Attention, https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny fans: The $499 https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X (along with the $299 https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series S, its less powerful little brother) was officially released on Tuesday, Nov. 10, and it’s available to buy in stores — if you can find one. The gamers of the world can now buy the new console that Microsoft touts as having “four times the processing power of the https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny One.” It also delivers backward compatibility with the vast majority of https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny One games (everything that’s not a Kinect title), and even some https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny 360 and original https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny titles.

It’s a fair guess that you didn’t manage to preorder an https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny back in September — the preorder window was a bust for most people. But will you be able to snag a console now? That’s a great question. Unlike Sony, which conducted an online-only launch for the PS5, Microsoft stocked the shelves both online and in stores. But as you scour the web and brick-and-mortar stores for inventory, temper your expectations. We expect limited quantities through the rest of the year.
To that end, here’s a list of the major retailers selling the https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X. Our advice is to seek out the $499 retail price, and avoid those pricy retailer bundles (that include extraneous controllers, accessories and games).
Best Buy was the last retailer standing back in the preorder days of September, but now stands ready for your https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X purchase this week.
GameStop has touted “very limited number of https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X and S console bundles for purchase” in-store for today’s release. But these are expected to be high-priced bundles.
This is Target’s product page for the https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X.
Amazon will be selling the https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X and the less expensive Series S from this same product page.
This is where you can purchase the https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X at Newegg come Nov. 10.
If you want to get the latest on the https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X, there’s probably nowhere better than Microsoft’s own https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X home page. Here you’ll find the latest specs, announced game titles, details on the new controller and more.
