The MS store is a super pain in the ass because I think they are really getting hammered and it's slow, crashes and keeps giving errors but it seems like that's where it's most people are having any success. Seems like the fucking bots cleared everywhere else out the second it went live.

I find it funny that I have an Xbox Series X and you and other of the green team don't.

 

[dave_d]

Wow, 1700 listings on Ebay already.

 

[Mass Shift]

Yeah, couldn't get one. All sites were a bogged down mess. Couldn't get through no matter what.

 

[dorkimoe]

i wonder when the ssd expansions will be out?

Wow, 1700 listings on Ebay already.

You can report them. Ebay allows pre orders, but the item has to be shipped within 30 days which you cant do currently with xbox same with ps5

 

[dave_d]

I wonder how much trouble it's going to be to get a Zen 3 when those come out. I'm probably going to have to go to Microcenter if I want one of those.

 

[dolabla]

I got one a few minutes after.

It's been about an hour since I preordered and nothing ***nervousness intensifies***

 

[CatLady]

What are you talking about? I got one at the MS store, it was just kind of a pain since the site kept lagging and crashing.

 

[Stephen Curry]

Best Buy works now. Just got one

 

[MarkMe2525]

.. 10:03 for an 11 AM pre order? ... ummm yeah.. they said 11 AM. Their page was borked by then. So, yeah... they couldn't handle the traffic either.

I tried around then to help a friend get one and I couldn't get in. I couldn't get Best Buy to load the page on my PC after a while, just got an oops message. Much later, I found out it sold out, likely using their mobile app. While my PC couldn't get access to any item on Best Buy after a while, their mobile app loaded right up and showed the Series X gone.

I finally got in to Gamestop.com, got approved for All Access, and then couldn't complete the checkout process because they were sold out, even though, I was able to get to the complete order screen.

All kinds of fun.

Hey goober, I live in central time Zone so yeah, 10 am. Sorry to mess up your gotcha moment.

Still saying this for me

Due to high demand, this item hasn't been added to your cart. Please wait a few minutes before trying again.

You mean the one that says:

"Thank you for shopping with us. We’ll send a confirmation when your item ships. "

I think that one is automated. I got the same one. If you have secured another pre-order, don't cancel it just yet.

[sw0mp_d0nk3y]

Thanks. Grabbed one from Bestbuy.

 

[dolabla]

Hell to the yes! Was finally able to get my order in on Best Buy!

 

[iJudged]

is amazon usually good on the release date deliveries?

Same here.

 

[Admerer]

Woke up @ 11:40am and realized
I missed my chance to pre-order

Checked out this thread to see what's up, someone posts the Amazon pre-order link and I was able to pre-order.

Thank you Neogaf.

I had no issues with the ps4. Got it on launch day.

Hey, ... goober..

I forgot to account for time zones. Also, it wasn't meant as a gotcha statement, though I'm sure that's how it came across. Sorry about that.

Nice to ignore the rest of the main point. There are posts all over twitter showing that MS's own pre order pages were screwed up for not being able to handle the traffic. Just like other retailer's pages, they had their own issues, so I doubt buying up or managing the other retailer's pages would have worked out better.

Gratz on getting yours though

 

[MarkMe2525]

Same here.

Keep smashing preorder!!!!

 

[dolabla]

Same here.

Keep clicking that pre-order button. It finally went through for me and was able to actually place an order.

 

[soulbait]

I was just able to get one on BestBuy for in store pickup. It seems like to me, BestBuy keeps slowly adding more inventory.

I get ya, I'm a cynical bastard. I take everything the wrong way

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

OOOOOOOOOOOKay. FINALLY got one through Best Buy. So I have PS5 and X1X locked through BB. Now the big question, which preorder to keep? Or keep both like a madman?

 

[Sir Vilhelm]

Best Buy works now. Just got one

You Are The <insert preference gender>!!! Thank you, I gave up but just secured one from BB

 

[JLMC469]

I preordered the PS5 using my connection @ Best Buy.

Going to talk to him and see if I can change it to Series X.

keep both of course wtf

I'm getting both like a madman . First time since PS3/Wii I've bought two consoles that released around the same time frame. Series X for multiplats for sure.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Wow. That's cool Best Buy came through like that. Here's hoping that everybody's pre-orders come through and ship in a timely manner!

 

[dave_d]

Finally got one through BB as well. As every one says just keep hitting the pre-order button. (A bunch of times for me.)

 

[Melchettsmoustache]

Got mine through Shopto in the U.K.

They have stuck a 1 per household rule on the PS5 and won’t confirm day 1 release but the Xbox Series X seems to be confirmed already. fingers crossed anyway.

 

[IbelieveInGenerations]

Thinking about cancelling my PS 5 preorder and grabbing the Series X. Im not sure If I should do that now.

What your guys thoughts?

 

[Admast79]

Yeah it seems to have been way more civilised in the UK.

No it wasn't.

Amazon, didn't show up anything and when it showed up - all gone.
Game - website fucked up completely for a few hours, when it went back - bam, no stock.
Microsoft - slow as hell, then error as they couldn't process the payment.

Overall no one was ready for this madness.

 

[OmaeWaMouShindiggity]

I am reloading like crazy at 11am and I only want the S.

Well color me wrong. Thankfully I got my X and once the hype dies down I’ll catch a PS5 at Target or something in the next year.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

This seemed more stressful than the PS5 launch for me. Also, Best Buy has been a disaster for both launches. I think they need to self-reflect.

It was

I am surpised you didn't hook us up with the links in this thread .... . Did you get a pre-order in?

Yes

[Darklor01]

OK, got one through Best Buy with some persistence.

 

[Nikana]

best buy secured! Thank god, I want to be able to pick this up vs waiting for shipping!

Go with your gut. I think the question is do you like gamepass? Gamepass saved me from switching, mainly after yesterday's announcement. I like Bethesda and Machine games, so knowing their games will be day 1 gamepass sealed the deal.

 

[Jigga117]

Done got 2 secured

 

[Codswallop_]

Had to refresh the Best Buy website a million times, but it finally let my Series X order go through and confirmed it!

 

[Nikana]

Done got 2 secured

Bro, Make those pics small lol.

 

[Kagey K]

What a fuckin mess, got my MS store one in easy, but the BB one was a disaster.

Sell the PS5 and in the ad state that it's overpriced for a router and barely works most of the time.

 

[Jigga117]

Yep Best Buy kept saying sold out then randomly available this whole time all access on their site still says “coming soon”

 

[plip.plop]

Oh man, I just got hired on with Amazon. November is going to suck. lol

 

[MaximusPayne]

Just got one from BB as well. Do it quick!

 

[DoomGyver]

Finally got one through Best Buy. Nearly 3 hours of refreshing bs.

I was too nervous getting my own. Haha. And everyone already had them! I was able to get one from Walmart and amazon. Will cancel one when it gets closer.
