Back in June, Amazon began offering invite requests<\/a> for an opportunity to buy the hard-to-get PlayStation 5<\/a> and Xbox Series X<\/a> consoles \u2014 allowing anyone to try their luck without the stress of a live restock and all the F5 spamming. Now, nearly two months later, Amazon has confirmed<\/a> via its Amazon Games Twitter account that invites are finally going out for both consoles. These invites will be sent in waves, with another round expected to go out next week.<\/p>\n

If you receive one of these invites, you will have 72 hours to make the purchase on Amazon\u2019s site from the unique link in the email. Speaking from firsthand experience of the Xbox invite I received today, Amazon\u2019s emails look a little generic \u2014 they\u2019re simply from \u201cAmazon.com,\u201d and the subject line reads just \u201cCongrats, you\u2019re invited!\u201d Which, frankly, looks a little spammy at first glance. So be sure you don\u2019t accidentally delete it on impulse like I nearly did.<\/p>\n
