You need to think like a store would. When I got mine from Smyths the stock was gone in minutes. Stock will come in the morning from depot and then will be added to system by the dispatch team at the store so just sit down with a cuppa in the morning (6am to 9am) and refresh stock. I must have did it for two weeks and got one in the end. Have pages up for other stores as well. Make sure all payment details are saved/accounts made to help checkout a lot easier.

They only made their bundles available, and they were available for 5 mins or so.
The add to basket button for the regular x didn’t work
Just out of curiosity what were the bundles?
It does seem like stock is creeping back in the UK just sells out super fast. I got the "add to basket" problem just trying to order the single console and didn't see any bundles.

There was a bundle with games and another with controllers: https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb...e-and-second-black-controller-bundle/b/800548

Interesting Digital Foundry video showing how it should be possible to get 1080p/60/RT out of the series X ( if the devs wanted to! ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayJyaaFRbT8

Not surprising, but very interesting nonetheless. Wish we had a 60fps RT mode on the X. It bodes well down the line.

It performs brilliantly on the Series X!
Looks good on the X looks like it's even better than PS5 upgrade which is missing a few things.

That's because the pro did not have those effects, the one X did. So they only added 4k 60fps to both consoles but the one X version already had said effects.
Ahh fair enough didn't even know that and played loads of it on my PS4 Pro.
Glad I never played much of Division 2 on my One X. Because on the Series X it really is now super smooth and still looks good for the age of the game!
The Series X is breathing more life into gaming playing these upgraded titles. My PC is looking worried in the corner . .. . .

I don't think there has ever been a better time to dump PC gaming. Used prices are just crackers! I reckon I'd get maybe £1,800 if I sold all of my parts; enough to buy a Series X and a 55" LG OLED. And it's not exactly a high-end machine.
Total War remains the only reason I'm not selling up. And that's only because there is no other way to play these titles (aside from Shadow, which is expensive ans has a long waiting list). They're not on console. Or Stadia. Or Geforce Now.

I'm the same. If I used my pc for other things I would probably stick with it but at the moment for me it's just a expensive console with more faff which makes it hard to justify continuing for me.
Even new game prices are same as console these days unless they are on sale. I tend to by second hand physical which you can't really do on pc.

It’s an easy justification to make the jump right now. I’ve not looked back.
but, but, Cyberpunk. It’s hard to justify the cost of a PC anymore.
