Who else is salty about the series x Halo Infinite Limited Edition scalpers? Just wondering if I’m the only one bent about this.
yeppers
makes me channel my inner mao zedong
It’s not only the scalpers I’m pissed at its the money hungry stores that decided to sell only online letting scalpers use their bots to purchase even more than they did from Microsoft.

Amazing how everything you said here is 100% wrong they were sold in stores too!!!
I’ve spent the last 8 days checking online at 8am, 10am, 12pm, 5pm 6pm 10pm and 12am to purchase an Xbox SX then the Halo edition with no luck on either front.I managed to get a halo edition into my Microsoft cart and even got passed the payment stage only to be told I all of a sudden had too many xboxs in my cart (I only had one) it happened again when they had a xbox sx restock only this time when I attempted to put it in my cart it said Id reached the allowance amount- I asked Microsoft how or why this happened to me when scalpers have been able to use bots to bypass this problem and they basically said tough -Yoink-!! This has been a totally unfair experience for most box lovers who just want to buy 1 frigging Xbox for themselves.
I think we all are. I had to leave my friends the other day because one of them was talking about how he scalped some 3090s and was selling them for over a grand over sticker price. I could feel my blood boiling everytime he talked about a poor sucker he was scamming.
I got my Xbox and controller. Not a scalper. And I definitely did not buy them within the first 0.004583 seconds people claim they sold out in.

Gamestop had them Best buy did too and that was just the US in the UK Game had them. I secured both from the Microsoft store like an hour after release. If you had gone onto the Uk store you could of bought one easily.
I wasn’t until Amazon UK cancelled my preorders to the States, because apparently GameStop has a exclusivity deal or some nonsense.
The fact that they’re able to buy so many of them is the problem. I heard from a friend of a friend someone who was able to purchase FIVE of them from one store online, which is without a doubt a scalper. I wish Microsoft would take more action to prevent scalping and similar things but I guess if they’re making sales, they don’t have a problem with it.

I held off buying an xbox x from the start because I knew we’d be getting a special edition halo one, never managed to get a halo console before because of money so I was excited but as expected scalpers screwed me. So i decided -Yoink- it and bought a halo collectors edition of the original xbox and that I’ll be only playing infinite on my pc.
Hey man, scalpers be scalpin’

Same. I’m in NZ and woke up to the news long after the announcement, and was still able to secure a copy here. Though there is only like 5-6 million people, so I guess I had good odds.
They had sold out by the following day though.
I still can’t find a basic series x let alone the infinite addition. It’s weird how Microsoft makes it difficult to throw money at them. Make more Bill!
I’m a PC gamer. So I’m even more salty…

I don’t think that I would be able to associate with some one like that. You definitely have the cool of a zen god. I might have lost my marbles.

I went to ebay and most of the scalpers are in Italy and Australia. It says on the profile that they only have one left, however once it is sold there is another one on the same profile. This has to be some sort of dark magic.

There should have been a limit put in place. Like when covid hit and all the toilet paper was gone. One per household. Non of this “I have one and so does each of my 17 kids”, (baby crawls up with TP strapped to it’s back).
