Xbox One and PS4 Preorder Availability from Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, and Walmart; Where to Buy Standalone Consoles & Bundles

The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 now have prices, and several video game distributors have begun offering preorders for the next-gen consoles. The Xbox One is set to launch in November for $499, while The PlayStation 4 does not have a set release date yet, but will retail for $399 at launch.

Amazon.com is offering both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for no money down initially. However, it looks as though the Xbox One is no longer available at the moment. Perhaps more will become available as we get closer to the launch time of the console. Gamestop is also offering preorders for both consoles. The Xbox One has several exclusive bundles available for preorder, including an EA Sports bundle which includes Madden 25, NBA Live, and FIFA 14 along with the system. PlayStation 4 fans can also preorder these titles, along with exclusives titles like Killzone: Shadow Fall. People who preorder both consoles at their local Gamestop store will have to put $100 down, but then that money will be deducted from the overall price of the consoles. In addition, gamers should eb able to keep putting money down on their consoles to further reduce the price of the console they want until they become available for launch. Best Buy has the two consoles available as well, though no details on what bundles they will offer with the consoles. In addition, the Xbox One is being offered directly through Microsoft through their online store.

Best Buy is now offering pre-orders for the PS4 and Xbox One at a limit of one console per customer. Walmart is offering the standalone Xbox One for retail price and a bundle including a 12-month Xbox Live Gold Card at $617.96. Walmart currently has no bundles available for the PS4, but is offering the console by itself for retail price as well. 

With many interesting games available at launch for both consoles, gamers have a lot of options for what they want to do if they preorder the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. E3 has certainly whipped up gamers enthusiasm for the consoles, and both will be released with much fanfare and hoopla come the holiday season.
