    Mine still just says it's been sorted, and nothing more. I'm thinking Anpost is prioritising Dublin over the rest of the country.

    I've had that happen before where The status didn't change until it was delivered. Mine is out for delivery now anyway. I think some An Post offices or staff are less keen on scanning barcodes than others.

    Well, mine got sent to the wrong sorting office and so had to go back to portlaoise to be resorted. Tomorrow hopefully!
    My brother got his in Roscommon today, he ordered right after me, so An Post aren't prioritising Dublin post it seems. I wonder did some orders just miss a cut off.

    We are approaching the end of the 22nd. Mine still just says sorted at 3:25 AM on the 19th. That's nearly 4 full days of stasis with no one touching it. Normally I have nothing but good things to say about Anpost but that's pretty poor.

    55" for me, as big as my room could really take. Xbox is huge, bigger than I thought it would be, just fits in my TV stand. Xbox updated, controller updating, fun starts soon😀

    This is rapidly turning into a black comedy. After 4 days, Anpost has decided they need to sort my delivery again, this time in Westmeath, which seems odd, as I'm in North Tipp. They have truly lost the plot.

    It'll work with most TVs/Monitors. If you put it into a crap one now, it'll look great when you try it with a better one. :)

    Thanks, I might borrow my son's spare 26" monitor to start the transfer. The 65" should arrive tomorrow and then the fun can begin.

    Are any of the recent games worth a pint? Looking at cyberpunk, call if duty or assassin's creed

    Don't know about the other two, but Vahalla is distinctly average. It's a problem Ubisoft has with multiple teams taking the lead on different iterations, things that they learn on one game, the other team forgets.

    Vahalla brings back the "chase after the floating page" secondary missions, but there's been no leap forward in the parkour system, so it's just a frustration filled mess of a series of missions. It wouldn't be so bad if you could just totally ignore them, but then you're missing out on a chunk of XP, so even the levelling system funnels you towards them.

    That's only a small issue, but there's so many similar small issues that really take away from the game. The most galling part of it is that most of these issues weren't in Odyssey.

    Cheers, I might look at cyberpunk as I know the Project red team have stated the series X update would be free to gamers who purchased early. I know this was glitch city when it came out but the whole concept of the game excites

    I enjoyed it on a One X, but I think it would be more enjoyable on the series X and new TV. There is a coterie of people who can't see past the faults and didn't seem to enjoy it, so you might want to read the dedicated thread on it and make up your own mind which camp you are likely to fall in.

    I hope CDPR keep working on it because if they do, the mature product should be something. I'm looking forward to playing it again in the future when it's even better.

    No Love. :mad:

    I'm begining to think I wasn't meant to have one. I already cancelled a previous order with Richersounds because of being messed with over the delivery and now a second retailer is inviting the same.

    I went in to Curry's and had them order one in. It took about a week, collect in store. For online stock there is a discord with notification of stock. Search cosie90 on twitch, the channel there has the info.

    They're outside my 5km so can't do that, unfortunately. Cheers!

    Put some shopping bags on the front seat. 'Yes I know there are shops nearer, but the recipe calls for artichoke hearts in avocado oil and the only place I could find that had them after 30 minutes of phoning is that one.'
