And to think I ordered from MS as I thought it would be the most hassle free option! Oh well, at least it appears we got it sorted... Hopefully they will arrive on the 10th but as long as I get one I'm happy.

All the US orders shipped out by FedEx are marked to be delivered on the launch date, so I really can't imagine it wouldn't be the same for us in the UK.

Still no payment taken but order still says launch delivery. Hopefully it arrives on launch as my out of office is now set for next week.

I had wondered if UK lockdown might allow stores to free up in store physical stock for online orders but still no sign of being able to get an order in

 

[crazy8s]

Would expect them to be available for C&C on launch

Ended up buying the plug in Seagate NVME drive, £220 definitely feels like im getting bent over but the simplicity of it and the 'shiny new things' got the best of me.

Not sure it really warranted a separate review but for anyone interested:

Going to wait for a bigger size, just for extra bending over

reading reviews of the Sabrent NVME enclosure, apparently it doesn’t work with MACs when it should do (not an issue for me) and a the controller isn’t great...

They've always sent everything via UPS here. Apart from that, I'd expect it to run in exactly the same way.

This must be wrong surely? Smyth's have sent further email saying they will deliver tomorrow

Great news for those of you who ordered from there then!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

You’ve all lucked out if that’s the case! Maybe trying to make up for their shoddy order process or to furlough their staff sooner.

 

[Mark1989]

I cant see it being right, maybe automated email, Id expect DPD will be told to hold them

 

[KentMan]

Any ideas when the series X all access deal for £29 per month will be available again? Im guessing post xmas at this rate?

 

[TonyTurbo78]

thanks for the info here. Just done the same and now have pending payment on my account. What a nightmare. Best had come on release day due to preordered on first day they released them.

You're welcome, that's what forums are for right, helping and discussing.

I've just received an email saying I'll receive my Xbox Series S tomorrow too - along with confirmation of the Xbox All Access payments.

It's supposed to be a Christmas present for myself but surely I have to take advantage of the early delivery?

 

[EMarkM]

Well, at the very least, you need to “check it’s working”.

And, of course, not starting to use it straightaway is wasting the warranty...

 

[crazy8s]

Maybe we should contact Currys saying Smyths are sending consoles out early so they should too

 

[Mark1989]

New sofa day for the Mrs and maybe new xbox day for me (Still not convinced we will get it early)

 

[McBain]

Doubt ill be seeing my X early, direct from MS

 

[Goodie]

Anyone who had a series x from smyth on AA heard anything at all? My order says processing on the site and CS confirmed I’m in line to receive at launch but not heard anything since I placed the order

 

[Trifid]

Ok, so Microsoft emailed saying it was still failing to take payment and I need to change my card (was fine with a payment a couple of months ago). Payment has now been taken instantly.

Same here "in progress" since the 24/09 and no further contact
