The next generation of consoles is close enough now that Sony and Microsoft have opened pre-orders for the PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
As expected, securing a pre-order at any retailer right now is proving difficult, with demand being pushed to its breaking point more than usual thanks to the logistical concerns associated with Covid-19 across the globe.
But it’s not impossible, and there’s still a chance to secure a console for yourself right now. This article will take you to all of the retailers currently offering pre-orders for Microsoft’s duo of next-gen consoles.
Sadly, you won’t find any juicy discounts or bundles right now with pre-orders having only opened earlier today, and the company wishes to remain conservative with what it can realistically provide consumers ahead of launch.

Right now, the majority of retailers ask you to register interest to be notified when pre-orders will once again be available.
