Mine won't be here till the 4th. Gives me time to pool my Christmas money so my fiancee doesn't kill me.

I'm sure it'll just go back to the hub without a signature. Pretty sure the delivery driver was just going to sign for it and leave my Switch yesterday...m.

If it arrives before noon I can have the neighbor at least grab it off the porch. Signing, not sure how I can tell walmart to bang on the neighbor's door instead. Will just have to wait and see what happens.

Now I need to see which of my kidneys goes on the black market to pay for it.

They must have had pretty good stock. I got one too: Dec 31 arrival.

Hopefully they didn't overpromise.

The FedEx delivery time frame was close. Said by 915 I think I had it before 10

Assuming they all get shipped. I feel like the process was pretty painless. Better than adding it to your cart and having to rush to check out

I now have an excuse to get a new AV receiver that does 4K120 and a TV as well, LOL. My 2019 QLED only does 4K60 (HDMI 2.0b).

Both of my TVs are only 4k60 as well. It should still be better than what I get out of my one S

Hmm, I'm running a One X right now.

 

[Mook]

Not a ton of games are using 120. Dont rush to buy anything...2.1 is buggy as well anyway. Or was. Probably still is.

I'll be focusing on FH5, so maybe i can afford a Yugo by then while IDAFC21 is buying and selling Ferrari's like there's no tomorrow.

Might do that new Halo thing since y'all are giving it good reviews. I've never played it before, so will be all fresh.

 

[ldyzluvdis06]

Has it listed for $890! Local guy sells them for 780 when he gets them in stock.

 

[Fish]

I have a series X and a disk edition PS5 willing to trade both for a four post lift if anyone is interested LOL

My 4 plastic ramps identify as a 4 post lift. Where can we meet?

That ship has sailed, the 488 market tanked. I'm gonna need to find a new cash cow. Gonna have to see whats trending.

Congrats on your purchase tho

You got me lol

If anyone is looking for a series X DM me. I’ll work something out

I have mine hooked up to one of the new LG TVs that supports HDMI 2.1 4k120 with freesync and for the games that support it, its quite the amazing experience. Like COD Cold war/Zombies. It looks and feels as good as my maxed out PC playing on that LG TV with the series X. I say go for it if you have the means.

I have been wanting that PC feel/high refreshrate for years from a living room console. I finally have it.

And dont forget there are games that allow you to boost the FPS within the xbox menu.

Walmart originally said by Jan 4th. I just got shipping notification it will be here Monday!

 

[Bru]

That’s promising. Mine still says Dec 31.

 

[wombat]

Mine was originally 12/31 now it says shipped and to be delivered 23rd. Sadly, I snagged 3 of them from walmart that day but they cancelled the 2 other orders because "quantity limits," dicks.

So the Series X I bought was actually for my dad, who has been a flight-sim nut since the 1980s and doesn't have a way to play the latest version, but I decided I want one for myself So I'm back on the inventory trackers and stock alerts. Hoping there's some action this week. Amazon said they'll prioritize Prime members through Dec 31, but Amazon also seems the most susceptible to bot buyers.

I'll keep posting up here when I get alerts.

They tried delivering today but I wasn't home. They won't allow me to request that they hold it for pickup. It will successfully be delivered tomorrow though.

Eight days in, no change to my order status. Still shows order placed, and that's it. So far I'm okay wit this since I'm still out of town.

 

[GTvert90]

They're supposed to attempt redelivery today. I have my fiancee waiting. She said FedEx pulled up. The guy walked to the back of the truck then he got back in the truck backed into our driveway and left. So I hope he returns lol

 

[GTvert90]

So Walmart restricts the package so it has to be delivered to your house. You cannot request to hold it for pickup. FedEx messed up and didn't put the package on the truck today so he pulled up at my house. Looked in the back and then drove away. He will now retry tomorrow so I have a very irritated fiancee the waited around today. I called and asked what happens when we're not there tomorrow. They said they will retry delivery three times and then hold it for pickup. So why can't we just skip all these fucking steps and let me hold it for pickup?.

So frustrating

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Did they say if someone HAD to sign for it?

that’s my concern. They’ll try to deliver when I’m 500+ miles away.

Yes it needs to be signed for. I wouldn't worry about it. They'll try to deliver three times and then you can go pick it up when you get back. They also won't allow you to request a vacation hold on it.
