In order to see if you are eligible for the chance to reserve an Xbox Series X or Series S through the new Console Purchase Driver program, answer the following three questions:
-
Do you own an Xbox One?
-
Are you an Xbox Insider?
-
Are you feeling lucky?
If you answered yes to all three, then you agree. However, that doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed a reservation for an Xbox Series X or Series S – but you will be able to sign up for the opportunity to order one.
The program appears to be an attempt to tackle the resale market for next-gen consoles, which was buzzing in the middle shortage of crisps driven by the global COVID-19 pandemic. This slowed the rollout of Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and S Series and Sony’s PlayStation 5, all of which have made their debuts. about six months ago.
The Console Purchase Pilot Program is only available to US Xbox Insider customers on Xbox One and cannot be used on legacy consoles, PCs, or mobile devices. Xbox directs interested gamers to the Xbox Insider Hub on Xbox One for registration details (reservation not guaranteed).
