I don't understand why more places don't let you 'pre-order'. Like just let me order on Amazon and then send it when they get them in stock. It was such a relief for me that MS said exactly when pre-orders went up for Series X because I couldn't deal with that constant checking. Last time I had to do that was for the special edition of Fire Emblem Fates as those things sold out so fast and was the only way to get the 3rd campaign on a cart. I had all sorts of trackers set up and the bugger finally went up as I was sat in a hotel in Berlin, with a phone that could only get wifi instead of actual phone signal. Email came through just as my taxi to the office turned up. Utter panic
I want to get the rumoured Switch revision but the thought of spending months trying to catch sites that have stock for about 2 minutes at a time fills me with dread.
