May the odds be ever in your favour
Update 29/11/2021 10:27am ET: Several readers have reached out to MobileSyrup indicating they’ve received messages that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are now sold out. In my case, I wasn’t even able to access GameStop’s website.
Update 29/11/2021 9:59pm ET: Right on cue, GameStop Canada’s website is currently down ahead of the restock.
In what will likely go down as one of the last significant drops for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X before the holiday season officially begins, EB Games GameStop has confirmed that it will restock both consoles online at 10am ET/7am PT on November 29th.
As always, if you’re trying to get your hands on Sony’s or Microsoft’s respective current-generation system, you’ll need to move fast. In the past, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X have sold out in a matter of minutes.

Further, this is one of the first times that GameStop plans to restock the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 online at the same time, which seems like a questionable decision given the retailer’s website has been unable to handle console restocks in the past.
It’s important to note that the PlayStation 5 bundle includes a gamepad charger and an extra DualSense controller. There’s also another bundle that features two DualSense gamepads and a $30 off Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart. On the Xbox Series X side, the bundle includes an extra controller and Forza Horizon 5.
It’s unclear how much these bundles will cost, but the standard disc version of the PlayStation 5 costs $629 and the Xbox Series X starts at $599. This story will be updated with direct links to purchase these bundles when they’re available.
