Very have pushed my delivery date to "before 2nd December" absolutely gutted.

I wonder if they even have stock as its been "being packed" for 4 days now?!?

Very don’t stock anything they are just a middle man in between suppliers. I read something about them a while back. When you place an order they forward it to the supplier who sends it direct. Very just deal with payments it seems. They are part of shop direct if I remember...

Ah balls. I thought it was too good to be true.

As has been discussed previously, something like 8 EBL AAs and a charger for £24 from Amazon will sort this for you!

EBL Batteries & Charger

That link takes you to the charger and 8 AAA batteries. I can't change it because the Amazon app sucks, so if you do go for it, make sure you change it to the AA batteries!

Indeed. AA batts all the way, forget the proprietary guff.
 
I think the play and charge kit is great. Just plug it in overnight to charge no need to change batteries. It’s even easier now it’s usb c too.....

Good on them to give you a refund. I’m waiting on a non-delivered AC game and Ubisoft have pretty much stuck their fingers up at me. I’m nearly at the point of going through my credit card if PayPal can’t resolve it.

As for charging, I went down the eneloop and amazon basics charger route (at least 3 times the total charge plus overcharge protection) having looked at all the play and charge kits and stands.

About half way through Assassins Creed Valhalla and tbh fed up with it now. It’s easily the worst Assassins Creed I have played and the amount of bugs is just silly. The combat just does not feel right and the Viking setting is just not that enjoyable. Think I might just shelve it and carry on with Divinity......

Got the same the other day.
 
Can anybody help me with sub 50" TVs that have VRR please? It seems that manufacturers don't included features like 120hz and VRR on the smaller versions of their sets, even if the 55" has it. I simply cannot fit anything bigger than about 49" in (ooooer!).
48” LG OLED is your only option.
 
Success!!! My series X is being packed so should hopefully have it next week as it’s being delivered by Royal Mail.

Relieved that I’ll be getting it before 18th dec as that’s a hard pill to swallow as it’s a month off lol.

Mind you knowing my luck, it probably will be delivered to me by dec 18th :p

As already said, the 48CX is your only option. And it's an excellent one.

Is it as 'looty' as the last two? Seemed to get a new weapon evey 5 minutes.
