Fans who have been itching to get their hands on an Xbox One X will want to check out GameStop’s website. The next round of pre-orders is scheduled for tomorrow and it’s expected to be another Hunger Games situation. Fortunately, publications have been posting instructions on how customers can increase their chances of walking away with a unit of the console.
This next round of pre-orders pertains only to the regular edition of the new Xbox One X, GameSpot reports. The previous round involved the Project Scorpio Special Edition version, which sold out almost immediately. For customers who don’t really mind ending up with the less special versions, pre-orders start on September 20th, starting at 10 a.m. PT or 1 p.m. ET.
With regards to how many units of the console are going to be available, neither GameStop nor Microsoft have provided any details. Then again, it’s safe to assume that the outcome is likely going to be the same as when the Project Scorpio version was put up for pre-order. This means that the units are likely to run out quickly.
It’s worth noting that there is also another reason why customers might want to take advantage of this new pre-order cycle since GameStop is offering a $200 reward for trade-ins. That is to say, customers who trade in older consoles will get a nice discount for the more powerful Microsoft console, provided the console actually meets the conditions.
The Xbox One X is set to launch on November 7th, Forbes reports, which is when the consoles will land in the hands of customers who pre-ordered one. Other than GameStop, it seems other retailers are about to open their pre-order lines soon as well. This could include Walmart, which might be able to open its own pre-orders on September 21st.
