I was actually still on my road trip on the 14th, I didn't get home until the 16th...I think I was in York that night. It could have been worse lol
 
I joined the controller queue a few days after it was announced and got the do you want an email for it last night, if you're feeling impatient you can have my spot :)

Parcelforce are a sensible lot and turned up automatically at lunch time with a brown box for me...








The size of this thing is mad, it doesn't feel big enough to be real. Got a free half an hour to tear it open and change the NVME then hopefully I get some gaming time with it tomorrow...

The last pic is for reference against the AMD BC-250 build, which is still pretty small! Will try and get a good one compared to a series X as well

It could be several months until your chance comes along if the rumours about low production / high demand are true. Some are saying next year for those who didn't place a pre-order immediately. I placed an order just over 12 hrs after launch and haven't heard anything yet.

I joined as soon as the reservations opened and got the email to purchase on 01/06.

Sure is tiny & compact. Love the form factor ... just not the performance or price point. Is that the 2Tb version ?

Have fun with it and let us know what you think once you get a moment to put it through its paces.

Can the link be forwarded or do you have to buy it then i buy it from you + postage?

If it's the latter then i am not that desperate for it. Spent enough money this month so I am happy to wait longer.

I'd be interested to know how it compares to the BC250 in terms of both performance and how loud the fan is.
 
Got the email to purchase today. 512Gb without controller. So I bought it (on Paypal credit 0% over 4 months)

People moan about the price but £146 of that £879 goes straight to the government in VAT. Factor in everything else and it's not such a bad deal.

Anyway. I have no intention of trying to play AAA modern games on this thing. That world is kinda dead to me. It's a retro thing to play all the (100+) PC games I have on Steam (and a few Sony ones not available on Xbox)

Half Life 3. Bring it on.
