“I recently noticed Target will only be taking orders for X-Box as pickup or curbside pickup only, they will not be shipping them out. This may potentially be a solution to stopping BOTs, is Best Buy considering this process as well?”

Most big stores are only allowing online ordering and picking it up at the store to help slow the bots down from buying them all. Also Best Buy has implemented a system that will help defeat the bots in purchasing them all in one go. When I ordered mine, I had to add to cart and wait for about 10-15 mins after I clicked add to cart. One added to the cart, I had to resign in and get through the rest of the security steps they have in place. Best Buy is doing a great job in slowing down these bots. If you get lucky and find yourself at that stage of when they’re released and having to wait before it’s added to your cart then be sure that you have all of your shipping and billing info setup on your account along with your debit/credit card on file so it will make things quicker and easier when checking out since they sell out within the first minute. I hope this info is of some use to you and I wish you the best of luck on your next try at purchasing.
