The Xbox Series is surprisingly available right now at Best Buy, but not for all customers. According to the latest report, Microsoft's next-gen console is only restricted to those who are subscribed to TotalTech.
Best Buy TotalTech Members Can Now Buy Xbox Series X
Best Buy is currently offering Xbox Series X for TotalTech subscribers only.
The global chip shortage is still hitting many tech firms, which makes it even harder for them to hoard processors. One of the industries that are affected by such a problem is the gaming industry.
Notably, console companies have been impacted by this. As such, it even gets more difficult to obtain a gaming machine at the moment. For those who are looking for an Xbox Series X, there's good news for you.
According to a report by The Verge on Friday, Apr. 15, snagging a next-gen Xbox console is sometimes easier compared to obtaining Sony's PS5. There's no secret formula for why this is happening, but we could assume that PlayStation5 has a higher demand than Microsoft's product.
Currently, Best Buy is one of the latest US retailers that is offering Xbox Series X to users. However, there's a huge restriction for this offer: only Totaltech subscribers can purchase it.
Apart from the $499.99 price of the console, you first need to subscribe to Totaltech for an annual fee of $199.99.
This small subscription cost could hurt some customers, but Best Buy could be looking forward to what it can offer in its regard.
Having a Totaltech subscription can help you get the most out of it starting from receiving tech support up to having much-needed product protection.
Although there's no 100% guarantee that you can score a console even though you are subscribed to Totaltech, it will still give you a nice headstart for a bigger chance to get one.

In a similar report from The Verge, you can obtain this console by being ahead of time. Make sure to log in earlier so you have the upper hand in the front line.
Upon tapping "Add to Cart," you will be asked to undergo account verification. Another tip that we like to add is to look for the nearby restock locations that might be available in your area.
