    No I was tempted but by the All Access offer of game pass (which I use) and an S for £21 a month. Went away and thought about it and figured a X for £29 a month wasn't much more and, in many ways, more affordable than replacing my rx480 in my PC. After discussing with my wife, I went looking 2 days after launch to see if I could join a pre-order backlog as I only want it for Christmas... Turns out not only is pre-ordering for launch day not possible (Not surprised). Neither is there a way to join a cue for those of us happy to wait... You'd figure Microsoft would have implemented a queuing system for Christmas for those not looking for a day one system?

    Contemplating a Series X on All Access. Probably not before Christmas though.

    Day one Series X for me.

    Sat with open tabs on almost all stores.

    When Amazon finally put the Series X online at about 8:13, I was refreshing the product until the product propagated.

    Imagine I was one of the first few to checkout on Amazon.

    Everywhere else seemed to fail miserably - sites couldn't handle the load, or massive queues which reset before some of my friends got to the end.

    Nope!
    I did not.
    PS5 is (unnecessarily) chunky and lack of required GPU (compute) power.
    Most likely that I'll be on hold until PS5 Pro (announcement & release).
    On the other hand, I am monitoring Xbox Series X. If availability meets with the 499 $ price, why not?
    I am ready to get one.
    Since I have a powerful enough personal computer (and enjoying my demon's souls emulation in 3840x2160 resolution) no need to rush for anything for me.
    I am good...

    Series S for the wife. I'll swap my One X for the Series X+ when it comes out.
