They had a load (6/7 behind the counter) of regular series X in Currys liffey valley few weeks ago when I strolled in
Back available again now...
Gone again - that was quick!
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,
Maybe it was just that particular branch? The branch we got one in is a large one.
More Halo console bundles up for preorder on GameStop, just nabbed one myself:

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?
+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.
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.
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!
I have one, in perfect working order. :)
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.
At this stage, I think it's hard to find an original Xbox that hasn't been chipped.
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.
Yeah that's a good point, shame not out till November tho would miss my 1 at moment if I got rid of it now.
CEX are paying €492 cash for the Series X so might be an option if you can still get one of these
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.
Looks really nice, shame I have already gotten original one as I would of went for this instead.
Special Edition Halo ones went live today

Ordered online and got a email confirming , can see transaction pending on credit card today.
Hopefully comes in the next day or so. I used a discord chanel for alerts think its called cosies
Did you guys order from Gamestop online or venture in store? Showing out of stock on their website now alas
Likewise, thanks @finno
Just got one
GameStop is live now
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.
Any one got any leads on a series X little lad is angling towards one for xmas so time to start looking
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.
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.
Same boat as above. I have been watching the usual retailers to try and order one the last few weeks but no luck.
Is Argos any use? The website says I can reserve and collect in a week in most nearby Argos stores but I am not sure I trust it?
