Smyths website has been updated to echo that very message. This is a fucking shambles.

I managed to scalp an X. Here's hoping my extra PS5 and Xbox series X pay for my own PS5
I doubt it. You might make £100 or so on the ps5 and I doubt you'll make anything on the xbox.

You'd be supprised..
Similar story for me.
Waited an hour on Game website and was refreshing Smyths website. Errors on both.
drove down to Smyths to be told Xbox All Access was online only.
Drove to Game, waited in line around the store but managed to preorder a code to use online from tomorrow for Xbox all access.
Hopefully won't experience any website issues tomorrow. I know they were running low on consoles as the manager was checking with the line who wanted which version.

At Amazon Germany the play&charge kit is available. But I'm looking for the 1TB expansion card... has anyone seen them in the wild?

If you're a PC main isn't that something to be really happy about? Plus there's nothing stopping you from getting a console anyway to play from the living room. Play an Xbox game on PC then pick up where you left off on the console.

Smyths entire website pretty much falling over is ridiculous. Why can't these companies stress test their sites properly?

Don't know where you're from. If from UK then Argos has it. I think that's the one isn't it? USB-C is used in the new controller right?

Do they have an app you could use? I couldn't do it through the Argos website but was able to through the app.

I hope my existing One X kit will still work. Anyone know?

Didn't they already confirm that Xbox One controllers would work on the new Xbox?

Nope. All gone. What the hell was the allocation?

They will, yes, so I assume the charging kit will, too, but you never know. Mine is third party.

They did. As a matter of fact, if you look at the current Xbox One controller listings, it mentions the Xbox Series consoles. At least that's what I found on Best Buy anyway.

Your charging kit should work with your current controller but someone correct me if I'm wrong; the new controllers are USB-C so old charging kits won't work with them.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
To be fair that may come down quickly, they keep you in the queue even if you leave the site

Can't believe the XSS is still available from Amazon, Argos and ShopTo and is yet to go up on John Lewis especially with the ultra low allocations.

UK tech websites other than Amazon are a fucking joke.

Couldn't get a pre-order in store at Game as the queue was massive and missed out. Ended up getting one online at Very. Gutted as I love picking up from store at midnight. But at least I got one. 4x as many people as in the queue for PS5 as snagged one of them easy. Will miss out on GAME elite credit now too. Bollocks.

thanks, well I got them preordered... looking at the shitstorm everywhere it was kinda too easy (all MediaMarkt) so I'll be shocked if I see no "sorry your order has been delayed till xxx because fuck2020" e-mail later on for at least one of them

In Curry's queue there was 180,000 before me at 10 so I think it was in high demand
I got mine through Argos fingers crossed it doesn't get cancelled

GAME website is down
Not even the PS5 crashed their website. Checkmate, Sony
Because people couldn't set their alerts to enter the site all at once.
Oh, and their digital edition sold out after minutes, but the XSS is still available everywhere... so... checkmate, MS.

As someone who pre ordered a PS5 and a XSX just now I was also pretty happy.
But I just can't stand pathetic fanboy posters like you who have to take every chance to laugh and spit at others.
You're not better than the people your laughing at right now, hope you know that.

Give it a few hours. The hordes will swamp the online stores eager to pick up an Xbox because they acquired Bethesda.
Series X sold out i think.
Series S gathering dust on digital store shelves.

My "Checkmate" comment was clearly a joke.
You were the one who responded to it with a serious fanboy post

And what if it doesn't?
You going to waste your time trying to sell a console to someone who doesn't want one?
