FWIW, I asked a (USA) Microsoft store employee through the chat link on the Xbox series x pre-order page and she said they are aiming for 12:01am EST. I live in Oregon and asked her "so that would mean 9:01pm PST" and she said there's nothing official yet but that's the goal. Again, it was emphasized that nothing is official and the time could change.Senorian1075
