Xbox Series S & X - All Supply/Order Chat Here SEE UPDATED MOD NOTE IN FIRST POST

CinemaGuy45

As we all know new stock of the new consoles will likely be after Christmas and some of us have pre orders I suggest those of us who are thinking of canceling instead offerer them here.

I managed to pre order a Xbox Series S from Microsoft themselves and while I think the idea of the same thing in HD instead of 4k to save on processing is a great idea the 500GB of internal storage will not be enough for me €250 to add that additional One Terabyte Card brings things up to a grand total of €550.

I don't want to wait until after Christmas to enter the next generation so ideally I would prefer the Xbox Series X with the one Terabyte.

The Series S is sold out everywhere along with the Series X and the PS5.

I am looking for a Series X so instead of cancelling that preorder why not offer it up here I and others may be willing to throw in a few extra euro for the trouble.

I will offer up my Series S pre order and if nobody in interested come November 10th I will just open it and start playing.

I know this is an xbox section of the forum but any unwanted PS5 pre orders would be welcome here also I am not interested in the PS5 but I am sure many others here are.

This is not for profiteering or ripping people off I think a few euro extra to anybody giving up a pre order this side of Christmas would be fair considering this means Christmas without a next generation console.

We are all gamers here so all that I am saying is let us offer up unwanted preorders here before cancelling.

Mods please take a look at this if any adjustment to this post is needed I am open to ideas.

MOD NOTE: This thread is going to be our go to thread for all supply and orders chat from now on. As per the forum charter, there is to be no selling on thread, even if selling at cost price.

MOD NOTE 2: No scalping, or even mention of buying/selling for a profit. This will result in a ban.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps you need to download from GamePass and play 4K 120 FPS HDR on that console and TV. Incredible game.

Been tryin to get a Series X since launch but really only been checking online. Walked into Curry's in Limerick Parkway Retail Park yesterday, and manager said they were expecting some Series X but not in yet. Chanced it this afternoon They got 3 in. Picked one up. They don't put them online and just leave them on the back counter the manager said. Might still have one left if anyone wants to try. Alas they have no telephone number you can ring, just the call center who can't check store stock.

Also on pricing their website says 529 with 3 months game pass ultimate. The shop deal is 549 with a controller. They had 3 month game pass cards in stock and would have done me the online deal but the cards scanning for them at all. In the end I only paid 500 and got the Series X but somehow ended up with a 2nd controller in the bag.

Signed up for Game pass...but my broadband is so pants, am still waiting for Doom Eternal to come down. Have a bunch of others queued as well (GTA V, Gears 5, Horizon 4, Halo Master Chief Collection, Jedi Fallen Order). Should keep me busy for some time. Also Witcher 3 and Bioshock Collection can be had for a tenner or less as on sale now. Looking forward to Diablo 2 the most though. Will finally put my LG CX48 to some sweet gaming use as it's only been a glorified monitor for WFH since I got a it a few months back. Have not gamed on consoles in 3 years+ (other than the Switch) so a lot of catching up to do.

Same here - also ordered one from smyths and it's home delivery. Transaction is pending on my card and have yet to get a confirmation email so fingers crossed but unsure if it will come through. Worth a shot anyway

CiaranTheGreat

Just a heads up I just ordered one from smiths website. Not available for in store pickup but only home delivery. 500€ plus 6€ delivery

Curry's are the tossers I had a run in with over my One X controller when the right thumb stick click button stopped working. They claimed the controller was considered a consumable and not subject ti the EU mandated 2 yr warranty.

Complete nonsense but they lost any further business from me for life. I'd advise anyone to avoid that shower like the plague.

I'm no fan of Curry's but no one recognises the 2 year warranty here, because it was never implemented. You need to go through the Small claims procedure in Ireland to exercise your consumer rights under the Sale of Goods Act.

Receipt confirms that the price of 539.99 is for the console alone, no bundle, no extras.

Curry's have changed the Series X with 3 months GPU to €529. It was definitely €579 last week.

I'd be complaining, that's for sure.

What's a month of GPU normally got for in € at this stage? Seems an expensive bundle.

I know quite a few of us bodged it but €80 is not much less than I paid for 3 years worth.

RRP is €12.99/pm, but currently you can get 3 months for €1 for new customers.

I got 3 months for a euro on top of my gold for the next couple of year's only last week....

you should have got a card for 3 months game pass with it for that price. I would go back to see where your game pass code is. Also check your receipt sometimes the code is on there.

Nope, nothing. I left the receipt in the car, will have a look at it tomorrow.
In the box: console, controller (w/ batteries), power cable, HDMI cable, little booklet nobody ever reads, and "quick guide" or something on a folded card.

Completely unrelated: how do you get audio out of this thing? Looks like they removed the optical out for some reason.

If it was in the last seven days, then Currys have a price match promise. Even if it's not in the last seven days, it's worth talking to them.

That's shocking

In fairness, optical out is being depreciated everywhere really. It just doesn't have the bandwidth for the latest audio tech, and hasn't for a good few years now.

You dont - without getting an hdmi audio breakout contraption. MS now want you to get your audio out from the TV. Price should have been €499, unless Game Pass or the like were added extras.

No optical out on the PS5 either.

So, I walked into the Curry's in Blanch and got an XBox Series X. Was surprised when he asked for 539.99 euro though.
I bought one for the son in February, and it was 499. He said no, it wasn't. Makes me question my sanity.

Does anyone know what is the actual price for this thing?

Just noticed they have the Series X with 3 months GPU for €579 on their site. Not a chance 3 months GPU is worth €80. Something fishy going on there.

I've tried a few times to reserve for a future date on Argos. You get an email but with no order number or anything.

Yeah, that's why I'm suggesting to do it in store at a kiosk, or even ask at a counter. They're still trying to stop online reservations.

Basil3 wrote: »

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.

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?
