Xbox One pre-orders placed beyond August 15 not guaranteed for launch

4.5
Amazon UK has sold out its allocation of Xbox One’s Day One Edition. It has now warned customers that orders that were placed for the Standard Edition after August 15 “will be received after release date.”

An update on the Amazon UK site states: “Please note – due to high demand, we are now out of stock of the Day One Edition Xbox One console and will not be taking further orders.” Orders for the Standard Edition are still being accepted, but these are not guaranteed to be available on launch day.

As things stand, GAME still appears to have Day One Editions available.

So, if you want one on launch day, it might be time to hurry.

slapshot101 I wonder if Amazon US has sold out of their Day One editions. It really doesn't matter if you don't pre-order the One because you can just as easily buy it in so many stores on the day it comes out.


Probably not, I remember when the Wii came out and everybody went crazy for it. I wanted to buy one and I looked at every shop for 4 months straight, as soon as they got their next batch in, they werfe sold out within an hour!

Beliefs That is kind of ridiculous.


Well not really, a lot of people want a console and there is limited supply.

CHP shoot, should have got it when i had a chance, oh well, maybe i will get lucky


You will probably find it somewhere anyway, its not too big of a deal.

Euiginy They should have known that they would get tons of orders


I'm pretty sure they would of known about the large amount of orders before hand. Supply simply couldn't meet demand
