    So now I have the console ordered ! What’s the best way of keeping the controller charged

    Is there a specific recharging pack people get or just buy a load of cheap non recharging aa batteries ?

    Up to you.

    You can use normal AA batteries but why not get rechargeable ones. Have 2 in controller and 2 on charge and swap.

    You can also get a Play and Charge kt. MS one's a good one. You call also use older version battery pack but you will need a USB -C cable to charge it.

    Plenty of 3rd party charge kits out there too.

    Had one in the cart on the UK site but didn't checkout on time.
    Is it possible to order from different MS stores and deliver to Ireland?

    Yes, stick to EU countries, all one market.

    Some here got them off Poland site.

    Keep getting one in the checkout then get this error when I buy now:

    'Try that again

    Something happened on our end. Waiting a bit might help.

    :(

    Mine is estimated for delivery Friday the 13th. I hope it doesn't show up in pieces.

    Placed mine on the german store, not sure if it glitched or not the webpage loaded in and allowed the selection and similar with the selecting the build showed out of stock but a refresh and it allowed selection.

    MS took payment but i am not sure if they will fulfill.

    Mine went through but they never took the payment. They said I will be charged once it's shipped.

    My previous tracking info was

    11/09/2020 - 9:48 P.M.

    Castle Donington, United Kingdom

    Departed from Facility

    and has been followed up with

    11/10/2020 - 12:22 A.M.

    Koeln, Germany

    Arrived at Facility

    Anyone got anything similar? It still says that it'll be delivered here in Ireland by the end of Tuesday, but that's going in the wrong direction by anyone's reckoning.

    I missed out on the Curry's fiasco but if I had seen it on time I would have put a order through.

    Yep that’s the same as my update. Fingers crossed!


  • Registered Users Posts: 365 ✭✭Nopeare


    I got the same 9:48 update. Good to know mine is in with another lot now.

    My order has now just gone to koeln Germany 11:22 (12:22 their time) why go from England to Germany to deliver a parcel in Ireland?

    This Xbox is having a better holiday than me this year

    Haven't got around to it, will do later, but I could have sworn I heard that Watchdogs didn't work with quick resume (could be wrong as I've no interest in the game)......perhaps thats interfering ?

    Tried a few things quick resume alright.....but the likes of Gears don't seem to support it right now, but jumping in and out of Ori, Lonely Mountains, Crackdown 3, Sekiro etc fine (though the latter switches to offline mode)


  • Registered Users Posts: 697 ✭✭✭kevin2me


    Got mine delivered this morning. Strangely I havent been charged for it yet?

    Got to say its a sleek looking console, looks fab on a shelf in my AV Center.

    Rumble is pretty different on the controller and its much more grippy.

    Copying and downloading games all evening.

    Favourite thing so far the console itself. Its perfection. Love the design.

    Next up waiting for new AAA next gen games to arrive!

    Got as far as the just step of checkout in both Irish and UK sites on 3 phones and no joy getting order through!
    Looks like up early to try again!


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,309 ✭✭✭✭wotzgoingon


    Yep that’s the same as my update. Fingers crossed!

    There must be a truck going from Germany to Ireland throughout the night and there would also be more trucks leaving UK to main land Europe so they figured they would send it to Germany to get the overnight run to Ireland. Madness but there must be reasoning to it.

    I used a debit card and its taken it off it, so if you used credit card might not have taken it until shipped.

    What time will Argos stock go live for a reservation?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,624 ✭✭✭quokula


    Any idea when new games go live? I was hoping for some midnight Tetris Effect but looks like it’s not there yet.

    Just an FYI on all the questions about Quick Resume, Jason Ronald has this to say:

    https://twitter.com/jronald/status/1325860948247105536

    Seems like it just affects some of the biggest recent games, which is why people are running into it so much.
