If you’ve had no luck nabbing the Xbox Series X, today may be your lucky day. Best Buy has the coveted next-gen console in stock for its usual price of $499.99, though, the drop is exclusive to paying Totaltech subscribers. Totaltech is Best Buy’s premium membership, one that combines tech support, product protection, and access to the occasional exclusive console restock for $199.99 per year. It’s a pricey service, though if you feel it’s worth your money, it should improve your chances of landing a console.
Make sure you’ve logged into your account ahead of time and with a paying subscription to Totaltech (sorry, no free trials). Double-check that your billing and shipping information is correct as well, and stay persistent. To get in line, make sure to click the “Add to Cart” button, and be prepared for Best Buy to ask you to verify your information. Also, don’t give up if the Series X appears to sell out — Best Buy often releases consoles in waves, so you may have a second chance.
If you don’t manage to score a console today, however, keep your head up. We’re constantly on the lookout for further availability of the latest consoles, so keep checking back.
