If you’re one of the many people still trying to get their hands on a PS5 or Xbox Series X, you might have a chance soon at Amazon.

(Xbox Series S is actually in stock now, in both the standard edition and the Fortnite & Rocket League bundle.)
If you don’t have a Prime membership, you can sign up for one here. New members get a 30-day free trial, which is long enough to get you priority access to any PS5 and Xbox Series X drops through the end of the year.
