Just got mine from microsoft. Was scanned into athlone at 8.50 this morning. UPS called me asking for an eircode and they came 20 minutes later. Longest 20 minutes ever. The textures on the controller feel really nice.

The controller as a whole feels really nice. Doesn't feel as flimsy/cheap as previous controllers. Nice heft to it too

Console looks great in reality.

Not too big at all.

Completely quiet too
I also like the feel of new controller. Can confim that old play and charge kit battery fits.

Set ups are very easy. Connect everything turn on and it installs a 775mb update. Controller gets an update too. My controller was also installed by the console no need to press pairing buttons.

I used Xbox app on phone to set up console and that made it very easy.

I'm now installing games from old Xbox One X to Series X via Network Transfer (so clearly kept that connected). Once done I'll restore factor settings on old one ready for sale.

All very easy so far.

I'm guessing retailers are getting their units in these same shipments? Or will they have already received them?

Dublin 13. Latest tracking update said import scan in Dublin yesterday before delivery. Tracking still says due for tomorrow.

Strangely enough, the shock blue controller which was part of the same order hasn't arrived yet, despite dispatching at the same time. That one's tracking still says Tamworth on it.

Spoke to MS, who are saying it's not taken as they've not received notice that it's been dispatched yet. I've the Serial Number attached to my profile, so looks to be waiting on the update from UPS on where it is!

Probably throws this out to the end of the week, but no matter... as long as it arrives.

I'm jealous of those of you that have your new consoles. Enjoy!

Not surprised. I bought the Starcraft 2 Legacy of the Void CE from GameStop online on an offer and received it 2 days later, 6 months after that I received the dispatch email. :pac: :pac: :pac:

I totally forgot to pay the balance on my preorder with Currys who have now refunded me the deposit. Will try Argos and try my luck.

I wouldn't worry about what UPS is showing.

I don't think they've all been scanned on their route. Probably too many.

Mine was showing as Tamworth right up to when it was delivered this morning.

No word from Smyths or Harvey Norman thus far.
