazes

 

[beast786]

the website still taking it as of 1 min ago

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

GameStop forgot to check in within 24 hours.

I laughed.

CBOAT, you magnificent bastard.

Both are in good sized "cities".

27k and 22k populations.
