forameus Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 CEX are usually a good option for picking up a cheaper game on a whim, but that's pretty shit behaviour from them. You'd expect some wee scalper VL to do it, but you'd think a high street store would want to be a wee bit less obvious than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 They are thieving b*****ds. I bought two Xbox controller from them last year, neither of them worked and he refused to refund me. Instead giving me store credit. Why the f**k would I want credit for a shop that sells things that I already know doesn’t work? I wanted to punch the smug fat specky ginger VL in the coupon. The one shop I would be happy to see go under due to the pandemic.Yesterday was actually my second attempt to get my joycon drift fixed cause they replaced the wrong controller the first time around.Can’t work out if the staff are actively rude or just extremely socially awkward. I think it’s the latter. It’s exclusively run by Kerrang! casualties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonHMFC Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Series X due to arrive tomorrow, had ordered it with Game on the 24th November, originally stated it would arrive Christmas Eve, but just had the dispatch notification. Going to get Assassins Creed, debating Cyber Punk, but will probably leave it until it is running a bit smoother. Does feel at the moment it's a next gen console without many next gen games. Happy to be getting it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Gary Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Pretty sure I seen the CeX email to all their employees doing the rounds - "tell them it's still the cheapest they'll get a ps5 any time soon" or something along those lines. Horrible company. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphex Electronics Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I personally think that PS5 is better as it has more games and with the new upgrades the loading times for games is a about twice as fast as the X-Box Series X. PS5 also has more games compared the X-box (and the games on the PS5 is better). alphexelectronics.godaddysites.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Any indication on when stock will likely arrive? Due to my location I am not likely to get one until stock is plenty online. I see you can get them on ebay for about 800, but I am not that desperate. However I did sell my PS4 Pro for someone's Xmas in the anticipation of having a PS5. So now instead of exploding bears in Red Dead I am cleaning my fridge and oven etc for things to do. Can someone tell me when my nightmare will end? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 My mate came through for us right after Christmas and got an Xbox Series X to us before New Year. It really is just a big upgrade on the Xbox One right down to the menus being the same. I can't complain tho as the UI is/ was great and everything is running far smoother and looks a lot better. I didn't realise how much my Xbone was done until I loaded up Warzone and realised I didn't have to wait for parts of the map to load in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANTAN Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I like my PS5 a lot so far but no scuff controllers and no BBC Iplayer is souring my feels, so to speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I'm the dopey c**t who started redownloading all my games on to the Series X not realising I could just plug the external HDD I had for my Xbone and have them magically appear. At least I realised this before I attempted to put the Halo MCC and Gears Tactics on the new console. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the same, but after getting the Series X, I downloaded my previous games, but of course they were the Xbox One version. Didn't see much difference in the games. Then I realised there was additional to download for the Series X. As you say, nothing too major has changed, but the speed is ridiculous. I have also played quite a few games on my phone. Definitely going to get a Bluetooth controller at some stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Game just rattled through a load of Xboxs yesterday. Dunno about PS5. It's an xbox I'll be getting the ps5 is just too big and hideous for similar power, I tried to pre order on game today but wouldn't let me unfortunately. Will just need to keep an eye open. I see scalpers prices are falling but there is no way I'd pay more than RRP for the sheer principle of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 It's a bit of a farce that we're now into mid-January and the majority of people who want to purchase a PS5 or Xbox can't get one due to stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did indeed, I've got a link for a chat on telegram that sends a message out whenever there is stock of PS5s of series X if you want a link? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
