    Hello, based on observations in this thread, and considering they reserve until the end of the day after the reservation is made, and considering the Series X was released on Tuesday, I would be checking after midnight tomorrow night.
    Good luck.

    Unless they get a fresh shipment in, then it's anybody's guess.

    Thanks. I'll keep an eye on amazon and Argos.

    Actually not midnight check once stores start closing. Yesterday they had reservations disabled till after 12am.

    Some will pop up here and there for those that were reserved yesterday and expire today, there wont be many. Higher chance tomorrow as more were available for reservation today so more will go back up after stores close tomorrow.

    Series S is available everywhere still some chancers putting them up for 400-450 on Adverts and getting offers.

    I do not recommend the Series S, I would say One X would be a better buy overall and cheaper.

    Really? I thought the internals were essentially the same but the S has the SSD. Watched a video from modern vintage gamer comparing the S to the OG x1(my one) and it was like night and day

    I also haven't bought a physical game in 2 years

    Series S is 512GB so half the storage, you would fill that with 2-3 games. Also I prefer CD drive and the fact that One X can be picked up for around 200 now makes it a better buy.

    If anyone has a spare reservation south of the country (Cork/Kerry ideally) you'd be making me a very happy person indeed. Thanks :)

    There's still an absolute tonne of Series S's in Argos. Every Dublin branch except for 2 have 5+ in stock. There's only 2 other shops in the whole country that have no stock, most have over 5.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,311 ✭✭✭dan786


    Have a code for Sligo and Drogheda if anyones looking

    Edit - Drogheda and Sligo both Gone

    That's really poor advice about the Series S as it's a more powerful console than the One X and tests have shown that.

    Storage can always be expanded and is not a real reason not to buy it.

    For €299 it's some deal.

    Mine's been on adverts since Monday for €220 and not had any interest whatseoever which is strange.
    Well one person wanted to trade a PS4 but that's what you get on adverts.

    Have it up for 250 with sekiro and a brand new 2nd controller

    Fully boxed etc


    Perhaps I have it too dear , will probably adjust the price


    Yes haha I had that guy wanting to swap for a ps4 too

    250 is not bad with two controllers and a game to be honest.
