If you happen to obtain considered one of these invitations, you’ll have 72 hours to make the acquisition on Amazon’s web site from the distinctive hyperlink within the e-mail. Talking from firsthand expertise of the Xbox invite I obtained as we speak, Amazon’s emails look a little bit generic — they’re merely from “Amazon.com,” and the topic line reads simply “Congrats, you’re invited!” Which, frankly, seems a little bit spammy at first look. So make certain you don’t by accident delete it on impulse like I almost did.
These invitations are a welcome departure from Amazon’s observe document of sloppy restocks, the place the consoles normally promote out rapidly amid myriad checkout errors. You’d suppose the e-commerce large may work out a queue system for dwell restocks of high-demand objects, however at the very least it is a helpful substitute.
If you happen to didn’t already request an invitation, the pages for the usual $499.99 PlayStation 5, the $549.99 PS5 bundle with Horizon Forbidden West, and the $499 Xbox Series X all have buttons to request an invitation on Amazon now. You don’t should be a Prime subscriber, and you may see if you happen to get fortunate in considered one of Amazon’s upcoming invite waves.
