I did take next week off... lol

But not because of the Xbox. I have 4 weeks of vacation left this year and I have no choice.

Meh, don't trust those dates. It'll show up Tuesday. It's the same shit every big launch. Pretty sure these launches are all pre-setup at the shipping warehouse so they can have it all delivered on launch day.

This. It’s all planned out in advance with “do not arrive by” dates. Guarantee mine has been sitting in a FedEx lot for weeks waiting.

The dogfuckers like the source showing up early are a rare exception.

I dunno guys. Launch day is tomorrow and mine is in Memphis... still has to get into Canada (I'm assuming at Calgary), thru customs, sorted onto the truck to Red Deer, make it by 10am or something tomorrow to get sorted on the local delivery truck.... not saying it can't happen. I've seen shipping miracles happen but I'm not holding my breath.

Seems it would have been better planned if they had them held at Memphis instead of Louisville to begin with.

What you call a miracle, is just another day at the office for FedEx.

The packages are contracted not to show up early. This is what it always looks like with pre orders.

Literally. Memphis Calgary flight arrives here 6:30am, the cans get sorted ASAP, and thrown into trucks. Usually the last truck leaves Calgary at 8:30am, but most are gone by 7:30am.

The logistics contract to ship these launch consoles is massive, I highly doubt FedEx is risking future contracts with one of the biggest companies on the planet by letting these consoles show up late.

This is an endeavour that has been planned for months ago.

Tl: dr stop stressing, pour yourself a drink, your toy is going to be on your doorstep tomorrow

Yeah. If fedex / ups can handle iPhone launches, then Xbox launches should be a breeze. That is if you ordered from MS.

I am not so sure about CP and London Drugs. lol.

Hopefully! My last shipping experience a couple weeks ago went straight to "delayed due to pandemic" when it got into shippers hands in Canada. That was Purolator tho.

Will be nice to have it inside my house before I leave for a week. Here's to hoping!

i didn't have this option with Best Buy...

I am taking @killramos at his word, not like I have much choice, but Bestbuy still doesn't have any shipping info for my order. So frustrating!

All I can say is in my experience shipping info for pre orders is always fucky.

If your Xbox is already in country then I don’t think you will have issue

Mine just left Memphis about 30 minutes ago.

Based on RFD, BB hasn't updated shipping info for anyone out West yet.

Amazon hasn't updated anything.

Walmart, someone already got it and never got shipping notification until after receiving it from UPS.

amazon just emailed me a tracking. ETA is nov 13th till nov 17th arrival

Just watch me be wrong and we're all pooched based on my faulty anecdotal data from my Xbox One X experience years ago.

To be fair, the logistics of organizing you a pallet of consoles is a bit more complex.

lol too funny. I'm beginning to question if the xboxs are worth ordering more of. Based on the responses to my ads its 5:1 for ps5. Seems xboxs are more readily available. Is that a lack of demand or just more inventory?

I think long term xbox will win the battle but right now I'd say popularity is more towards ps5.

staples is having a lottery draw for anyone who wants a series s console. Need to sign up now for the chance to buy one. Costco will also have some on launch day.

People need to remember londondrugs as an option. Also toys r us hasnt sold any ps5s or xboxs yet.

There should be enough options to order online on launch day that websites aren't over loaded.



I've got 7 series x and 5 ps5s on order. I'll try and grab a few more on launch day.

I hope MS and Sony drop a stock pile a week after launch and you get stuck with $10k in hardware that youll lose $$ on.
