    I got mine in my local Curry's and they told me they get them in dribs and drabs and just leave them out behind the counter and they are gone within half a day. Both Series X and PS5. They don't bother putting them online. So maybe check out your local Curry's and have a word with the manager. He/She will give you an idea when they are expecting stock next.

    For Gamestop the advice I was given by the manager was setup an account on their site, follow them on twitter and setup an alert. So when stock drops you will be notified on your phone. You can either then login and order online or if you have a good relationship with the staff, ring the store and ask them to hold it for you.

    I ended up saying "shag it" and I bought one in CEX, paying an extra €150 in the process.

    That said, I had a lot of things to trade in, so it cost me only €65 cash.

    It's not the best solution, but if you've been waiting nearly a year to find one, it might be worth it to you.

    You shouldn't have any problem getting one. Smyths saying they'll have stock this month. You can also go into any Curry's and ask, they usually keep them in stock out the back but don't put it on their site. I'd also try asking at the counter at Argos. I'm sure they've been getting them in, but they don't make them available on their site. If you try to reserve one at a kiosk in-store, it will tell you to talk to a manager.

    Quite a strong showing for the first limited edition, I like it. Think I would have preferred if the stars section was larger, but the controller looks lovely. Shame they didn't update the Elite 2 controller to have the share button as well, plus it still doesn't have DLI, despite the original Xbox One controllers having it.

    CEX are paying €492 cash for the Series X so might be an option if you can still get one of these

    Ordered mine last night. I think it looks great! Found it too hard to resist for many reasons, including nostalgia even though I can't believe it's been 20 years already since I bought my original Xbox. Still have that console and it works perfectly, albeit it has a 24k xenium in it. Still have original Halo hard copy too.

    At this stage, I think it's hard to find an original Xbox that hasn't been chipped.

    I have one here in the attic that's never been modded if it's any good to you? No cables though but there is a controller floating around.

    The existence of original Xboxes, unmodded is also hard to believe for me. Their security could be cracked by following a 3 minute tutorial.

    I've been keeping an eye out for the Series X on and off, but now that Halo draws closer, I'm very tempted to just settle for the S!

    Just an FYI. My husband picked up a series x in Tesco Clarehall last night. He was asking in Liffey Valley and another customer overheard him and said his friend had got one in the Clarehall branch so he tried and got the last one. Just sharing so that others can try Tesco and hopefully manage to get one.

    +1 on the above post. Called into my local Tesco and picked up the Series X today. Wasn't on Tesco website so advise would be to call in and ask.

    Did likewise but they told me they "don't sell consoles, definitely not". Anyone know if any of the Tescos in Cork County carry the Xbox?

    Maybe it was just that particular branch? The branch we got one in is a large one.

    Snagged a pre order for that Halo LE Xbox Series X and spent some gamestop credit I have had that I didnt have a better use for.


    I dont even like Halo that much. But it looks like a nice inoffensive paintjob. Got plenty of other things to keep busy on until November,

    Did a tour of every place in Cork out of interest the last few days and not a whiff. Going to flog my PS5 as soon as I get my paws on one.
