Pre-orders for the XBox Series X and S went live today, and they failed spectacularly.

Major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, as well as Microsoft's own website, all malfunctioned with thousands of people rushing to secure their consoles.

All those places quickly all sold out. Even Microsoft "sold out" of pre-orders for their own console.

The one funny thing to see in all this is that physical lines around the block aren't as big of a thing anymore. Guess GameStop really is on its way out.

Here's more dumb gaming stuff and more dumb gaming jokes.
