Still looking for a PlayStation 5 or XBOX Series X? Here’s how to get yours before Christmas

SAINT ANTHONY – Don’t worry, you’re not the only one who can’t find these next-gen gaming consoles on store shelves. But there might still be a way to catch one before Christmas.

The PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series X, launched by Sony and Microsoft respectively, are the most anticipated gaming consoles of the year and sold out almost immediately on launch days and Black Friday.

Both are set to compete with consoles of the past in terms of graphics and playability. If you can find one, that’s good.

So what should a giver or a gamer do?

Do not be afraid. You can use a few tools to help you know when and where these consoles are stored with tools like NowInStock, Popcart, Zoolert, BuyVia, or BrickSeek.

All of these tools allow you to set reminders and alerts when your perfect gift is in stock at area retail stores.

Or, just keep checking with retailers near you over the phone or through their websites to see if they have any in stock.

After the Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday buying events, there’s a good chance these consoles will be back in stock at least once before Christmas Day.
