Update, 2:50 p.m. PT: As with the PS5 and Xbox Series S, it seems that the first round of Xbox Series X preorders sold out at most retailers immediately. If more units become available, we’ll let you know about it here. 

We’ve been waiting for about a year. But like Sony’s rival PlayStation 5 console (coming Nov. 12), the Xbox Series X is almost here, along with the less powerful but more affordable Xbox Series S. The Xbox ships first, on Nov. 10, and Xbox preorders are now open (as of 8 a.m. PT/11 a.m. ET). After the train wreck that was Sony’s PS5 preorder experience, when retailers pulled the trigger early and sold out, in some cases within minutes, here’s hoping Microsoft’s big day goes more smoothly.
