    What's the best option for trading a Series S for X? Just GameStop @€;150+25%boost I'm guessing?

    Trying to sell my PC (2070 Super) and get XSX plus some cash. I would really love if all access came to Ireland, that would sort me out nicely.

    They said that some of their shipment had been damaged in transit, but I just received confirmation that it has shipped now, hopefully it should be here tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.:)

    I've a load of one4all vouchers from Christmas for this purchase so options for purchase are limited. I presume we are still some time off reasonable stock being available for the series X?

    Keep an eye on Argos, they have stock popping up and will take your vouchers

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Managed to get a Series X in Smyths in Tallaght there's 1 each for collection in both Jervis and Fonthill and 2 in Sligo at the moment.

    I can't believe the stock is still sporadic nearly seven months later.

    At this stage, it must be beyond Covid to have caused shortages that have gone on this long.

    Yes, there's a global semiconductor shortage, partly covid, partly planning, partly a fire in a plant. It's all come together to affect basically every industry, even cars, etc.

    This

    I also vaguely remember seeing a story about Malaysia (or there abouts) having a massive drought and some of the worlds largest semiconductor manufacturers happen to be based there. There was talk of civil unrest due to the amount of water these places use so reductions are in place.

    Started the application process for flexi finance in Harvey Norman, asked for my payslip and I had to move away from the application window to download the payslip, came back, window refreshed and returned to the start. I can't resume because the website isn't reacting despite the code being correct nor can I start a new application. This is so annoying...

    There still are some left in Smyths, but they go fast. Harvey Norman is meant to have them on June 9th, my order went finally through and hopefully I'll get email next week and will be able to collect it, fingers crossed.

    Wahey, mine was delivered earlier. Was expecting a lot more updates and the likes but very smooth setup process, being able to do it via the app is handy. Have it downloading about 10 games no from Game Pass, my plan is to basically never pay for a game outside of the subscription.

    Smyths home delivery of the X in stock, my dudes! Just placed an order and got a UPS shipping number for Thursday.

    Been loving my S for months so the upgrade was a no brainer after yesterday's showcase. Gonna give the S to the little sister.

    Edit: Gone now. Worth keeping an eye on it during the week, though. Seems they have drops which go straight to home delivery but not individual stores. 6 quid delivery, but sure.

    Wexford seems the only Argos that actually has a Series X in stock. I wonder if people have gone into an Argos in person and asked if they can reserve? I'm sure they have stock.

    Why would you physically go to a store and ask to reserve such a hard to get thing and not just buy it on the spot?

    Well that's what I meant. The reservation still needs to be placed in order for the purchase to be processed.

    On their site is says you can order now for collection at a future date, but it might be worth trying to do it in person, as they're still trying to block online orders/reservations.
