Xbox shortage

it's the typical Post Christmas supply chain issues,

I don't think there's going to be a shortage of Xbox Ones.

Most retailers will tell you that they have no clue as it is up to Microsoft on how many Xboxes a store gets and when they get them. So your best bet is to ask them when they get shipments in and call on those days as most places will hold items for people
for a few hours. The Wii was the same way when it came out so just keep checking.

The Xbox Ones are having typical new system bugs. Which is rather frustrating...but not much you can do about it other then wait for a fix or take it back.

Don't be in a rush we can't play them anyway .
