Finally was able to get one. Had to spend more than just the basic version, but got the bundle from Costco. Comes with "The Show" which i don't care about, but has the expansion memory and additional gamepass.
Got a tip for us?

Congrats. I’ve had it since launch, I got lucky with a Best Buy glitch on the day they accepted preorders. I enjoy the console but want some games that will take advantage of the hardware.
Is it too soon to consider S Series to X Series upgrade.
Once stock returns I could make sell and re order happen.
Only concern is Non hdr 4K t.v. from 20015.

I got a Series S for my son who has my old 720P tv. I think in your situation the X is fine. Plus you get boosted performance on it versus the 8th gen MS systems.
I have to admit that I haven't payed my Series X for three week. It's a great console and I love it. However I am bored playing previous gen games and browsing the deals sections for bargains.
My interest in the console will likely be reignited in the second of the year when Flight Simulator and other native next gen games are available.

If resell values for the S are good then sell it and buy a Series X when you can.
Definitely going S re sell, though value seems negligible.
eBay is innindated with them.
maybe x series is re stocked during 21.

Maybe 4K top titles if and when they arrive.
Though S series is fun and compact and white.
Man, I didn't realize how fast this thing would actually be. I am seeing loading screens in ME:RE for only about 4 seconds max. One my one X it was 20-35 seconds.
It’s an appreciative “feature,” but when you have friends whom you play with online multiplayer, then it’s a hassle lol. Always waiting on them to boot up.
It's an understatement to say that I am excited about Flight Simulator launching on Series X on the 27th July.
I will use it as an opportunity to dip back into gamepass for a month and try a couple of new games 😁
This is the liberating game that people need during a summer of travel restrictions.

Same, this sort of stuff was the reason why I went over to the dark side. I have the game pass, I can't say that I'm using it to its fullest benefit but I am playing games that I don't need to buy so maybe I am ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm debating whether to play this on my PC or Xbox X. I found in years past that a keyboard and mouse were not the ideal way to control an aircraft. I may just download it to both (when it becomes available to the xbox) and compare which one will be better. I suspect the Xbox, simply because I think that will perform better then my RTX 2060 GPU on my PC
Since we only have a Series S I figure I’ll get a better experience on my Radeon.
I’m so ready for this. I don’t think gamers realize that this title was never intended to be on a console [PC only], because the amount of code transfer that it was going to require with the new hardware integration, and the developers were working on making this happen because of the request for gamers over the course of 18 months to bring this project to fruition. Not only that, but it’s actually being released early, as it wasn’t slated until the end of August/September. Seriously, props to Microsoft and their C.D.T team.
I probably won’t preorder this one, as I don’t think it’s necessary, given I don’t think it will be overly popular, because it is very demographic specific.
I'll be loathed to part from S Serious.

Given that the game is available on gamepass, pre ordering makes no sense unless you are convinced that you will 100% love it.
Other than that, it's a breath of fresh air that a proper next gen game is launching ahead of the announced release window of "late summer".
Hopefully they will release a full list of compatible hotas and joysticks soon. I want to pick up a used one on eBay before stock is sold out everywhere.
I will buy a 65 inch OLED TV in July and look forward to jaw dropping night flights.
I really hope they fix the load times cause on PC they are atrocious.
Haha. Welp, guess what? My Xbox officially went out of commission today. It won’t even power on. Like..completely shot. We had a storm the other night, and we had a surge, and I’m guessing that has something to do with it, even though I have a 4,320 Joule surge protector that houses all my electronics including my Samsung QLED. I tested everything else, which everything else works fine, except for the Xbox. FYI, I didn’t even have my Xbox in ‘standby mode’, it was completely powered off, so for this to happen is extremely peculiar.
But...... Microsoft is sending me a new one, as long as I send the defective one back to them, and they can assess that there’s no physical damage [I.e.- Water/or dropped..]
*********************
Edit:
However, they’re telling me that it could be over three weeks before I would actually receive the new unit, which I suspect it will be August at the earliest. And of course..., we actually have XBox Series X in stock in my area right now, where I could buy one, but I don’t want to be ‘that guy’ and just return it when I get my new one. So I’ll just wait it out.

I thought load times were restricted on xps ,seems from your comments it's general restriction regardless of hardware.
I am not sure why it takes so long to load stuff in MSFS. It makes experimenting frustrating though.
I'm really happy with my X. I think its a great upgrade, but if you already own the S, I can see why you may be hesitant.
