Xbox Series X preorder fun
 

So the new Xbox became available to preorder this morning in the UK. Spent hours online but a lot of the big sites like Game, Currys etc had issues with their websites crashing and stock went quick. I actually had 1 in my basket on the Microsoft official website for a few hours but i kept getting errors every time i clicked the buy now button. I eventually had to go to a Smyths store and preorder at the desk for £25. I ordered it at 2.10pm and Smyths then announced they were sold out at 2.28pm. Im sure the preorders also start in the USA at some point today. Is anyone over the pond going to try get one?. If so id get in early incase you have the issues we have had

I was hoping that gta6 would be available by now and was hoping to order both. But since it’s not I will probably wait until they are in stores

I'm sticking with Playstation but not overly fussed if i get it on release or not. Not kids etc so it's for me only so if i don't have by Xmas or whatever it's no big deal.

I'll be happy to let the madness pass first and just buy if and when there's plenty about...

Yeah Scott its for the boy. Im a Playstation guy as well but il get the PS5 next year.Only launch game for PS5 i wanted was the new Spiderman Miles Morales but they are now releasing it on PS4 so il just get it for that and save some dough

Apparently the USA has the same issues

I still have my PS3 that I bought in 2006 and it still works fine. I'm not a gamer but I use it for movies.

I'm thinking about getting a PS5 but I'm getting a gaming laptop this x-mas (gaming systems will hold up better to the 20+ tabs I end up having open on my 2 monitors)

wanted the xbox, didn't get it. I guess I too have to wait
:(

Were you trying to get it online?

I got a few xbox preorders and some ps5 preorders :)
