they dont care otherwise they would let us preorder and put us on a waitlist which would be fine. I have no problem waiting! what I do have a problem with is paying 2x or 3x more than people who literally make a living off of scalping computers/consoles and can literally sit there refreshing the page 24/7. I honestly have a decent pc and really dont want a console but my girlfriend is the biggest halo fan in the entire world she has a halo 360 and a halo xbox one so Id like to be able to get her the new one as well if possible but it seems that not 1 single retailer care or Microsoft cares what their consumers want.

1 per customer is a totally weak impotent system of protection because these scalpers who use retail bots have many accounts under many different credit card numbers. They will get 99% of these Halo consoles. They are already up for sale on ebay for $1000+.

Just look at what they did for the PS5 last week when they had a few available. In order to try to buy one you had to sign up and pay $200 for their useless "Total Tech" membership. Thus BB adds $200 to the cost of the unit, becoming the scalpers themselves, or will only sell to the scalpers that will pay extra so they can gobble up as many units as possible. Thank you BB for taking it to the consumer.....

Hey! So I see this coming an issue throughout many years so their going to ONLY only ONE console Per Customer. This SHOULD slow down the process to allow others to snag one for themselves.
