Can anyone pre-order the new Xbox?

Moin dear community,

If the pre-orders are open from September 22nd, will they be available from midnight or will you still get information from when?

My question: until when can you pre-order it? Can anyone pre-order them or is pre-order no longer available if a certain number has been pre-ordered?

Sh

They have never been and will not be limited.
That's why you have pre-orders that everyone receives them by the release at the latest.

And of course anyone can pre-order them!

th

Even if a lot of others have already pre-ordered?

Te

Yes.

The pre-orders are not limited. If there are really bottlenecks, however, this is no guarantee that you will really get a console for the release.

If the dealers only have a limited number of items in stock, this usually follows the order in which the pre-orders were received. Therefore I would order as early as possible. I don't expect the console rush to be this big right from the start, especially with the Xbox.

So far there's no further information about the start, so I would (as of now) assume that you can pre-order from German retailers from midnight. (22.09.)

At Microsoft, the consoles are not limited compared to Sony.

So anyone can order without registering or the like, you can basically buy 10 pieces at the same time, with the new Playstation they are so limited that everyone only gets one console.

The drama was there with Ps4 back then, you can't manage as many as there are interested parties because pre-orders for the new consoles will be very limited

and it will be hard to get one for the first few months

You again… Neither Sony nor Microsoft can stop producing so much that the first batch is enough for everyone

Ad

Incidentally, that worked great with the Ps4 (not)

Te

300 million people can also pre-order. That would work, just not all of them would be delivered on the specified date.

Ad

Yep and that's exactly how it will go again this time months wait for many

the fact that Sony and Ms start pre-orders quite late this time certainly doesn't make it any better

Ke

For each?

As you know, Sony doesn't have that many units to sell. That means that not everyone gets a console: -D

th

Maybe with the PS5

It won't be any different at Microsoft. Even for Xbox One, it was hard to get for at least 2 to 3 weeks, the Ps4 was difficult to get for even longer

so far it would be about time that both times release the preorder

The One Launch was already cool back then, even if I would have wished for something different than the FIFA 14 which was my Day One supplement

Ad

It will be the case with Ps5

Ke

Uh Microsoft has at least announced when you can pre-order the consoles.

As far as I know, it is September 22nd.

Sony, on the other hand, is a silent lamb

Sh

If you "correctly" pre-ordered at the time and not from any dubious or secondary dealer sites, then you got the console in time. (do not pre-order 1 week in advance)

That was also the case with the ps3 unx xbox 360 and will be the same again this year…

Ad

:) That was also the case with the Ps2 (although the 899DM cost half a month's wage at the time)

At the beginning of the Ps3 it wasn't like that, which had a relatively bad start, probably also the high price and the game cucumber gschultet that existed in the first place (motor storm is one of the biggest junk I've ever gambled)

The crux of the matter is, however, PS4 and Xbox One could be pre-ordered quite soon after the press conference in the spring (I had my One on time at the time) and this time for both manufacturers that is not the case, so one assumes a release at the end of November (that's how it was before 7 years with Current gen) then this time we have just 2 months in advance
