I read that larger stores are online only, smaller stores are in person. Would assume walmart was online only.

How to buy an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S on November 10th | Engadget

this says walmart will start selling them online at noon today.

but if my small town walmart has 5 i'm not sure they will sell out.  Not a town where very many people just up and blow $500

If it's online, people from outside your town will buy and drive in. I bet it sells out within the first 15 minutes

I picked up another controller at best buy this morning. Think I saw 4 people pick up series x and a few more try to walk in and order. No one had series s.

Also, jeez Series X is tiny. I don't know if it's just because I'm used to larger systems as of late, but the display at best buy made it look cute.

nnodley

and they gone on walmart.

didn't need it anyway. lol

I'm assuming standing up?  

I think it's pretty clear MS went to an extent to try making it look smaller than it is.  Like the split board.  

I think it will look chunky next to another console on its side, but I'm sure standing up by itself, it won't look too big.
