I was able to get both, but they were in both cases special circumstances that most people didn't have access to. I bought the Series X first, and to secure my spot I went out to the local Gamestop at like 5 in the morning to secure my pre-order spot. The store manager Very Nicely Suggested that we pre-order stuff we had no interest in buying, simply because corporate was leaning on them very hard. I pre-order a few things but only ended up getting the console and the warrenty. As for the PS5, I actually secured an Amazon pre-order the day they went up, but I had no real desire to get the console at the time. Mostly I got it so I could pass it off to a friend. A few months later, I forget exactly when, Gamestop listed some bundles, and there was one that was not too terrible and had stuff I was most likely going to get anyway, namely the console, a spare controller, Demon's Souls, and Spider-Man Ultimate. Jumped on that, although I'm probably about to sell that spare controller.
