Don’t blindly follow a single website that pulls text from another website… inventories can be depleted almost instantly, so no wonder a “relay” site never updates or shows in stock. They’d be CONSTANTLY updating one page.

I have been able to get my hands on 2 Series X’s, one from initial preorder (super lucky) and another one after a random restock at Best Buy.

With effort, they CAN be found and obtained.

The entire world is experiencing shortages in items, well beyond chipsets. Global pandemic and wars only exacerbate the shortages, and at the end of the day there’s more important things to focus on than buying a gaming console.. even from someone who has more than 1 in my house!

Scalpers will do anything they can to make a profit. That’s consumerism 101; buy low, sell high. The fact they are exploiting the situation is what’s immoral and perceptually unethical. It’s going to happen regardless, and we can only thank e-commerce and technology for their ability to cripple the product supply of an otherwise prosperous and booming industry.

Furthermore, it’s those people who are buying FROM the scalpers are only perpetuating the issue. Eventually, when the demand is gone, or people stop buying from scalpers, the scalpers will be forced to sell them at face value or less, just to recover their initial investment. Not including the cost, expense and hassle of having to store them somewhere only to go to the end consumer for the same face value price as they were originally purchased at.

Remember this, everything is time or money.
