I’m here to help with the Xbox and also PS5 restock dates.

🆕 Xbox Series X All-Access is available, but…

• 🌟 Walmart: Xbox Series X All Access plan for $34.99/month for 24 months (includes Xbox Game Pass Ultimate which, a $15 a month value)

If you’re willing to pay $34.99 a month for it AND Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you can buy the Xbox Series X today. And I highly recommend Game Pass for Xbox owners – it’s Microsoft’s “Netflix of Gaming” and includes Xbox Live Gold for online multiplayer.

Walmart, for example, has the Xbox Series X through the All Access plan. There are things to know before going for this “no money down” option: you have to go through a credit check, as it’s akin to signing up for a smartphone plan (some people get denied for no reason) and you’ll have to pay off the console and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription over the course of 24 months).

It doesn’t cost any extra – and will actually save you some money compared to buying them separately. It’ll end up being $839 vs $859 if you bought them outright.

⛔ Not trusted Halo Xbox restock stores

• 🐦 Twitter: never buy from Twitter resellers. They are ALL scams

• 🤓 Silicon Nerd: I’ve helped 100,000. Never seen anyone get it here

• 😒 Shady online storefronts: many seem like they went up overnight

• 🤨 Clones of me: Me and celebrities are being impersonated. I’ll never sell you any console

Xbox Series X shouldn’t be harder to buy than the PS5, so I’m tracking the console, as I believed that retailers are holding stock to coincide with early Black Friday deals. The Halo Infinite Xbox Series X restock, however, has been impossible to get since the limited-edition console launched on November 15.

Your next chance to buy an Xbox Series X is likely going to be from Best Buy, but there are two things you’ll need to know beforehand…
