GameStop to have ‘very limited’ Xbox One stock on Black Friday

Those searching for an Xbox One on Black Friday may be out of luck, as the the retailer confirmed today its stores will have "very limited" stock of Microsoft's next-gen item. GameStop is the world's largest video game retailer, so if they don't have it, there's a good chance most of the others won't either.

Having said that, there is a small chance you can hop into your local GameStop retail store and find an Xbox One. Speaking to GameSpot, a representative told the site that shoppers should call their local store first to ask about availability. Hey, even "very limited" means there's a chance!

Xbox One is currently sold out through GameStop's website, as well as on  AmazonBest Buy, and Microsoft Stores. Microsoft's next-gen system released last Friday in 13 markets around the world. More than one million Xbox One consoles were sold in the first day alone. Heading into the holiday season, I think your best bet would be to simply check in person as websites may be slower to update with stock. There's also eBay if you don't mind paying a little extra.

Earlier today, GameStop also announced its lineup of Black Friday deals which includes Battlefield 4 for $25 and Xbox 360 and PS3 bundles for just $199 each.
