Join their discord (you can find it on his twitter page).

That way you can set notifications to just the Xbox channel within their discord.

Cool, it worked for my friends. I guess working to get something is just not that common anymore.

Honestly following Lbabinz is worth it…but can be bad for your wallet.

Lots of collectors stuff but it’s maybe 8-10 notifications a day and not that hard to sift through.

It’s how I got my PS5 and Series X though, so it works. Plus some other stuff I would have had no idea I “needed” if not for those notifications.

I had to unfollow lbabinz. I'm only moderately interested in a console right now and the sheer number of tweets from this account is incredibly overwhelming. Not worth it for me, bit it does seem like a good way to be on top of getting one of these consoles.

I am looking for an Xbox Series X for a close friend if anyone finds one available, could you please let me know? I have sold two PS5s to CalgaryPuck members at retail cost as I was in a position to buy them, but don't use Playstations. Hoping someone would be willing to help me, if at all possible. Thank you.

PS5 up at Bestbuy for Store pickup. Hard for bots to get this time.

Well Paypal just charged my credit card, hopefully that means it's close to shipping. Little less worried now about it getting cancelled

Xbox series X stock available for pick-up in Red Deer if anyone lives there or wants to make a road trip. Grab one for me if you do use postal code T4P2B1

Followed Lbabinz for about 10 days and just got a PS5 from McKenzie Walmart this morning. Last night their inventory showed 48 and this morning was at 26. Looked at Google and it showed they opened at 8am. So I went at like 7:15 and the doors were open and people were coming out with them so I thought I missed out. But went in and got the 2nd Last one!

Whoever posted that link, thanks!

A year later and it's harder to get an Xbox Series X than it was at launch time. I've been following Labinz for months with no luck. Oh well, keep on trying
