I don't think there is a best place, they are all usually as bad as each other

 

[Robdav]

waiting...

Game is overloaded already, just get a 500 error when trying to login

Shopto allowed you to preorder a preorder, series X only, and one per customer per household. You effectively reserve a slot so you miss the 8am rush but still convert your interest into a pre order

The MS store should be the best option, I think.

 

[glenimp617]

after the debacle of the xbox one launch, I'm taking no chances this time round. I'll pre-order with as many places as I can.

First I've heard of that

I cant even see the X listed at Amazon yet. All other sites seem to have a dedicated page for it.

And yeah, Game is down yay. Kicks you out of the queue so you then have to wait and rejoin last in the queue.

I wonder if Smyths/Game have a stock allocation for all access, because filling out the finance application will take longer than buying outright so I’d imagine those people will miss out

 

[rickjames]

I'm going via MS, if only because you should get some rewards points. All OK for the moment...

 

[glenimp617]

amazing the amount of retailers who don't use cloud dynamic scaling. No website should ever go down in 2020.

I'd be surprised if MS or Amazon struggle though.

I don't think you get rewards points for pre-ordering but we'll see.

[glenimp617]

Simplygames were the same, I received an email (sent to those who pre-registered interest,) it had a unique link to purchase a bundle, but it was a first come first served basis.

Argos.

Not much more than people with 10 tabs auto refreshing, or using bots

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Well, that's mine preordered.
