If you really want them and try to grab at 9 tomorrow I doubt you have issues.
If you meander over to Amazon at 8pm tomorrow, probably bad chances day one.

Ominous evening for the Microsoft store to be down lol. I’ve been locked out of a few games all night since they couldn’t authenticate.

Maybe Amazon is the right move for tomorrow :rofl:
shoppers pre order for the ps5 was a disaster. I managed to get a couple ps5's pre ordered through them but it was a gong show. All they took was an email address and name. The console will be shipped to whatever shoppers is closest to you.
I'm doubtful that they'll fulfill my orders.
Should be interesting to see if the pre order goes as planned tomorrow
Oh that's actually good news that they ship to the closest shoppers. Then technically I can wait until a 20X bonus points day to go pick it up and pay. . Honestly I like to get one but don't need one on day one. I'll probably just keep playing Overwatch on it until it's time to play cyberpunk 2077...
Anyone have the link for Amazon? Also, Walmart.ca is saying it is out of stock rather than coming soon.
amazon doesn't even have a listing yet and MS website broke. BB link is broken and then the website also breaks.

https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/xbox-se.../6000201786332 (Arrives nov 17)
Just went all the way (check out + confirmation) with walmart.
Still trying to get one at shoppers and waiting in the "virtual lobby"
Brutal Best Buy.
London Drugs Direct Link : https://www.londondrugs.com/pre-orde.../L1236749.html
Refresh till it doesn't 404. Got mine there. Still popping up for me.
What a shit show :(
Ok my pre-order with Shoppers went through too. So excited!
You guys had me annoyed that London Drugs has a special offer, but it's for a chocolate bar??!
London Drugs and Walmart worked for me, The Source and Microsoft are both broken.
missed out on the chocolate bar. Got one from LD and one from MS. Could have grabbed one from BB as well.
Ugh still not working for me
Got to the checkout page on Best Buy but no go now.
Got it at WM and BB. Had to use french site for BB.
https://www.bestbuy.ca/fr-ca/produit...644465&irgwc=1
I got nothin on any pages :(
managed to snag 2 from Walmart. 1 from Microsoft. Had london drugs time out during the check out. Best buy is a total shit show. Can't seem to find anything on amazon
Still nothing for me. Guess I’m fucked.
bb breaks for me after entering the mastercard security code
Damn. I can’t get thru on any online cart.
30 min of trying on 4 sites, I think MS one finally went through.
Edit: yep got confirmation email
I’ve been close a couple times. Then it fucks off and throws an error.
Haven’t gotten far enough to even get it in my cart but MS seems to think my account has already reached the Max per customer. Fuck
My order just went through. What a colossal waste of time.
I got one through MS, took forever as I kept messing around with the address instead of just changing it later. Big wtf for amazon though.
I didn't add it during checkout but I think you can add the MS 3 year warranty later for $49 which might come in handy. Covers controller also it said.
I think I fucked myself for trying to go to fast. After shutting down chrome it eventually worked through MS.
If you are still struggling try that. It was quicker for me to get to my car by not logging in btw!
Worst ore order experience ever. Anyhow I should really get to work for the day lol.
I got it! MS store. Just got confirmation email.
ebgames has them - https://www.ebgames.ca/SearchResult/...56843%2C756737
I've given up, I managed to get in line to checkout for Bestbuy but all the other sites are either still crashing or sold out
If someone gets an extra, I'd happily take it off your hands
Make sure you go through Microsoft store NOT Xbox.com.
I tried both, Xbox.com is busted for sure, I tried EB for 20 minutes but that site is a god damned potato.
I can’t describe to you how bad a mood I was in 15 minutes ago :rofl:
I have 2 extra so far if anyone can't get it.
MS store cart here if you are getting the too many in cart error - https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/store/cart
Finally got one from M$
Amazon is up!
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got an amazon one just in case.
grabbed another at Amazon. Tried to login on another account and it was sold out by then.
I like Xbox’s as much as anyone but that seems to be just pushing it.
I am so fucking angry RN. I kept trying on ALL the websites, and just got nothing but errors, and didn't get one, and everywhere says out of stock now.
Best Buy still shows in stock for me haha. I'm guessing their system is completely fucked hence nobody can actually buy them.
Ya, BB let me get to the checkout but refused to process any of my cards or Paypal.
I have been trying since right at 9 to just fucking checkout, and i get nothing but errors
Amazon is sold out
EB games is sold out
shoppers sold out
MS is now sold out
I am so fucking pissed off rn. first world problem i know, but they know the volumes of these preorders, why cant they get the infrastructure to support it. This is nothing new to them ffs.
And then on top of it, I see fucks all over braggin how they have 4,5,6,+ orders confirmed. And ebay has over 300 listings for them now. Like fuck right off with this BS.
You can have one of mine spikers. I only ordered multiple to make sure I get one.
Got one off Amazon. Didn’t think it would be hard t get one.
Thanks for the offer @beecue but it looks like I finally got through with BB. I have an order confirmation email from them now, and it shows in my order history. Fingers crossed they don't cancel it. Only took 3 friggin hours this morning...
best buy is up and running processing orders. Just had one placed.
I think BB was still up until now because no one could get through lol. I used the French site when it first went up.
With increasing # covid cases, maybe new lockdown restrictions, Christmas, a new console launch and then parts shortages which all manufacturers are dealing with one could argue the consoles will be the big toy of the season.
Every year theres one or two items everyone wants that they can't get. I'm thinking theres a perfect storm that makes consoles that item this year. Who knows maybe I'm wrong.. guess we will see in a couple months.
This is the first time I have ever pre-ordered anything, and I am so sour on it. I used to always wait for stuff to be available in-store, and I think I am going to go back to that. I won't buy anything from a scalper unless I know they are taking a loss on it. I never went to many, but I would hang around outside a concert, and start engaging the scalpers once the opening act was about 1/2 way through, and then it was a rush to the bottom to get premium tickets.
They ship these preordered units out to us on Nov. 10th? Or we get them sometime around the 10th?
You will get them the 10th. Not before
I’ll be amazed if it’s at my door right on the 10th. I’ve never preordered like this before so I’m really interested to see how this plays out.
They strike a tough balance, they really don’t want consoles showing up early so that outcome is very rare. I think they might actually instruct the shippers not to drop until release date.
That said, shit happens and sometimes they aren’t there day one. I remember my Scorpio came a fair bit later at night than I would have preferred and it stressed me out.
Vast vast majority show up on the day they want them to.
Microsoft says there's no stock refill for pre-orders until launch day. After Sony's shitshow of a pre-order, they promise another allocation of pre-orders, but seems like there will be no more stock after that till March 2021.
So I think you're right in that this will be a pretty tight supply vs demand for these consoles. Scalpers rejoice, just don't get robbed on kijiji.
Had a buddy win 10 or so xbox or playstations on ebay auctions. Proceeded to renege on everyone due to the preorder rule that the unit must ship in 30 days. Even managed to get a few sellers to send him the order confirmation before hand so he could cancel their preorders..
Looks like the S is still available from microsoft
https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/stor...S/942J774TP9JN
Says series X is sold out from all realtors on Xbox website. lame
I wanna get the S, but I've been slowly upgrading the entire house to 4K HDR in the last 3 years that I feel like I'm cheapening out on the last piece, even if it's for the kids TV haha.
Have 3 rooms to upgrade so that's expensive too.
So will the S do 4K at all?
It’s got to be faster than a one x?
The hardware specs seem to favour the Xbox over the PS. But which is best in real life?
Hopefully we cross platform expanding that will matter less and less
