Almost 10000 in the old thread, so it's time to start anew. The old thread can be found here.

Before you post in here, remember that there might be a more appropriate thread in the forum, with the main ones being:

Deals With Gold
Bargain Alerts
4K and HDR TVs
XBox gaming
Xbox system updates
Xbox Live Gold subscription deals

Remember, be kind to each other, don't be a d**k.

Enjoy.

I stumbled on this thread and thought the last few posts were about achievements in Overcooked 2 :pac:

Ah that makes more sense, ours is similar enough in fairness..

Food waste we compost veg etc for the garden, rest goes in a brown bin we got from our waste company.

But uh yeah....Xbox :pac:

id imagine this new bin has two lids thus its technically two bin in one compartment and the recycling is seperated that way, the real question is where does the food waste go.

i got a kitchen caddy for food waste, great little thing on the counter.

none of this helps my xbox one

It's a tall two in one bin, recycling on the bottom, rubbish on top. Both big enough to be useful, without needing to empty them all the time. Previously I had two big bins, taking up lots of room in my really small kitchen.

They had an Ear and Nose hair trimmer on bargain alerts the other week, any use? :pac:

I bought one.

Ha, it's incredible the things that age and being locked down bring on. At the start of lockdown, I did about a weeks worth of research on kitchen bins, and eventually spent more money on a single bin than I have on all the other bins I've bought in my entire life.

It's a total game changer, fits perfectly in the kitchen, and allowed me to get rid of a separate recycling bin.

no, thats what i traded in and got the same amount from gamestop. you might get more on a private sale, but tbh, it seems like a lot of those scorpios had issues.

They seem to be going for good money on ebay. What issues? Must have a Google. Mine certainly didn't have any. Won a high spec gaming rig recently so the xbox definitely won't be used.. What should I price it at of you don't mind me asking?
Was. Looking forward to the series x but wouldn't match the gaming rig.. Getting less excited about tech as I get older

It's just a preload token. Once the preload starts it will automatically download it. It's been this way for the entire generation wrt pre loads.

Never actually preloaded myself, I've got a good enough connection that I never felt the need.

That makes a lot of sense, cheers

Surprised they have it up for preload, to be honest, as far as I know it's not gone gold yet.

As it gets closer to launch, they'll put the full game up on the servers and it'll update on your machine.

Even if you downloaded the full game there would be patches every so often up and until release. And probably some even after release.

Just tried preloading via the Xbox app for cyberpunk 2077 but the file was only 100mb, that's not right is it?

Remember having championship manager on the oG xbox back in the day.

A terrible way to play the game it was!

Can't imagine playing it on console. I get I could set up a keyboard/mouse.... but I play football manager while watching tv, or while my menu is loading in Destiny 2. I can't imagine properly concentrating on it!!

You could probably get a full match in waiting on Destinys menus to load :pac:

They didn't ship the PS5 to Ireland either.

I tried to find out why but there was no explanation. With the PS5 I thought it might be the lithium battery in the controller but that's presumably not the case since Xbox comes with alkalines by default.

They have not been shipping a lot of things here lately.

If it was batteries they wouldn't ship to NI either, so its not that.

Anyone order through the EU sites? Im finding myself using Amazon.de more and more these days.

I guess they haven't finished setting them up. Hopefully in future we won't have this problem.

I am surprised they aren't selling to Ireland, as they are opening warehouses here this year due to Brexit. They must surely nearly have those ready to go.

Maybe they're not even aware of it.

The problem is they're such a behemoth there is no easy way of getting in touch with a person and having an ordinary conversation about it, 'are you aware that you're not shipping to Ireland and is there any reason?' It's next to impossible, you just get cut & paste replies from people in India.

I wouldn't agree with that. I've used their chat services plenty of times and got through no problem and had problems resolved.

Isn't it all to do with the WEEE charge in Ireland?

It annoys me on Amazon how they don't ship a lot to Ireland and also that we're bunched in with UK and have to pay in sterling.

I think we're just a very low priority for them, when they created the listings for the new consoles they couldn't be bothered selling them to us.

When I bought a PS4 off amazon 2 or 3 years ago I had to use parcel motel too I think.

Well you can buy a PS4 off them right now, no bother shipping here. Same with Xbox One. So there can't be anything that is inherently stopping them (lithium regs etc).

I think we're just a very low priority for them, when they created the listings for the new consoles they couldn't be bothered selling them to us.
