So, this may not even work, but I was just at xbox.com and it shows the Series S available to pre-order with the All Access plan. Maybe try that if you still want one?
Thanks! So it does look like some stores were allowing pre-orders with the All Access. A couple places I went to only said the Nov Release date for that plan, so I didn't look much harder. I was so confused with that plan, I didn't understand what I was doing.
When I go Xbox.com and click on Pre-order for the Series X, it takes me to the splash screen I was going to earlier with all the different retailers to go through.
When I click pre-order for the Series S, it's just sold out on their site.
Thanks for checking that for me though! I think I understand better what we should have done today. We'll get it later.
It really is okay though. We don't need it right now. Just this week he's pre-ordered the Quest 2, bought a new ($500) router for it, a ($200) extender for the router, plus today received the pre-order for the new 12" Samsung tablet, 2 cases, the Samsung Live earbud things, and a new $100 mobile controller to use with the tablet.
He's okay, don't feel sorry for him.

He can wait for the Xbox! (And given the choice he'd choose Quest over the Xbox.)
But, I am going to order me some new Thirty-One bags so I don't feel left out!!
