What’s Next for Potential Buyers?

For those who pre-ordered the Xbox Ally X from Amazon France, it might be worthwhile to show a little patience and monitor your orders as they may arrive sooner than expected. Others can hold out hope that their retailers follow suit or simply wait the remaining two weeks until the official release.

If you haven’t yet managed to secure one, and have the budget to invest either $599 or $999, consider checking local retailers for availability. Demand is likely to be high, particularly with the buzz surrounding these portable gaming devices.
