The special edition Xbox Series X X25 is due to hit pre-order shelves today, and while we're still waiting for stores to open the floodgates empty listing pages are floating through the web.
The translucent green device will shortly be up for grabs at a number of US and UK retailers, but at the moment Amazon is well and truly primed for launch. Usually one of the last retailers to jump on a pre-order bandwagon, I'm seeing a full listing ready and waiting for some numbers and pre-order buttons. Meanwhile, Best Buy should be your first port of call when pre-orders on that special edition controller drop.
The Xbox Series X 25th Anniversary console is due to launch at a whopping $899.99 / £759.99 (with a copy of Halo: Campaign Evolved thrown in), its gamepad sidekick comes in at $79.99. Stick tight for now, we're still waiting for stock to hit the shelves, but you'll find all the latest updates just below as soon as it does.

Live updates
Still 'Coming Soon' at Best Buy
Best Buy would probably be my first bet for the controller side of things. The $79.99 gamepad is likely going to be a little more popular than the $900 console, so things are going to get a little tighter here overall.
With its listing page live and ready, and a history of being among the first to high profile pre-order stock, I'd keep this one locked in.
Currys is live with Xbox Series X25 controller pre-orders
That special edition controller has just set down at Currys as well. The gamepad is now up for pre-order at £74.99 in the UK, with free release day delivery. Just note this one can't be picked up from the store.
Microsoft is strangely quiet
Microsoft did hand out early invites for its Xbox Series X25 pre-orders yesterday, but surely it kept some back for the rest of us? Right?
Well it doesn't look like it at the moment. The brand's own site is listed as 'out of stock' in the US, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of the special edition on the UK's side either.
Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop have listing pages live
They're all the retailers we know are definitely going to get Xbox Series X25 stock when it lands, but Walmart should really be in there as well. It's listed on Microsoft's site as a retail partner and has a dedicated URL for the limited edition console, but right now that just takes us to a dead end.
Amazon UK getting us started
The Xbox Wireless Controller has just dropped into Amazon's shelves in the UK, with the £74.99 gamepad now available to pre-order ahead of the October 20 release date. That's with free release day delivery to boot.

And retailer watch begins
I'm zipping through the airwaves gathering all the retailers that look like they'll be offering Xbox Series X 25th Edition pre-orders today, so sit tight and we'll get this show on the road.
