Re: Xbox Series X ($499) and Xbox Series S ($299) Release on November 10, Pre-Orders

I just got notified that preorder was canceled. So I will have to see what I can do at retail stores on day one. The ones by me say they have 6ish. Only available through pickup via the app the night before. No waiting outside or in a line.. Any suggestions to help to get one would help. Never ordered online for a limited order item.

Where did you preorder from?

I have been hearing about Target cancelling because they took more then they should have.

I got my x and ps5 pre ordered on Amazon but scared since I read on twitter some on Amazon got updated status to delivery on release day by 9pm and mine for both say order received.

But to be honest am more concerned about finding an asus strix oc 3090 LOL

Damn, sounds like they messed up and allowed more pre-orders than they had units available like other retailers did.

I just checked my order and thankfully it is still pending. Mine went through 15 minutes after the pre-orders opened up, though.

Sony trying to spin their pre orders to make it seem like it has been amazing compared to ps4

Media ran with it but it was 12 weeks on pre order and not 12 weeks post launch

remember ps4 was hard to find for months when it came out unless you got lucky with the pre order and they even told you that for this gen they would have far more and now trying to spin it like it has been an amazing demand

Well it would have been an amazing demand on ps4 if you actually made more

As bad as xbox one sold last gen it sold great the first week. First batches are always going to sell superbly because enthusiasts and scalpers buy day 1

casuals who make up the bulk buy later

I think the hype between now and last gen is night and day.

Same here. Since it releases on the 10th it's probably just Walmart's standard two day shipping. Looks like they might not have been able to get them to people by launch date for whatever reason.

Sucks, but I'll be happy just to get one.

For those doubting that series x/s are the only next gen consoles with FULL RDNA 2 here it is

The Ascent has been delayed to 2021 but will now be on Game Pass day one. It's a cyberpunk isometric action RPG. I have been interested in The Ascent since it was revealed back in May on the Xbox Game Showcase. I'm actually happy that it was pushed into 2021 as it was going to get buried if it released in Nov/Dec. And with the delay, it will now be on Game Pass day one. Very much looking forward to playing The Ascent when it releases.

What does that even mean. I read online that Microsoft has direct x and Sony has their own thing but they are essentially the same.

This is huge!!! The series x is going to be a problem. I just hope the devs actually decide to push the console and give us some nice looking games.

Sony ****ting the bed with their preorders is turning out to be a blessing in disguise for me since I had zero plans to buy an Xbox this generation. Looks like multi-platform games are going to have an advantage on Xbox again. Hopefully devs will take advantage as you stated.
