People who preordered their PS5 or Xbox Series X/S through Best Buy will have the chance to schedule an appoint to pick up their new consoles.
The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S were quick to sell out at retailers when they went live for preorders in September, and Best Buy was no exception. Fans who made their purchase through Best Buy now have the opportunity to book an appointment to pick up their console to avoid the long lines on launch day. The company alerted people who preordered the consoles by sending out emails to remind them to schedule appointments. The appointments are not mandatory however, and players can still pick up new console by walking in or through curb0side pick up on launch day.
If a fan chooses to book an appointment, they will potentially be able to get the consoles for themselves before the official launch day. For the PS5, fans are able to pick up their new system as early as November 10, two days before the console’s official launch day. Best Buy has sent out similar emails for those who preordered the PS5, with the same appointment windows on November 10. So while people who preordered the PS5 will get to pick up their console before launch, Xbox fans who book an appointment will pick up their console on launch day.
Those who book an appoint will have to choose a half-hour time slot between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. local time to make the pickup. If someone arrives before or after the scheduled time, they may have to wait longer than normal to get their new console. According to the emails, all that is necessary to successfully pick the order up is a valid ID and the order confirmation for the purchase. Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, consumers will be required to wear face coverings when picking up their new console. Best Buy leaked the prices for both of the consoles back in August.
For those who did not get to preorder a new console because stock ran out, a recent Best Buy ad for the store’s Black Friday specials suggests that there will be more Xbox Series X/S and PS5’s available to order through November 22. Best Buy is also offering sales on several Xbox and PlayStation titles for Black Friday for fans who might want to stock up on new games for the holidays.
It remains unlikely that any retailer will get new PS5 and Xbox Series X/S preorders before launch, but rumors continue to circulate that some retailers might have some new consoles available on the day of launch.
The PS5 launches on November 12 and Xbox Series X/S launches on November 10.
