The Xbox Series S and Series X consoles will both be available starting on November 10th, and if you missed out on preordering either (or both — look, I’m not going to judge), you might be able to snag one online on launch day. Due to the pandemic, combined with the high demand for these consoles, retailers like Best Buy and Target are only selling online. That means you won’t be able to walk into a store to pick one up — unless you’ve purchased it already online. Only then will you be able to arrange an in-store pickup.
Until we hear from more retailers, I recommend keeping it locked to other popular sellers like Amazon, Target, the Microsoft Store, GameStop, Newegg, and (if you have memberships) Costco and Sam’s Club.
