No not played anything Spider-Man related. I'm most looking forward to Astrobot to be honest :lol:

How they haven't released DLC for it I will never know. Even if it was just more of the gashapon capsule things. Pulling on the shaft and seeing those filled oversize balls drop was really exciting.

Should I....? How does this £1 ultimate work, can you stack it?

Buy 3 years of XBL Gold.
Buy X amount duration of Game Pass (the less you spend the more value you get out of it. But it's AMAZING value even if you spend tens of pounds on it.)
Activate the Game Pass.
Et voila. You now have 3 years of Game Pass Ultimate.

3 years is the max you can convert in one go.
As of now you can do the trick again when your GPU runs out.

If you're going for max value then check to see if CD Keys/similar have any XBL Gold deals. I picked up 3 years of Turkish XBL codes for about £23 each. (A week later it was down to £20!) You'll need a VPN when entering the Gold codes* and then switch it off when entering/buying the Game Pass. Pish.

*Make yourself familiar with the layout of the English Xbox webpage; you'll find it handy if you have to go to a foreign language version of the site to enter that region's XBL codes.

Apologies if any of that is wrong; I'm sure someone will correct me.

Did you get the SX?

Thanks for the info. I was looking most of the day and it stubbornly stayed in stock, in the end I decided I don't have the time at the moment, I'm moving house soon, so I'll reassess in a few months.

Seeing lots of OLED Switches in stock. (Amazon and GAME at the very least. GAME are doing decently priced - y'know, decently priced for GAME - game bundles as well.)

I remember trying to pick one up on a whim at launch week and being SOL, but I’m not sure it’s had stock supplies after that first wave did it?

My girlfriend got me one for Christmas and that was just a walk-in purchase. Could have just been lucky timing though.

The best 'in stock' offer I have seen for a PS5 has been with about £200 worth of accessories packed in. Anyone have any recommendations of how to try and get hold of one?

Couldn't they cram any more sob stories into their excuses?

the former investment banker turned goods reseller said he was utilising a gap in the supply chain.


A gap that wouldn't exist without these banana splits :x

I'm always on the lookout for somebody to add £300 to the value of an item I wish to buy! :fp:
