New xbox

[iruntodrink]

Hi guys, barging in to seek guidance on the new xbox. It's the one thing H wants for Xmas and he asked yesterday if I pre-ordered it and spoiler alert, i did not.

Anyone here get it or know where I should order it?

We're a Playstation family, so I haven't been looking. I think with either of the new consoles, you'll have to be quick when they come in stock. Everyone wants them. Check the different stores' websites to see if they will notify you when they will be putting more in stock. GameStop has one you can sign up for.

Best of luck

whelp that was a bust. I was logged in, all info ready for an instant check-out and I kept getting the "add to cart" option but it would kick me out. Am I an asshole wife if I put a card under the tree to tell him he's going to get one when they are readily available? It's not like a concert ticket where there are a limited number. He will get his Xbox, just like he always has 🤣🤷🏽‍♀️😭

Could you make a cardboard cutout in the shape and size of a Xbox? Then put that in a box with the note, and wrap it. That way he still has something to unwrap.

yeah, I'll do that. Yesterday I got an alert about Best Buy and couldn't get one. He was right there and said it's fine if I can't get it before Christmas, because we agree I am not paying more than retail. Fucking bots and scalpers.

You could even paint it to look like an Xbox. That would be cute.

And yeah, trying to get a console sucks. We've been debating getting the new PS5, but they're so hard to find.

I'm so grateful H is one who prefers to wait for a few months so that they can work out the bugs. He'll probably get his next year for Christmas is he doesn't go get one in like July or something.
