I'd like to get my kids an Xbox for Christmas but they have been out of stock every time I've checked, any tips for where or when to look? I assume quantities are limited so resellers are buying whenever they become available.

Signup for GameStop Pro. They release their Xbox and PS5 stock to their Pro customers first so you have a much better chance of snagging one. My friends and I all got one this way.

Only other one I’d mention is StockX. I got mine from there and it arrived new in box very quickly. Paid about $200 premium for it.

As a heads up - the Xbox Series X is barely capable of supporting next gen games and constantly crashes due to overheating issues in addition to game bugs. I know that doesn’t play into a kid/adults concept of “I want this right now”, but something to consider if your kids can be reasoned with.

I’m happy with the purchase but definitely want to put the controller through a wall when the system crashes in the middle of a game.

I found Series S bundled with a charger at sam's club for $340. I hate not having a disk drive but I pulled the trigger as they have a 90 day return policy.

Are you recommending to hold out for the next version or just against Series X?

Thanks all, thankfully kids aren't aware of this yet so maybe I just wait out the chip shortage unless I get lucky.

Ugh I wanted to take my son to see a UFC match in person. Just so happens there is one in November at Madison Square Garden - great right!

The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!
