Not clear if these are being delivered for launch but let's assume they are. Since Microsoft teamed with EB, it looks like they are the only ones with re-stocks on the pre-orders at the moment.

If you you really want one and can, go to a store. The bots are hard to compete with and their wesbite is sack of shit with the overload.

I do not see this on ebgames website, and I am not sure WHICH STORE will have the pre-order.

Best to call your local location(s) to determine if they will be having any.

Its still odd that this is nowhere to be found on their site nor have they sent it out via email. I've seen a link to the image hosted on their site so I think its legit but its just weird they are staying silent.

Is this even real though? There's no mentioning this on their website, and no locations given on "selected" stores. They can't possibly make everyone just guess and line up in front of any random EB games store.

It's EB Games/Gamestop after all. Did you expect anything better?

There's a thread in Hot Deals where someone was 3rd (and last) in line and got a console. The store apparently only had 3 Series X available for purchase.

I will try the online purchase tomorrow, but I cant find the link on the site and I cannot find the time.

Well thought I had some time but I can't cancel my Walmart pre-orders for the X and S now ... have to either reject at delivery or return to store.

In the other thread, I saw people mention 3 units & 5 units for the EB games in-store pre-order today, so very little was available

Just not sure why there isn't a time on the online preorder.

A lame attempt at avoiding their site being overrun? Not giving bots a chance to prepare? I guess "we'll put em up when we put em up lol" is easier/cheaper than implementing some sort of queue system.

People will spend more time aimlessly surfing the site and hopefully buy other stuff

Just placed an order at EB Games for a Series X on my phone (checked the site at 11:03). Was suspiciously painless.

It was already OOS again when I checked at like 11:20. Lol
