If you’re still hunting for an Xbox Series X, the console is back in stock at Best Buy.
The restock kicked off Wednesday around noon ET / 9 a.m. PST. Sales are also open to all customers, no Totaltech membership required. Nor is the console being sold as an expensive bundle. Use the link below:
Xbox Series X for $499.99
However, it seems Best Buy is only selling the console for in-store pickup, for at least some US customers. In our case, the home delivery option wasn’t available; Best Buy said it would make the Xbox Series X ready for pickup by April 24 with the option to hold it until April 29.
If you do order the console from Best Buy, you should be placed into a digital queue. The retailer will then eventually place the product into your cart for checkout. During our attempt to buy the Xbox Series X, we encountered no technical snafus. So this may mean demand for the console has died down, making it easier for consumers to snag one.
If the stock does run out, don’t worry. In recent weeks, there have been signs supplies of the Xbox Series X have significantly improved. A month ago, Walmart had the console consistently in stock for a few weeks at the regular $499 price before eventually selling out.
Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Sony’s PlayStation 5. The console continues to sell out in minutes and the restocks seem to only be occurring at the major retailers every month. For other tips on snagging a PS5 or an Xbox Series X, check out our guide.
