Although the Xbox X Series and Series S were launched last fall, the demand for Microsoft’s latest game consoles is still much better than the offer. In fact, many gamers have been waiting for months to get their hands on these consoles. It seems like the only way anyone can score one is to report at the exact moment that there is a new inventory reduction at major retailers like Target, Best Buy, GameStop or the Microsoft Store. And even if your wind catches a stock coming again, there is still no guarantee of success. The whole routine starts to feel like Groundhog Day. You learn about an Xbox Series X stock, click mania, wait in line – only to be confronted with an extremely frustrating “sold out” message.
But there are ways to increase your chances on an Xbox Series X. Do not wait until you hear an update about an Xbox stock again. We recommend that you check the store inventory links yourself, daily or even several times a day. (We’ve all listed below.) If you have Xbox available, it’s time to put it all into practice. Use as many web browsers and devices as you can. On a desktop, for example, you can open the store page in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Then you can also do it on your phone and tablet. It’s like with lottery tickets: The more you have, the better your chances of winning.

Twitter remains a useful resource for many gamers who consult news anew, but even when the conditions are credible, they are rarely warned for more than a few minutes and the stock sells within minutes. Still, there are better times ahead – just not this week.
One tip: look for the $ 500 sale price and avoid the expensive retail bundles, which include foreign controllers, accessories, and games. Even better, if you do not have a 4K TV and do not expect to get one soon, get the Xbox Series S instead and save $ 200.
At the moment there is no stock anywhere, but we keep an eye on Twitter and other news sources, and we will keep you informed of what retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, GameStop and Target are. planning. The following is a list of the major subject retailers selling the Xbox Series X.
Xbox Series X: Check Inventory
Best Buy was the last retailer to fall behind in the pre-order days, but is now ready for your Xbox Series X purchase as stock allows.
Amazon sells the Xbox Series X and the cheaper Series S from the same product page.
GameStop had presented a “very limited number of Xbox Series X and S console bundles for sale”, but it’s currently sold out.
Walmart is doing a great job noticing the availability windows for PS5 and Xbox Twitter feed. You can also visit the Xbox landing page for both new consoles.
If you want to get the latest on the Xbox Series X, there is probably nothing better than Microsoft’s own Xbox Series X homepage. Here you will find the latest specifications, announced game titles, details about the new controller and more.
This is Target’s product page for the Xbox Series X.
This is where you can buy the Xbox Series X at Newegg if the retailer has stock.
Are you getting desperate already? Are you willing to pay a premium of hundreds of dollars over the list price? Listen, we would not do that and we do not recommend that you do. But if you want to get down to business, StockX is a trusted eBay-style website that lets you buy and sell new Xbox and PS5 models – as long as you are willing to pay $ 650.
To be clear, we strongly recommend waiting for stock to appear at regular retailers so that you can purchase an Xbox Series X at the usual price. But if you have decided that you simply can not wait another moment, the average Xbox Series X price on eBay is about $ 800.
