Now its release date is less than 24 hours away, and Xbox has confirmed that those who didn’t place their order before the limited edition console was completely sold out will have a second chance to buy one tonight. The Xbox Series X25 Midnight Restock Xbox Xbox confirmed on Twitter that a “limited number” of X25 consoles and matching controllers will be available on November 12 through the Microsoft Store and other third-party retailers. It didn’t mention which retailers, but it's worth keeping an eye on the usual suspects - Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop - if you arrive at the Microsoft Store tonight and get placed in a queue, or make it through and find the restocked console has already sold out for a second time. The restock will happen at midnight EST in the US, so as soon as November 11 becomes November 12, which means staying up for those of you who really want one of these consoles. This will, almost certainly, be the last chance you have to buy one, barring resorting to resale sites. I’d really not recommend taking that route, both because it rewards scalpers and because after X25 pre-orders sold out in August, scalpers were listing the consoles for almost $3,500. Xbox does imply that the restock won’t necessarily be exclusive to the US, although all that note adds is that the console’s availability will vary by region and retailer. There will likely be a lot of people in the UK hoping to bag one tonight, if they can, after high street retailer Argos canceled pre-orders long after the consoles had already sold out everywhere else. A $900 Version Of A Six-Year-Old Console Xbox Even though the X25 getting one last restock is good news, it’s still hard to believe so many people are willing to pay its MSRP that it has become one of the most highly sought-after consoles in recent memory. The translucent green X25 costs $899.99. That’s $400 more than a standard Series X cost when the console launched six years ago. To try and sweeten the deal, Xbox threw in a free copy of Halo: Campaign Evolved with X25 pre-orders. That deal will still apply with the restocked consoles, as all X25s will come with a matching controller and the Halo remake.
