Update: Best Buy has sold out of the console. However, GameStop has confirmed restocking on December 23. Also, see Xbox Series X restocking information for this month's restocking of the Xbox Series X.

Xbox Series X Restocking at Best Buy! Currently, Best Buy is selling the Xbox Series X for $499.99. To secure the console, you will need to form a virtual queue.

This is the first restock of the Xbox Series X that Best Buy has seen this week. Xbox Series X consoles have been hard to come by this month. Amazon may also restock before the end of the month for Prime members only.

As with most retailers, pre-setting up a Best Buy account is a top priority. Ensuring that your payment details, address, and other information is pre-stored will save you valuable time at checkout.

It should also be noted that Best Buy does not currently offer delivery of Xbox consoles. The order process is done online, but you must choose to pick up your console in-store. Therefore, if there is no Best Buy near you or you are unable to visit your local store, Best Buy may not be your Xbox retailer.

When restocking takes place, refresh the product page until you see either a yellow "Add to Cart" button or a gray "Please Wait" button. If the latter appears, do not refresh and wait for the button to change to a yellow "Add to Cart" button.

Once you are able to add the item to your cart, you may see a message that the Xbox Series X is no longer in stock. If so, you will need to change to a location where it is in stock. Open a new page and repeat the process above until the "Add to Cart" button reappears.

Best Buy, like other retailers, releases Xbox Series X inventory on a rolling basis, so even if the Xbox Series X is marked as sold out on their site when it is restocked, you may have another chance to get your Xbox. Investing time in this process may pay off, as others may give up and lose patience.

Retailers will also ask for the code provided during the purchase process. Always opt for text, as it is sent almost instantly; with email, the code may take longer to arrive or get caught in spam filters.
