Buy Xbox Series X. How?

Beautiful good day!

I would like to know from people who have already managed to buy an Xbox Series X how they did it or generally know how to buy the permanently sold out console.

For example, have you personally asked at the Gamestop whether you can order or reserve the Xbox Series X as soon as some are available for sale again so that you can pick them up and pay for them right away?

Or have you bought it on the Internet on websites like Saturn or Gamestop and waited until it was available for you to pick up?

I've already looked myself and on Microsoft's website about the Xbox Series X is sold out in every market and it is also not available in the online shop of the Gamestop in the shopping center near me. At Saturn, pick-up is not possible in this store, even though it was actually open for pick-ups the last time I went by.

However, I wouldn't care how long I had to wait for an Xbox Series X to be available again, as long as I could order one in advance and it would be available sometime this year.

(In the Gamstop online shop, however, it is apparently not even possible to pre-order)

In other stores like real the console is available for 799 euro, which is simply too much when it actually costs around 500 euro.

What ideas do you have on how to buy an Xbox Series X.

How did you get one?

Unfortunately only stalking shop pages helps.

Okay thanks! I look for cheap online offers.

Anything under 500 euro is fake, stay away from it

Wait or get the console needed. Maybe buy a Nintendo Switch to start with. It is always available and you can also have fun with it. After that, you can still buy the X-Box Series X or PS5 as a second console in 2022.

Great, he wants to buy an Xbox Series X and you would advise him to buy a Switch?

Sk

Okay thank you very much! I'm personally not interested in Nintendo Switch and the "backwards compatibility system", ie the ability to play older Xbox games for older Xbox devices on the new console, is important to me.

So I decided to go for the X-Box Series X. PS5 is not bad either, but first of all it doesn't have the "backwards compatibility" (except up to a maximum of PS4) and you can argue about the quality of the case.

However, I have a lot of time and patience. ^ _ ^

Is not so bad! I'm looking forward to many nice suggestions and answers.

Sk

Really? How much do you typically pay for an Xbox Series X? So… Normal price.

Indeed, the availability of both consoles is still an issue right now.

I was able to buy my Series X from Saturn a week before the release and had it here just in time for the start.

I only managed to do this by looking at the websites of the well-known big dealers and various news sites early and all morning almost every day.

So Microsoft, Saturn, Media Markt, Otto, Euronics, Gamestop or Expert.

They get smaller contingents every now and then which are sold out just as quickly.

You don't have any other option at the moment.

And I wouldn't recommend another one either. There are many fake shops and rip-offs where you should definitely not buy.

Ma

499.99 euro and never buy it from unknown shops.

Ma

The original price is exactly one cent below 500 euro.

Sk

Oh okay, thank you very much for the info and the hint!

Sk

Oh well, okay! Many thanks for your response!

Okay then I'll check the online shops every day.

Ma

With pleasure

Not long ago I came across these in loads of 499.00 each in MediaMarkt, take a look there.

Sk

Thank you very much for the info! I'll have a look right away.
