Hi Matt! I was able to get a ps5 thanks to your twitter alerts! I was wondering if you were going to also do alerts for the nintendo switch lite since that seems to be sold out everywhere I check. Thank you!

Luis, Are you referring to the OLED version?

I've noticed the Switch Lite is out of stock too. Do you not want the Switch OLED instead? Just want to make sure. Thanks for your support Luis!

Hi Matt, I was able to snag a Series X All Access via BestBuy on Nov 10th. Just decided to check the site while reading your tweets and got lucky. It seems they had that going for hours! Now waiting to pick up on Sunday. In fact it was still there next day morning! Not sure why this news was not more public. I have BestBuy Elite status so wondering if it was limited by membership status.

@Matt just to add to this. I called a few of my local targets. They said they will have some some in-store Xbox Series X. Said that the website often takes 24 hours to fully update once they unload a truck ( I imagine it is some kind of inventory scripting that runs on Targets back end every so often). I am concluding from this that while you can order them online your best chances may be in store by calling them. For instance, today I was told they are getting shipment in tomorrow and should have truck unloaded by 9am. We shall see how my experience goes tomorrow morning.

Can confirm that Target is available outside of ordering on the site. Went today to the store and was able to secure Xbox Series X even though the website say 0 in stock.

Thanks, Matt! I tried mine in NYC and no luck. I'll change the text on what you and others have experienced!

Hey Matt I noticed that the Target website doesn’t show the Xbox Series X anymore. Is it better to just try your luck by going to the local target store?

His writeup explicitly says to purchase online, then pickup in store.

Nope. Target pulls the pages until it's back and ready to issue inventory. It's annoying, but the way it's been working. Good question, but like AmericanJedi said, best not to annoy them until they change the policy and start selling in stores.

Hey Matt! Thanks to you I was able to snag a PlayStation! Have you heard anything about the Halo edition Xbox at Best Buy or Amazon? Time seems to be running out for them to open preorders. Love your work!
