While GameStop's Xbox Series X restock strategy has relied on incredibly expensive bundles over the last couple of weeks, in-store locations will hold new offers for Microsoft fans today. A tweet from the retailer yesterday stated that 'select stores' will offer more bundle offers in-person, though there's no news yet on whether this bounty of consoles will also reach online shelves.

Previous Xbox Series X restocks at GameStop had bundle prices soaring over $600, though yesterday offered up more stock in a second wave. If your local GameStop isn't taking part in today's drop, though, we'd recommend keeping a close eye on Best Buy.
This retailer offered up its first Xbox Series X restock of 2022 last week, with the console by itself sitting on the shelves for around thirty minutes but stock was largely dependent on your local store's inventory. While smaller brands like Antonline and Costco have been regularly dropping new units, Best Buy seems to be saving itself for larger nationwide drops and another could be on the horizon soon.
Of course, if you're tired of the chase, it's worth noting that there is an easy way out. Walmart, while unlikely to drop new stock outright this week, offers the All Access program. For $34.99 a month over the course of 24 months, you can pick up an Xbox Series X console today - and enjoy Game Pass Ultimate all the way through your repayment period. That's technically one of the best Xbox Series X deals available right now. You will need to open up a new line of credit with Walmart, however.
