Morning folks. Just a quick heads up. I recall a discussion, on here, prior to Christmas about the new Xbox being totally impossible to get hold of. I was in the same boat as I really wanted to buy one for my 16 year old son for Xmas. Anyhow, it was an impossible task so I promised I would continue trying for him if he ‘does well with his GCSEs’ (bribery). Anyway, anybody still looking for one (not ideal with Xmas 5 months behind us or 7 months ahead of us) Argos, Barnsley have stock coming in on Tuesday.
Ordered one in February direct from Microsoft it was here within 2 days at the time no one else had them. If you want one and haven't tried Microsoft have a look on there website.
Shortage of microprocessors or sumat. That's what I read about the PS5 the other day anyway. Oh and best of luck to Joe on his GCSE's mate. He seems a smart lad, I'm sure he'll do you proud!
I used this app last sept and found one within a couple of weeks. https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/hotstock-in-stock-alerts/id1257690900
If you download Telegram and sign up to stock informer you get a message as soon as a store gets stock in. I managed to get the Xbox X and PS5 that way.
Yes, every industry from cars to fridges, Planes to Consoles uses them. I was extremely lucky to get a PS5 pre-ordered when Game put them out for sale on the night of the ps5 reveal. You had about 5 minutes to get through the process that night rather than the 1 minute you seem to get now.
You also have to ask the question, are you playing on 4K with the Xbox? If not then the series s is perfectly fine for a full hd TV and it's a damn sight easier to get hold of. In regards drops, I made myself a member of the stockdrops discord and you can choose what alerts you get for what products. I used it for graphics cards drops but also have alerts for Xbox and ps5
As I work for the NHS I managed to bag a PS5 through the VIVUP scheme last year, it was impossible otherwise.
I ordered my PS5 from Game.co.uk , otherwise it was almost impossible to get one , so you can try getting the xbox series x from there if that helps , good luck.
I got mine from eBay in november, only paid 30 quid more than they were listed for at Smyths at the time.
Went for my booster jab the week before Xmas, wandered into Game to get my mate's lad a present, got to the till and they had some PS5's in stock. So I bought one on the spot.
