Get in quickly - I was in store inquiring about stock and Broadmeadows, VIC have just received 24 today, with 4 already gone. Managed to pick one up!!
Update Dec 8 10:12am: Reported to be available at these NSW stores:
Update Dec 9 2:02pm: Reported to be available at:
A very small percentage believe its not a deal as its RRP vs the rest of us that agree it's not a deal but we also appreciate the OP posting it as the consoles near impossible to get except from eBay at 2 to 3 times the price so RRP is a bargain. Sure it could go in the forums however it would likely get missed by those that want it.
Yes a "minority" of people come to a bargain site for bargains and then don't like being alerted to rrp being passed off as a bargain. You want stock alerts go to the forums, reddit or discord, the purpose of the site is pretty clear, its even spelt out in the title and the url.
I think it depends on the importance of a product. I get that this is RRP but it is really hard to get without paying a premium. Considering the wait time for preorders, or even the limited ability to put your name down for a preorder. Letting people know it’s in stock at a price cheaper than you could normally find it I think should be allowed.
@username1: I'm not saying there's not value in some system of alerting people of stock for hard to get items. I just don't think it should be called a deal and part of things that people who are after deals, have subscribed to and come to the this site for.
In the absence of the site admins doing something to address this (which they could and incorporate into this awesome site properly) my view is that there are better places for stock alerts, that being forums (where there are already dedicated threads), reddit or discord. The last two of which have helped more people get new gen graphics cards for example, then OzBargain has so those other sources are also better at it.
I don't understand buying the console the minute it comes out because from past experience it usually takes months for updates to come to fix all the bugs from day 1 as everyone knows all new console and phones etc will have bugs that need to be fixed
because cyberpunk 2077 in HDR ray tracing thats why lol
In my experience buying products on release is 99% fine. Sometimes there might be some minor annoyances or bugs but anything major gets fixed quickly anyway.
Nothing ever bad or annoying that it would deter me from getting it over waiting.
Have they fixed the Bricking of them with Cold War yet?
god dammit
Thanks to OP for providing the stock alert. Whatever about the Ozbargain vs OzRRP debate, there's value in these alerts for the community and not all value is measured in $$$. It personally meant I could pick up an Xbox for my kids' present that otherwise I wouldn't have known was now (briefly) available. Happy Christmas one and all.
Thx Op, managed to still grab one at 5:30pm.
141 clickers so far don't understand what the word bargain in ozbargain means.
Here's a reminder.
A bargain in this instance is defined as something on sale at a lower price than its true value.
Helpful examples:
This coat was half-price - a real bargain.
The airline regularly offers last-minute bookings at bargain prices.
The sales had started and the bargain hunters (= people looking for things at a low price) were out in force.
Considering the above, this post is not a bargain.
Think before you up vote. Thank you.
The irony of your post. If you wanted to buy a Series X today before this post, what was your best option, $1,000+ on ebay?
Helpful example:
The xbox I bought today for $749 was a real bargain compared to $1,000+
Considering the above, this post is a bargain.
Think before you post. Thank you.

I just got mine from JB Prahran VIC, they have 3 more in stock as well (as of 12pm).
Just got one from JB on Bell St in Preston
They took my name from over the phone and called me to tell me that had one for me, so it's worth doing a ring around
Preston has 6, Doncaster has 1 as of this posting
How do you get to know how many they have? Do the staff there give you inside Info as well?
No, I called every store in se melb lol.
Daughters 16th in 2 days so ran around like a headless chook chasing 1 down.
OzB has helped me out many times over the years so Thoughr I'd pay it back with the info on the spare consoles i had found.
Quite a few stores were also expecting further deliveries this week but were unsure on exact days.
Glad you got one, cheers
Thanks for this, I picked up the one in Doncaster last night
No prob, i grabbed the second last 1.
Glad I could help
JB Camberwell guy said some stores got more than what they preordered so they are selling them off.
Some stores, including Camberwell, got less than what they preordered :/
Anyway, called pretty much all the eastern suburb branches but no dice. told they might get something before christmas

No holds, managed to pick one up from Doncaster early today, and canceled my Telstra pre order.
Thanks for posting.
TA. Picked up one from Doncaster. looks like they are instructed not to respond for any stock questions due to scalpers.
Did somebody say PS5 for the same price??
My local store had PS5 Digital edition in stock too. Didn't sound like a huge amount but a few. Might be worth checking with your local stores.
I picked up a Xbox Series X from JB Hi-Fi in Westfields, Bondi Junction this morning. Just enquired as I was there to pick up Cyberpunk 2077 and they said they had some in stock, not sure on how many though.

Picked up an Xbox series x this afternoon at Jb hi-fi Booragoon, said they had received stock today.
Thank you very much OP, managed to pick one up from JB Hi-fi Chermside, Brisbane today. thank you.
Hi guys, I just made the original post, but please thanks the mods / people behind the scene who work hard to continue to update the title and post with information :)
If your kids don't find a Xbox Series X or PS5 (preferably both) at the bottom of the tree on Xmas day then you've failed as a parent.
Now CEX has a trade value of $850 cash for these… should I???
JB Hi-fi Kedron in Brisbane has stock today, just picked one up. Indooroopilly said they weren't aware of any stock coming in.
Anyone found stock in SA? Thinking of making a switch from PS4 to X.
🤣🤣🤣
I spose I can wait
Any updates on this? I keep looking also but I keep finding inflexible people on gumtree.
3 JB stores in WA had stock of Xbox series X as of this moment. Joondalup, Clarkson(Ocean Keys) and Malaga. Call your local to check. I know each store had around 10 but it isn't common knowledge…
Sorry I know most people won't see this here and I hope somebody gets one to make their Christmas special…but I just can't be bothered with the haters crying "this isn't a deal" etc
Thanks for this post legends. Had given up on finding one and this one prodded me to ask my local JB Hifi Kedron and yep, you beauty they had some in stock.
Thanks heaps for the post, going to try to find one today.
Got one at Chadstone JB Hifi last night
VIC
Forrest Hill Chase had 1 in stock at 3:00PM
Knox - didn't tell me count but had few in stock
About 8 left in stock at jbhifi camberwell.
Picked one up on closing today.
No holds, one per person.
I picked the last one yesterday
5 left in Mt Druitt. Only for walk in.
Hey y'all, for anyone in WA and keen to do a trip, jbhifi Bunbury have spare stock. Was in the region for work and called them off chance.
They won't hold or lay by, first come first served. They wouldn't disclose how many they had spare but seemed to infer they had a couple spare at least.
The COC in Fyshwick ACT had some in stock this weekend (one less now) - the sales guy confided that they had received 50 in total, for only 20 pre-orders.
Why are people negging these deals for?
