Well they got 400-something quid of my money this morning...XBox Series X to be picked on Tuesday apparently.
I'm still trying to get some bloody PSVR Move Controllers - I have been trying to get some since before Christmas when I got the headset. I'd appreciate a link if anyone sees any at the normal (£70) price. I just went on to Argos as it was showing 'Limited Stock' but when I checked out it said they weren't available for collection or delivery FFS.

10k units this week alone.

I've got some from the first time around 🙂 Keep trying though they you can play beat sabre.
Holy crap is that what they sell for?

Yep that's what we want them for. I want a gun so I can crap myself playing DoomVR
Cheers Cougar - I'd rather get new (as they are still meant to be a very delayed Christmas present) but that may well become an option.
Fair. But needs must when the devil vomits in your kettle.

You jammy git. I assume that was from a notification? 3am?
After seeing the E3 highlights I'm starting to sway from an S to an X. Can't justify either TBH but might allow myself a frivulous moment.
And I can't seem to sign up to the right notifications on Discord. PS5 yes, X no.
Well sh1t the bed, I just jumped on the Argos site and ordered an X for collection from local store on Monday. Hmm...
I’m playing it now. It’s stunning and great fun.
The 8 year old is currently glued to it "it's just Skylanders daddy!"
Very impressive!
Before I put it on Facebook, does anybody want a played for 2 mins by a 15yo copy of ratchet and crank for ps5? £45.
Amazon now have stock of Xbox Series X

X now gone, just the S left.
The X was also in stock at JL for all of 5 minutes.

Dunno, the wife ordered it. It did involve having to drive to Hinckley so it's not all rainbows and unicorns.
I did check the box and I can confirm it's a XBOX series X and not some house bricks or flour.
Game are allow in store orders for PS5 now.
Anyone played Death Stranding ?
Very also have the X, shipping 2nd July.
I got my ps5 there, they seem to get huge amounts of stock.
dyna-ti
I played Death stranding not long after it came out (finished it but doubt I'll ever replay it)
I couldn't recommend it to anyone it's very polarizing.
If your a fan of Kojima and his over the top nonsensical storylines then give it a go, I liked the quieter bits where you are just walking from A to B up hills admiring the scenery, it's good looking game but those bits don't last long.
And I'm a fan of Metal Gear Solid btw.
Cheers for that RS, think i'll give it a miss. Doesnt really sound my cup or earl grey.
Stock seems to be easing on the ps5 - I bought another two this morning from Amazon pretty easily (don't ask).
I don't want to hear that - I have just decided to invest in a new coffee machine as I was fed up of waiting (saying that, Beat Saber on VR is keeping the whole family very much occupied right now so no PS5 is actually required)!
Yeah pretty much weekly stocks in Argos now.

Every time I have looked there hasn't been any (and none on there today).
That’s because you’ve missed them.
For those sitting on the fence between PS and Xbox (of any flavour), I must say that I'm mightily impressed with the latter's Game Pass Ultimate. An insane number of games, including lots of first day AAA releases, for £10/month.
Having been a PS fan for 15+ years - and being actively disinterested in anything-Xbox - I've now seen the light and think Microsoft have absolutely nailed it. Lots of indie devs being given plenty of exposure through GPU as well, so all in all a strong VFM contender.
I still use my PS4 for an hour here and there, but PS Now is just so devoid of variety. XSX with GPU all the way for me right now.
Game Pass Ultimate... for £10/month.
You can get it for a lot less than that. A 12 month Gold sub from cd keys / electronic first is like £40, then you can convert up to three years' worth for £1/month. That comes out at sub-£5.
It wasn't a loophole, it was an offer. Far as I'm aware it's still available.
Hither and thus.

If you've got a PC with a VPN connection where you can pretend to be in Brazil to activate the code then it's even cheaper. https://www.electronicfirst.com/12-month-xbox-live-gold-membership-brl/
Then convert to Ultimate.
https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/live/gold/upgrade
Three years of Ultimate for £120. By my maths that's £3.30 a month. Or £153 / £4.25 if you don't want to use the VPN trick.
I assume all the newspapers having constantly updating 'articles' about PS5 stock availability is just clickbait to increase page clicks (and therefore advertising revenue)? They must be loving this.
Yeah, I was going to have a go at one at those GPU deals but it seemed like a lot of faff and might not even work (after subscribing up front for something like 1 year at full RRP?). Hence I started with the 3 months at £1/month offer then I'll carry on at a tenner a pop because it's huge VFM.

I have no idea I still have the Twitter account I suggested active, it updates with predict release and when they go live. People are reporting of walk ins though, Smyths at the weekend for example.

I've used both CDK and FE for years without issue, they're solid and far from full RRP (which is the point). You buy the code, they email it to you usually in the next few minutes and you type it in. Then click to convert as per the previous link. That's it. This literally more than halves your already "huge" VFM costs.
Granted, buggering about with VPNs to Brazil is a little faff, but I've never bothered with those codes.
As a rule of thumb: outside of sale offers, buying subscriptions and games directly through the console is usually the single most expensive way of doing it. You pay a convenience tax.
Argos has gone live with PS5 for click and collect
The Argos stock is all gone, didn't last long.
Expect a sudden mass of ebay listing later reselling most of it!
Game also have in store stock.
Argos do roll outs so some may appear in stores through the morning.
Sheffield and York have stock.
TLDR sorry, but is it worth getting PS5 yet? What games are must have next gen amazing must haves? The boy and I are happy with Apex Legends and Fifa on PS4, replaying RDR2 also.
