Just picked up one more S from Argos. I'm done with the 5 now. Keeping an X and get rid of the rest

 

[Goody_GTI]

Yes also managed to get one through Amazon using the links above, thanks!

Spent ten minutes refreshing John Lewis and didn’t even see one pop up let alone order one

 

[banbom44]

thanks for the amazon link even got 30 days of prime for free does amazon take payment upfront or when its shipped for preorders?

 

[gumpy321]

Got the X on Amazon and S on GAME.

 

[McBain]

FINALLY got through on MS site, ill be leaving both that and the Amazon order open until delivery is confirmed.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

That's me got one on Amazon and one on Argos.

Will probably cancel the Argos one later as Amazon don't take cash up front.

HDMI. It has a new 2.1 port, so you can output up to 4K/120FPS

Unfortunately, there is no optical out anymore, though.

Cool, Thanks. Cable sold separately?

If I was buying the new AC game, would there be a specific version to buy? Like an Xbox series X version or some such?

 

[malachi]

Ordered, nice and easy.

Are Very doing pre-orders? Registered interest and they say they're taking orders but cannot find them on their website.

[pcfarrar]

Somehow I managed to order 2 from the MS store

 

[DRneocortez]

Still working a dream here:

MS site just keeps going to review and then hanging, ******* joke.

Check the boxes - like delivery address, not very clear but next to your address it should say”standard free shipping”.

my confirmation says expected delivery launch day, but is that even real?

 

[Ryan-3]

Also, will game pass include games like the new AC game?

You might get a trial period for GP included with your purchase, but the latest Ubisoft games won't be included as far as I'm aware.

Just managed to complete on the Microsoft store, but it was painful.
I was logged in with all my payment and address details already saved to my account, but once I got through to the checkout it all fell apart.

I was asked to select my delivery address, so I clicked upon the saved address and it then wanted me to edit the address details.... just use them!
Got through that part and then after a long wait the delivery address had some yellow text saving some items could not be delivered to specified country?!?!
Refresh the page and after a long wait it, eventually, all looked good. Press checkout and then another long wait until.... a yellow banner at the top saying "something went wrong, try again".
Click checkout again, another long wait and this time it worked! Got the confirmation email straight away as well.

 

[glenimp617]

whats the amazon link? the home page says not yet available?

 

[Jono8]

What do we think about stock levels (because i guess even if we have preordered we still might be down a long way in a queue)?

I reckon MS and Amazon will likely have the biggest stock allocation.

 

[Mark1989]

Game list all access option just don't let you order it

 

[Ryan-3]

MS site just keeps going to review and then hanging, ******* joke.

Hang on though (pun intended). Mine changed the name of the tab and when I opened it, started working again. It does eventually get you to where you want to be.

 

[budge1972]

Pre ordered one of each from Argos
Very slow process but be patient.

 

[Cryfreeman]

Grabbed a Amazon order and a game on all access. Waiting on a game email to say I made the cut though ?
