Microsoft priced the Series X console at $499 and the Series S console at $299. The marketing lead of Xbox UK recently tweeted that the pre-orders start on the 22nd of this month at 8 AM (UK time zone).
In the UK, the pre-order will be going live across the following retail platforms: Microsoft Store, Amazon, GAME, Argos, Currys PC World, Smyths Toys, John Lewis & Partners, AO.com, and Very.co.uk.
PlayStation, on the other hand, has already started their pre-order system, although it will work on an invitation basis. The pre-order will be available first to the existing PlayStation users, who will receive an invitation from the PS family.
However, after receiving the invitation mail, it will work on a first come first serve basis. So, the ones with the invitation will have to follow the steps fast in order to be a part of the pre-order.

The Series S console will be an affordable option to not miss out on the next-gen of gaming. However, the console will understandably not be more powerful than the Series X.
