Can't get an Xbox series X anywhere

Post by Nockya »

My kid wants an Xbox series X but can I heck find one.
They have some at inflated prices but the official site says they should be £450 so that's all I'm paying.

Those and ps5s are difficult to get at the minute.

I've been trying since they released in November, and scalpers are still spoiling it for genuine buyers.

This sort of situation goes right back to the days of Nintendo stuff as well and these companies know there is a demand that they can't meet.

Not only that, it'll be 2nd hand and you don't know if they've tampered with it.

It's a bit like ticket touting but that's which way it's always been.

I know I've seen many but I really will not pay more than the RRP.
