Update: That's a wrap – stocks are sold out around the web for Xbox Series X pre-orders in the UK for now. We're constantly checking the web to see if we can spot any Xbox pre-order deals still available, so stay tuned.
Xbox Series X pre-orders were expected to sell out fast in the UK. In the end, it took around an hour and half before the initial shipment of consoles was snapped up by eager consumers. The same thing happened in Australia this morning, where some retailers sold out almost instantly.
We're continually scanning the UK's retailers for the best way to secure your Xbox Series X pre-order (or Xbox Series S pre-order, for that matter, which are still in stock as of writing). We'll continue to tell you who we think you should go to first to pre-order your new Xbox; and we'll record who's running out of stock, live, here on this page. That way you can increase your chance of grabbing of a console and successfully pre-order your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S console today.

Xbox Series X (sold out) / Xbox Series S: £249 / £449 at Amazon
The Xbox Series X has already sold out on Amazon, however, the Xbox Series S is still available to pre-order – for now.

Xbox Series X / Xbox Series S: £249 / £449 at John Lewis
John Lewis might not be your first thought for Xbox pre-orders, but it offers a free two-year warranty on its electronics, and we’re expecting this to include the next-gen Xbox as well. No other retailers can match that right now, so it’s definitely worth considering. Its page STILL isn’t live, but their Barbour collection has been updated so, you know, swings and roundabouts.

Xbox Series X (sold out) / Xbox Series S: £249 / £449 at Game
Game is well known for its video game deals, and a good bet for pre-ordering your Xbox Series X. The retailer hasn’t had an easy time recently, but it’s likely to have a decent supply given its laser focus on games-related products. Unfortunately Game’s website has crashed due to demand. View Deal
