If you’re like millions of other Xbox gamers, you’ve anxious to try a Xbox X Series (or maybe even an Xbox Series S) since the console was launched on November 10th. However, demand exceeded supply, and it was sold out within minutes at every major retailer. There have been a few extra inventory declines over the past few days, but in any case, precious customers have managed to snag a unit. This is partly due to resellers and bots regularly beat ordinary consumers.

Currently, there is nowhere to find stock, despite a handful of stock declines in stores like Walmart and Best Buy in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Twitter remains a source for many gamers to watch reload news, but it’s hard to say how credible the tweets are there. Unattached Twitter account @YtNextGenGaming recently reported that new inventory at retailers such as Best Buy, Costco, Target, Newegg and Walmart will fall. We will follow up if or when we receive additional information about this or any other stock.

We keep an eye on Twitter and other news sources, and we’ll keep you posted on what retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, GameStop and Target are planning. Still, it’s best to keep our expectations in check: Microsoft confirmed this in November Xbox inventory may be tight until April 2021.
The following is a list of the major subject retailers selling the Xbox Series X. Our advice is to look up 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 you do not expect to get one soon, try the Xbox Series S instead of saving $ 100.
Xbox Series X: Check Inventory
Best Buy was the last retailer to fall behind in the pre-order days of September, 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 ‘very limited number of Xbox Series X and S console bundles for sale’, but it’s currently sold out.
Walmart does a great job of noting the availability windows for PS5 and Xbox Twitter feed. You will also want to 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 hit the road, StockX is a trusted eBay-style site that lets you buy and sell new Xbox and PS5 models – as long as you are willing to pay more than $ 650.
