New Lockdown - TIer 5 for all

Presuming you all saw this, I'm of the opinion it is needed and I think school's closing though painful was needed given the risk it posed. Hopefully this time will be a bit easier mentally as many of us now have support bubbles, plus there are some services still open that were not last time - Garden Centres/Recycling - so there is a little more to do.

I'm sorry if you're affected work wise, I didn't see any changes to the furlough scheme which is still running until April 2021 so if you are sent home now do please direct your employer here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-for-wage-costs-through-the-coronavirus-job-retention-scheme

They might be just doing. Previously pre-ordered consoles first.
Keep checking this daily. I've found a couple of friends Series S consoles using this with random restocks

DD gave me that link, I set up alerts on my phone and email and Amazon came through for me. Even delivered it a week early!

I saw a message on another forum that Argos do have stock but its store by store, maybe give a few a call?

What was it full of mate? 

Merry Christmas!

I have been looking for one for my lad, what are peoples honest opinions?

I got a Series S in the end, I'm very happy 

If you are fully 4k ready, then the Series X is the one to get. Its a very powerful console. As my TV (and Surround Sound) really needs upgrading to 4k I went with the Series S.

I also got Gamepass Ultimate - I loaded my Xbox Live to run for 3 years (about £80), and then used the 'Gamepass for a £1' option so I have full service inc EA Play until 2024

The only niggle so far was as it doesn't have a disc drive I had to buy a couple of games digitally but I got them on sale so not too bad. I did also buy a 1tb SSD to put games on.

Overall, yeah I'm pleased though Id imagine in a couple of years I'll do a full 4k upgrade but this is fine for now.

I don't think they can produce them as fast as the series X. Series x seems to be very fast to tear down in videos compared to the ps5. Then on top of that scalpers using bots are buying stock out from everywhere.

Merry Christmas. Hope your all well and have a great day as much you all can
