When Microsoft hinted last week that pre-ordering the Xbox Series X and Series S would be a much smoother process than the PS5 pre-order debacle, it probably should have checked with retailers first. So far, Xbox pre-orders are an absolute mess.
Minutes after Xbox pre-orders went live at 11 am Et today, several retailers came crashing down, including the Microsoft Store itself, which seemed to collapse pretty much immediately.

Best Buy and Amazon showed up late to the party, but listings either took an eternity to load or wouldn’t load at all, redirecting customers to error pages instead.
