GameStop stores across the United States have stopped taking preorders for the Xbox One, as launch-day allocation has reportedly reached its cap. Preorders through GameStop's website remain open and available.

Polygon reports that GameStop senior managers have sent word to store managers informing them to no longer accept preorders until Microsoft makes additional stock available.

The site spoke with GameStop stores across the country, with all outlets declining to accept preorders for the next-generation Xbox. These stores continue to take PlayStation 4 orders, as managers said stock for Sony's system is "considerably higher than Microsoft's."

GameStop began taking Xbox One preorders on June 10, the day Microsoft held its E3 2013 media briefing and announced a $500 price point for the system. Consumers can reserve a unit by providing a $100 deposit.

A GameStop spokesperson confirmed with Polygon that, "Due to high demand, GameStop is not taking additional store reservations for the Xbox One Day One Edition. However, reservations can still be made at www.gamestop.com."

Stock will still be the deciding factor. Which if what we've been hearing is true, is bad news for MS.

They just said that because of all the DRM crap. They now said pre-orders are up again. GS was just mad

we know that but it seems it's down again.... so maybe this time cap is reached....

Wouldn't be surprised. Stock does seem to be quite limited.

Is it difficult to make Xbox One's or something? Sony seem to be able to take a lot of pre-orders for their system and i though the systems were pretty similar

or they just limited it at GameStop lol

This has been discussed on the site already. GameStop were just pushing the PS4 harder because of the Xbox ONE's used game policies. They've been removed and GS are now again taking orders.

well yeah like I said we know that... but apparently they are again running out of pre orders in stores from some reports.... might be fake or that the cap has been reached....
