While we saw genuine, tangible, real Xbox Series X restock action last week, this week could (might?) well be a totally different story. Not that that means we should be totally without hope but it might prove to be a lean week with expectations tempered until September really arrives and brings with it its own (hopefully) Xbox Series X stock action.
Given that the Limited Edition Halo Infinite Xbox Series X pre-orders started last week, this could mean we’re in for a quiet one for the regular console too. We hope not, but if those Halo consoles were last week’s splurge of available units, then that could mean it’s going to be slim pickings for the rest of the week while stock tries to catch up again. It’s worth noting that while the console looks to have gone (or the first wave at least), you might still have luck if you want to buy the Halo Infinite Xbox Elite Series 2 controller as retailers have had listings up for that.
Xbox Series X restock – tips & advice
It is incredibly frustrating that we are racing toward the one-year anniversary of the console’s launch and this is still the state of affairs we find ourselves in.
An ongoing reminder or ‘tactic’ that can be applied to each individual stock drop as well as the entire situation we find ourselves in is to be patient – your time will almost definitely come. If you get into a restock, then patience can be acutely important as retailers usually release stock in waves.
Also, making sure you’re signed in and have your payment details correct and ready to go is a top job to do at the beginning of every day that you plan to hunt for Xbox Series X restocks. There’s nothing worse than getting timed out or held back by a glitch in the system when you’ve finally managed to bag a console into your basket.
And should you get past the initial queues or virtual waiting rooms, don’t forget to go for the Xbox bundle listings. These larger Xbox Series X deals might be more of an initial investment, but they do stick about for longer. We would recommend going for these bundles anyway as you’ll likely get a game, or one of the best Xbox Series X headsets or best Xbox Series X accessories, thrown in too. These are genuinely useful.
