The good news is that we're coming across lots of top bundle offers, including the likes of Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, and Call of Duty. There's even the odd small discount on the gaming machine, so there's something for everyone's gaming tastes. In the US, it's best to head over to Microsoft for a surefire supply of new consoles.

Where to buy Xbox Series X - US
Amazon
Amazon has sporadically had Xbox Series X coming in and out of stock throughout all of 2023 so far. It still sells out pretty fast too - usually around 24 hours. The best way to secure one is by signing up for an exclusive invitation to make the purchase. Saves a lot of time and hassle.
Best Buy
Best Buy has Xbox Series X stock now coming in and out of stock on a regular basis. The pricing can be a bit all over the place but more often than not, you can still get the console at its suggested MSRP. You need to make an account to make the purchase with delivery times varying depending on where you're based in the US.

GameStop
Xbox Series X restocks via GameStop often come in expensive bundles that add everything from headsets and additional controllers to t-shirts and collectibles. It's worth looking elsewhere if you're not fussed about all that. At the least, the store does get stock reasonably regularly.
Where to buy Xbox Series X - UK
Why was the Xbox Series X out of stock?
The Xbox Series X stock shortage has a few causes, all working together to make it fairly difficult to pick up a new console. Chip shortages across the tech world have slowed production on everything from consoles to mobile phones due to the pandemic.
Back in early 2020, chip makers pivoted from declining markets like the automotive industry to meet the incredible demand for consumer electronics. This involved new processes and workloads, as the semi-conductor market scrambled to switch its focus. As the world shut down, however, so did factories and ports. That's when bad luck kicked in, as droughts, fires, and winter storms damaged chip plants and halted manufacture even further.
The events of the last 24 months have all swirled together to make it difficult for Microsoft to order enough chips to produce enough consoles and meet demand.
What times do retailers offer Xbox Series X restocks?
While timings can differ, generally US retailers launch Xbox Series X restocks in the late morning / early afternoon ET. Best Buy typically drops at around 12pm ET / 9am PT, with GameStop offering earlier drops from 10.30am ET / 7.30am PT onwards. Walmart has stuck to a fairly rigid 3pm ET / 12pm PT launch schedule over the last few months, however. That means we'd recommend keeping your hunt up between the hours of 10am ET / 7am PT and 4pm ET / 1pm PT.
Over in the UK, however, Xbox Series X restocks typically land in the morning. Game is known to drop its stock before 9am, but sites like Ebuyer, AO, Argos, and The Game Collection aren't too far behind, all dropping stock before midday in general.
Xbox Series X accessories
If you manage to score yourself an Xbox Series X restock, however, there are plenty of accessories lining the shelves. Picking up a spare controller or one of the best Xbox Series X headsets won't be as difficult as picking up the box itself.There's also some excellent news in the fact that you can still use your Xbox One controller on your new console as well.
For the full rundown on the most essential items, check out our guide to the best Xbox Series X accessories. We're also rounding up all the latest Xbox Game Pass deals and Xbox Live Gold 12 month prices further down as well.
