Where to order the Xbox Series X/S
Microsoft is releasing two new consoles – the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S – worldwide on November 10.
Pre-orders for the gaming machines opened in September and sold out within minutes. Stock remains in short supply.
However, some shops are expected to open up additional sales on launch day.
Due to sky-high demand and the coronavirus pandemic, most retailers are only selling the console online.
That means you won’t be able to walk into a store on launch day and grab one, unless you pre-ordered a console online.
To be in with a chance of getting your hands on a Series X/S, we suggest checking back with the following retailers on November 10.
They all offered pre-orders of the consoles – though that’s an indicator that they’ll have stock available at launch, rather than a guarantee.
Demand is expected to be very high so make sure you hit the links early to give yourself the best chance of getting one.

What are the Xbox Series X and Series S?
The Xbox Series X and Series S are the latest consoles from Microsoft.
They’re the follow ups to the Xbox One X and Xbox One S respectively.
The Series X is all about power and performance, and is said to be so fast that it virtually eliminates loading times.
It’ll be capable of processing games in glorious 8K definition and render huge virtual worlds not seen in any console before it.
The Series S is a bit smaller and cheaper, with lower specs and no disc tray.
Gamers will have to download all of the titles they want instead of buying physical copies.
Both consoles launch November 10 worldwide.
