Shipping date has been updated to 11/12 now. Still won't let me check out. I HAVE AN ORDER NUMBER AND EVERYTHING

That's the same thing that happened to me on the day they went on sale. So damn frustrating. I "had" one on MS right away but couldn't even buy it. You'd think by 2020 there would be better ways to do this stuff.

Here's hoping you guys get one....go tumorman go!

Mine's on the truck since 7am PST and says deliver by 8pm. It's Fedex and they have traditionally been better about delivering before 6pm than UPS (if it was UPS, I'd resign myself to it getting here right at 8pm). Crossing fingers for me and all of y'all.

My buddy did a FedEx facility pickup because he thought he'd get it earlier. Still hasn't been updated at the facillity for pickup and he just sent me this picture:

They always do that with me too. I figure they load all the residential stuff on the truck first, then load all the business stuff. Then they deliver all the businesses first and then the residential, so our stuff drives around all day. What's strange is that the truck seems to go back to the warehouse multiple times, so they must still figure out that's the best way to do it.

Been on hold for almost 40 mins. Just answer the phone please god

Tentonhammer · Nov 10, 2020

Uh oh....launch day nightmare!! Not sure if this is affecting the website tumorman but good luck there. These issues are usually resolved in under an hour at least the last few that I've even noticed where resolved fairly quickly.

My cart is still active thankfully....just still can't fully place the order. I'm so sick of hearing this knock off "Float On" on their hold music.

Can I play Xbox Series X games on xcloud?

The cross-gen version. AFAIK, xCloud does not have Series X hardware blades as yet....only X1S blades.

tumorman · Nov 10, 2020

I'm pretty sure having only one hold song go beyond an hour is a violation of the Geneva Convention.

Attempted to do a force push from the U.K., I think I s*** myself.

Been on hold for almost two hours at this point. At least I'm not the only one having troubles.

tumorman · Nov 10, 2020

ANNNNNND finally got through after 2 hours and 10 minutes on hold. They definitely sold out and weren't able to push the order through. SMH

I'm gonna need a poster here to just give me theirs please and thanks.

Mine arrived! Didn't have to wait until late. Doing the painful updating now. This setup interface is terrible. Maybe just ask me my language to start off, instead of flashing in various symbols?

Forza Horizon 4 and Watch Dogs Legion are the 2 biggest titles I’ve found that don’t have quick resume

Amazon came through yesterday but holy s*** do they suck at packaging a console. We'll see how BB does when I get it.
