Anyone know when both the Ps5 and Xbox are expected to be available to those without preorders 

 

Don't fancy paying £600 online.

They don't now - Stock coming soon. Same with Littlewoods.

 

Game have nothing but Series S - Haven't seen X on Game at all. Tesco - nada. Smyths - Out of stock.

[Lee909]

Argos didn't have any when I tried

[Lee909]

John Lewis just out too

[Allan]

Microsoft themselves are pushing their All Access shit with monthly payments, but point you to Game & Smyths who have fuck all.

[Lee909]

Yeah saw that

Be the same pricks that bought to sell on ebay for over £600 doing it again

[Allan]

The X never appeared on the Game site at all.

 

I'll pick one up for my brother in time, he'll just have to wait a bit longer.

 

The pre-ordering has been a disaster from both PlayStation & Xbox, and as you say, you then have those cunts buying up and trying to sell at ridiculous prices on Ebay - Every single account that is selling above rrp for something that is yet to be released should be shutdown and insta-banned.

Attempted to purchase through Asda 3 times and got fucked off.  Pricks.

Apparently Amazon can't fulfil their pre-orders.

I've seen a number of Tweets from the IGN account saying this, but as far as I can tell, it's just the States (Amazon.com) that are having these delays/problems, at the moment.

[Lee909]

Well that's a cunt

 

They've now told me Im being refunded its out of stock

Now that fucking sucks.

 

Complete a transaction only to be told that they've fucked up afterwards.

Still don't understand how Microsoft and Sony didn't have near enough consoles. 

 

I get the covid issues but they seem so unready.

Too busy giving them away to "celebrities".

[Lee909]

Yeah, the amount of youtube goons with them is a kicker.

Mine is scheduled to arrive today unless there is a final backheel to the bollocks.

[cloggypop]

Not a lot to play on them anyway. Don't mind waiting myself.

No need to get the Series X, just get the S. 

 

Almost identical specs in terms of actual performance on a 4k telly.

I don't think it is, the specs are definitely lower.

Dunno, noticeable?  Have read a few reviews now and the only drawback is the SDD space, but it's plenty for me

If you have a 4K TV, the Series X is the place to go. Although not a huge difference in numbers (3.8GHz on X compared to 3.6GHz on S, 16GB RAM on X, 10GB RAM on S) it's the GPU where the real differences are - the X boasts 52 Compute Units running at 1.823GHz compared to 20 Compute Units running at 1.565GHz.

 

In other words, 4K HDR on the X is a doddle. On the S, it will struggle badly. If you have an older TV set that's not 4K, you're not going to use the X's grunt.
