Microsoft teased the new https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny an entire year ago — and 2020 has been oh so long — but the big day is finally upon us. The https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X (along with the https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series S, its less powerful little brother) is officially available as of Tuesday, Nov. 10. 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 a 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, too.

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 after Nov. 10? That’s a great question. Unlike Sony, which has announced its PS5 launch will be online only, Microsoft has said no such thing. So you can begin scouring online and brick-and-mortar stores for inventory, but 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. You’ll want to seek out the $499 retail price, and avoid those pricy retailer bundles (where they add extraneous controllers, accessories and games).
Amazon will be selling the https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X and the less expensive Series S from this same product page.
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.
This is where you can purchase the https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X at Newegg come Nov. 10.
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.
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.
