Other Retailers
According to Tom's Guide, Amazon has also dropped stocks today. Unfortunately, the consoles are sold out once again.
The servers struggled with the demand because so many customers were trying to purchase the console at once, but some were able to go through the whole process.
There was also a drop through the Amazon Treasure Truck. Although it is sold out now, you can still sign up for Treasure Truck to get alerts in case there are any future drops near you.
