My guess, way more people ordered X's so gonna take a while to work through orders.... sometimes it helps being the small guy.

In other news....
Both consoles are using off the shelf Western Digital M.2 2230 NVMe SSD's
Once someone figure out how to transfer OS, we will be able to upgrade size/speed of our drives... My bet is someone would have it done before the 11th...
Edit: Oh boy wait till Sony fans get a hold of this.... its a 530 ie: Gen3 not Gen4
So 4 lanes at 1gig/s not 2 lanes at 2 gig/s (So still the claimed 4gb/s)

Could it be a demo model console?

Well all the tear downs so normal M.2 SSD. Could be that some fitted with Gen3 and others with Gen4. But seeing that they measured 4 gb/s on all the reviews it means we got loads of space for improvement. Imagine popping in something like a Samsung 980 into that slot. It will make em Sony fans cry. As we can upgrade over time as Spec become cheaper. its not soldered onto the board.
I am in Durban I guess it gets shipped from JHB

Same! I got an sms now that it will be delivered before 12pm tomorrow. Yay! I think Takealot is working hard to fix this.
I'm in Roodepoort.
Remember if anyone want to add me as friend, my gamertag is Solitude. Maybe send a message too. I get quite a few followers for no reason.

Yeah man.
Not paying the equivalent of $220 plus tax and import duties and local retailers' markup to up the storage on my Series X.

^ Love this
Also just Xbox Adaptive controller being a thing makes me think Microsoft cares more about gaming than Sony.
Think they do, I mean they want as many people as possible to enjoy playing games.

Also on a side note, this is my first xbox. So I will need some friends to play games with. Any way I can create an account in the meantime? Also, any way ( also in the meantime) that I can add a bunch of Live subs to convert to gamepass unlimited?

If you have gamepass just install Xbox app on PC and take it from there...
Pretty sure you can do it on the Xbox.com site as well?
