Extremely disappointed beyond measurement

This has to be one of the absolute worst days of my (Halo related) life. I’ve been an extremely loyal, longtime Halo fan since virtually the beginning back when I was in elementary school. I understand there’s a console shortage to begin with, but I attempted several times via Microsoft’s Store, Target, and Walmart to have a chance to pre-order the XSX Limited Edition console bundle. All attempts were met with failure because it kept saying “out of stock” on all 3 vendors.

I am very much beside myself, quite inconsolable. I know some people will say “it’s just a video game” but after spending thousands of dollars of my hard-earned money on this franchise for nearly 2 full decades, I cannot wrap my ahead around such a terrible blunder. This isn’t necessarily 343’s fault, but rather Microsoft. I honestly hope I can still pre-order the console sometime before launch. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. I know that’s a meme but it’s sincerely how I feel. This day blows.

I knew the moment I layed eyes on it that I wasn’t gonna be able to get one

scalper bots man, its not just here, its everything now days. consoles, gpus anything , hell even shoes. its getting insane to get anything collector edition anymore.
