Ah right, sorry I thought that was a separate issue on top of what I replied about.

In terms of above, that's the situation you'll have I'm afraid. I'd say if it's that important and used, its probably worth rebuying on their profile.
 
£230 is a bit more than I want to spend, is the mouse any good?

A wired set up would be a USB hub extension for about £10 and I can probably play it sitting low on a little stool in behind the coffee table lol

Edit - Going to give the USB HUB a go first, i might not even like the experience anyway.

If you can get it comfy then that's great, it worked fine for me but was a bit too messy for the wife to deal with. The mouse on the turret is good, it's slightly magnetised so it doesn't fall of the mat which took a bit of getting used to.

What is the compatibility like for games?
I play COD all the time so perfect for what I want but not much past that. Metro Exodus and Gears both work well. I did email Phil Spencer to ask if the Bethesda catalogue would be adding support and whoever answers his emails said they'd "look in it" lol. I've got 26 days game time in Cold War so its been worth it to me.

I got it working, sitting in the middle of a 3 seater sofa, mouse on the right, the keyboard on the left. It works and quite comfortable although i rather a desk with a monitor.

I would prefer a shorter, less wide keyboard because with a 80% size one it kind of wobbles and pivot as I press down but other than that, no complaints.
 
Cool, I will try that next. Just trying to finish Alan Wake on the three days it’s got left on Game Pass.

Yeah I wouldn't do this just for achieve but I'm well into collecting the points. Glad I couldn't give them to you now!
Got Donut County, tell me why and walking dead Michonne lined up and day of the tentacle which I finished before so that should get me half way.

Used this for Doom 64. Took me an hour https://www.trueachievements.com/game/DOOM-64/walkthrough/3
 
woo I got a Series X from Very, well I think I did, ordered this morning and the website kept bringing stock up all through today, says picked and packed but estimated delivery date is 28th May, "direct from manufacturer", guess it must be ordered directly from China or wherever they're made.

Bit scared I move on the 17th May so hoping it will allow me to change address or allow to send to click and collect. Paid 489 as had 3 months of game pass ultimate.
 
That seemed to have lasted a good hour. I added one to my basket at 7.30pm but I decided against it right now as I’ve just shelled out for a 2TB SSD.

Still on there right now at 10pm. Have one in my basket with no intention of buying.
Had one on launch day, been toying with the idea of getting the Series S and the £40 discount on the expansion drive and sell the Series S.
£430 for the S and expansion drive, of which i only paid £344 to get that amount of credit.
I have £25 of MS reward points so i would be getting the S and the expansion drive for £319.
Selling the S for £200 brand new and unopened would mean only paying £119 for the expansion drive :D

And 15 mins later when i want to remove the X from my basket its says its out of stock :)
