Do you people have to pay complete money upfront? I am trying on one of the retailer here but they are asking full money upfront.

Nice one!
You gonna try and bag another to be sure?
Edit: Wait, just realised what that is.
Not me. Someone on resetera, I managed to preorder one from GAME too, but cost £515 or something with controller.
@VeevaVee I got on amazon before the link was even up. Managed to get one with GAME just in case. Same thing I did with PS5. Those two are the ones, now to debate which one I should cancel. Amazon have great returns, but DPD are better couriers than Amazon. Jeff Bezos vs Mike Ashley.
Amazon, MS store and GAME no. But places like Argos and Currys yeah.
Argos back up and order gone through! Wooo
Tip for Argos, if you manage to get it in your trolley but order won't go through, go back to your trolley with the Delivery/Collection - Out of Stock message while it's in your basket, then just refresh every now and again. If it comes back in stock youll have really quick access to placing the order, which is how I think I managed to get there in time.

Series S available on Amazon. X gone.

Lots of places still with stock an hour after pre-ordering started.
I've no interest in the X but will probably do the All Access for the S in the future.
Ordered an X in store at Game, all pretty civilised until someone threatened to beat me up because I wasn’t queuing inside. What’s the point of being sandwiched inside? That’s not safe so i waited until there was no queue in store before walking in....they should have had a one in, one out policy anyway! obviosuly the pandemic doesn’t exist in preorder land
also ordered a Series S on Amazon because I’m undecided. PS5 will be my main machine so perhaps it’s best I just get an S for the Xbox/Bethesda games.

Wow. He sold one at 600 then put the price up. What a cnut
Surely no way he can get it to them on the 10th either?
Could probably just change the delivery address on the order he placed.
Absolute scum.
Ohhh yeah. Big time cnut move
Eurogamer have the expandable storage as £159. The price is from Smyths, but sadly their website is a bit shit right now.
Do we know how well standard external storage will perform?
I have one of these in a case. Thinking I'll put indie games on it, and bigger games directly on my Xbox, with a view to buying the official extra storage down the line.

Series S still available at Argos 1 hour 23 minutes after pre-orders opened.
Pre-ordered from Amazon but tried to get All Access too. Smyths was saying no consoles at 8am, and I got into the queue at Game only to end with a 'Site is closed for maintenance' page.
The S isn't for the hardcore early adopters, it's for the parent buying for their kid at Xmas or a 2nd console. I'm sure it'll sell bucket loads if they have availability on it.
We all know the S has more appeal over time, for people who have a PS5 but want a more powerful console too.
It is similar to PS5 in terms of you can use any old HDD to play older games. But Xbox uses proprietary cards, so you need to buy official ones, if you want to play series x games on them.
Ah ok, so probably won't even be able to have updated indie games on there. Shit's gonna get expensiiiive.
The S is also easy to produce. Look at the size of that thing. You could produce four of them in the time it takes to produce one PS5.
Once again, and say it with me:
Series S is not an enthusiast device, it's a secondary console aimed at the general public that don't want to splash lots of cash on gaming hardware.
Now, guess who pre-orders day one?
I wonder how some people tie their own shoelaces.

Nearly 2 hours after pre-ordering started, Series S still available at lots of retailers.
What about the X?
Sold out apparently
Not available, just giving updates on MS's other next gen console which according to @Spoony was a PS5 killer. Still available to order.
This is correct.
Honestly, I don't see much appeal in buying an Xbox this year. I think the appeal will start to show come Christmas next year when Microsoft start to bring out some noteworthy exclusives and you can get full value out of the All-Access option (unless of course you missed a lot of the games currently on GamePass then it's a good option still for those people).
There's all the third party games people want to play in the meantime. Cyberpunk, AC Valhalla, COD etc. all available on release or very close to.
There's loads of appeal for buying this year if it's your primary console.
Finally got one from Game! Ordered it at half 8 after being in a queue for ages. Never saw a dicky bird on Smyths but sorted one with Game - so happy. Did you manage to get one?
Yeah, Amazon and GAME for the X. Going to end up cancelling probably GAME.
Which model did you end up going for?
Glad you got one! The X - convinced my wife we 'needed' it
Can confirm, still available on Amazon.
I'd agree if you don't have a current gen console already. You can play them all on current gen, so I'd argue that there is no need to upgrade right away, unless you're in (what is definitely a minority) that want to play the game in the 'full phat' experience of 4K and hopefully improved framerates (not happening for ACV it seems at least).
I don't think there's an argument that All-Access is a better deal a year down the line when you can start with Halo and probably get more exclusives in that two year period than if you bought it in November.
Can you update the thread so people know Microsoft’s next gen console is still available to pre order
