Microsoft Store taking Xbox Series S orders, but they won’t arrive until December

Didn’t snag an Xbox Series X or S on launch day? The Microsoft Store is taking new orders for Xbox Series S. This is the smaller, all-digital model of Microsoft’s next-gen console.

And they're gone. Both Series X and S.

Series S is still available for expected delivery of January 4th.

You're going to be hard pressed getting a hold on a PS5 or Xbox series in the next few months.

I got my PS5, and that was only because I have a friend who runs a store selling them.

Reports are that they won't be readily available on store shelves until Mar-Apr 2021. I was fortunate, I was able to preorder several of each console for my friends and family.

I waited, just because I wanted to know, for certain, what the state of backwards compatibility was for the PS5.
Figured I'd get it a bit down the road either way.
Then my friend said he could get me one, and I sold my Pro, and a couple games I no longer played, and got $300 towards it.

If you didn't spring, or know somebody, it's going to be hard getting one for Christmas, which is sad.

Surprised you got a PS5, Cruz. Any games you got with it?

MadLad1682d ago (Edited 1682d ago )

Honestly, just Demons Souls remake. I haven't been impressed with either console's releases.
I got a PS5 because I have a good collection of PS4 games, and the BC support was there and justified the extra couple hundred I was paying.

I typically wait until half into the generation to grab consoles, when they're cheaper, or the (now) mid-gen refresh is available.

Nice work Ted! Seen you posting on N4G for some time now, i think i recall seeing that you were having issues getting a next gen console previously. Glad you are able to enjoy next-gen! Feel really bad for all of those whose potential consoles went to scalpers. Also - when the next console launch rolls around, hook me up with that friend of yours so i don't have to nearly have a heart attack trying to get the consoles lol.

MadLad1682d ago

I got lucky. Even they're getting just a couple here and there.
I was just going to wait a couple of years, until more exclusives were out, but it sort of fell in my lap and made financial sense, so.

nickanasty2061682d ago

Super excited for you man!

MadLad1682d ago

It's appreciated, guy.

nickanasty2061682d ago

Interested to hear your thoughts on the Dual Sense, Astro etc. Keep me updated with what games you went with.

In my country, XSX is already gone but XSS is still on the shelves. You can just get it. Saw it yesterday.

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Lightning771d ago

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

First Forza being generated entirely via AI?

If any company would do it, it'd be them.
