Anyone who ordered from Argos heard anything? Did they take full payment when pre-ordering?

I pre-ordered a Series S and they took full payment straight away.

I have the Logitech keyboard mentioned, happy to give it a test for you when I receive my Series X. I might just need a gentle reminder via Trust though.

Guys, my daughter play roblox, and this is available on xbox, if she was typing messages to complete stuff, and to chat with her cousins, is there a specific type of keyboard or wireless keyboard one would need to function with an x box series x?
Preferably wireless I think.
Do these devices use normal usb connectors?

I use a bog standard USB Mechanical keyboard and Steel Series mouse on the one x (for COD and Metro), works absolutely fine, the hardest part is getting comfortable with it on your lap.

I keep forgetting they are allowing mouse and keyboard on console now.

Seems wrong to me - for mp at least

You always get the option of playing only with pad users.

Yeah, Apex Legends has started crossplay with PC/XB/PS users and it filters in people using pads only. I guess in the same way it would group kb+m users together. You can opt out of it totally if you want it's just the lobby takes longer to fill up especially in ranked.

The option to use a k&m with crossplay in first person games would probably save me the best part of 2k on a new PC.

Theres quite a lot of dodgy 'pad' players in core TDM on modern warfare at the moment.

Really want the consoles to make more effort this coming gen to stamp out XIM type devices in online play.

Also - modern warfare puts you in predominantly pad player lobbies when using mouse and keyboard on PS4.

I tried it earlier today to see what the SBMM did as I am seeing more and more lobbies with mouse users being matched against pad players (crossplay off btw). Admittedly I reckon that may be different on a weekend when more players are online but today I was the only mouse player in a pad lobby several maps in a row.

Couldn't do anything though as I didn't plug a keyboard in - I just kept getting kicked for inactivity!

Anyone that hasn't been able to pre-order an Xbox Series X need a code from Currys? I've got a spare.

Id be very grateful if you could pm me that code if you still have it mate

Edit.. Does the code enable me to pre order? I'm a bit confused

 

[Kimi]

Very generous with the spare code.

If anyone else has a series x code I'd love one lol

Hopefully Microsoft release some more consoles soon. The demand is huge so I'm sure they will

The code is the pre-order deposit code to order from Currys. You have until Sunday to redeem, and all I'm asking is that you transfer £5 over to my bank account via Trust as that's what it cost for me to place the deposit. I'd let it lapse but it's a non-refundable deposit and I placed two orders because I initially used the early "glitch" on the Currys pre-order that went live a few weeks ago. The code guarantees you an order of the Xbox Series X on the Currys site The £5 gets taken off of the full amount of the console, making it £444. Oh, minus the other £2000 that the code takes off the console, lol!

Yes, it's rather complicated. Currys really have set up a weird pre-order system.

 

[Jimbo]

Pm me bank details and ill sort for you. Cheers.

 

[crazy8s]

Those codes are finding their way onto eBay, some in excess of £90 :/

Pm sent and payment sent mate

Starting to wish I'd not snoozed on it, still not had my preorder code.
