Anyone notice if their fan stays running while in standby mode? Mine is, and not sure if that's normal or not? I'll keep an eye on it and see if it ever stops!

Pretty sure mine does too but its at a low level. Not sure how long for but it does stop. Id say its still dissipating heat generated while playing even after you've stopped

Got mine last night. Stayed up till 4am trying out everything. Have to say I'm serious impressed with the console itself, it's very quiet, doesn't heat up much it is however heavy.

Controller... More of the same, I do like the texture at the back of it as opposed to the smooth on the older one. Wish MS did a bit more for the controller, push it more like Sony did.

Dash is snappy, nothing to report about that really. Functional does the job.

Tried a bunch of games, old n new... Raytracing is fantastic, when done right it makes the games look awesome. I'm seriously impressed by loading... It's so quick...no waiting around, done in seconds. Older games smoother and 4k 60fps is great, new lease of life. Game pass etc.. very happy with it and glad I went for it over the ps

It feels like a great PC upgrade!

My ps5 arrived today and 4k 60hrz with HDR working for it but doesn't seem to want to work with Series X... Is this going to be fixed via update?

So you didn't get one? Does having it in your basket not hold it for you until you sort out payment?

Could be your tv, quite a few only support that on one or two inputs.

9 Series X in Claremorris Smyths

Davobbz

This thread is amazing. I'm just refreshing over and over waiting for a series X to pop up in Limerick or Dublin. Today must be restock day for Smyth's is it?

endeval

Someone is scraping sites and booking those out, too fast for random checking - very interested to know who's doing and if reselling

hots

They're actually not going that fast, 20 minutes for some? That's some slow scraping.

Can't get through to Currys at all. I have a gift voucher that can only be used in Currys. Does anyone know if they will have the Xbox?

I have a gift voucher I'm trying to use as well in my local. I got a local number for them and asked could I pay for something over the phone with it and they said no, but you can come into the shop like normal. Then I asked if they have any Xboxes left and they said they sold out their preorders and "aren't getting it back in stock". Like, at all. Very weird. So I'm not bothering checking Curry's anymore.

These things are popping up and are gone in a flash. I'm refreshing away here on the Smyths site and haven't come across 1 X series (for Cork).

Me and another poster managed to see that one anyway so just luck of the draw I'd say.

I don't doubt you. Just a general statement reflecting demand on my part.

Is there bots picking them up?

No, I don't think so. Some sites have them up for minutes, if there was bots they wouldn't last that long.

It's just a reflection of demand really, there's enough people out there to take any that comes up almost immediately.
