    Just to play Devil's Advocate here, where do people stand on adults, we'll say 30 & over, buying the consoles for themselves on day/month one? Arguably they're also affecting kids/families at Christmas? Just curious.


    At least those 30+ guys are buying the console to actually use it and enjoy it.


    Doesn't really compare to some scaldyballs buying as many as he can just to resell them to Pubes'r'Us for a frankly pathetic amount of profit.


    Those 2 consoles will probably sit in whatever dingy CEX he pawned them off to, smelling of stale weedsmoke, until they have to sell them for RRP as "new" in early 2021.

    I think it's safe to assume that people are looking for the Series X all over Ireland.

    I am looking for one in Drogheda


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,840 ✭✭✭djan


    Managed to get sorted for an X so have a spare S that is no longer needed as the Xmas present. Does anyone know if adverts/donedeal are allowing cost price sales again?

    Yup, can't stand that stuff, depriving some poor hard up family at Xmas with his own greed for the sake of a few hundred quid...

    "Happy scalping indeed"

    If they were proper hard-up they'd wait and do a trade up (assuming they've the old one series).

    Also they could get the new series S.

    Hard up... Meh! I'm not stuck for a few bob but my kid can wait and learn to ignore hysteria.

    MOD EDIT: Scalping talk removed. Further posts of this nature will result in a ban.

    MOD WARNING: In addition to selling in this thread, there's to be no scalping of any kind either. This extends to even telling people that you're a scalper, or you're in the process of buying and selling to make a profit. Anything along those lines really. Infringing this policy will result in a forum ban.

    For everyone that's decent, don't engage with scalpers, report the post and we'll ban them ASAP.

    I'll update the note in the first post as well

    so by the mods rules you can use abusive language but only if it's directed at a scalper?

    Absolutely not, I was working through the thread as you posted, but it was more important to deal with the cause of the offensive posts before dealing with the offensive posts.

    If you wish to discuss this more, please PM myself or the other mods here. Do not discuss moderation on thread.

    Picked one up this evening in Harvey Norman in Blanch. Already have one myself so it got for my friend. Just saw a sign advertising it for €569 with a controller and 3 month game pass and said id ask. You cannot but the xBox separately. There was still a few left


  • Registered Users Posts: 45 Braytek


    Well its the 22nd, gamestop sent email on 23rd of November saying ill get one before christmas. No further email, shop hasn't a clue and no response from email I sent 16th

    I understand Covid and now perhaps even Brexit causing supply issue but no communication is what gets me most. If they told me were sorry but supply wasn't as much as they hoped I'd at least know

    What concerns me is read on twitter a while back preorders being all over the place as people who ordered later got them first etc. Take with a pinch of salt it is people on Internet

    Its for me anyway so least its not bad

    Enjoy the Holiday everyone

    Id say all hope lost for an X before Xmas? Was looking to get it for myself for an Xmas present and only decided in last couple of weeks to do so so was always a long shot. Oh well hopefully grab one in early 2021 to get me through the inevitable lockdown!

    Thanks, got today in my local HN shop, but they give me 3 month game pass for pc. Is it possible supposed to be for pc or Xbox?

    Lads, there are 6 left at Harvey Norman Little Island (Cork).
    You need to ask for it, they won't put them out on display.
