But you need it
I need a food.
Forget food, what kind of a gamer are you bro
You need a clue.
It's now been over 6 months since it's been released. Surely there's not still massive stock shortages? How many people are wanting to buy at RRP..
Yep worse releases in gaming hardware.
At least retailers haven’t jacked up prices on consoles. Whereas RTX 3080 is still not in stock anywhere after over 6 months and most retailers have 30% mark up on RRP.
Still massive stock shortages. Some people sold their existing consoles (PS4 Pro, XBox One X etc…), old games and accessories. So the out of pocket cost could be $50-$100 (or less). I saw multiple people walked out of my local EB game store with $900+ worth of EB world credit gift card each last year (with the console trade in deals). Normally, you get those cards after you paid off the console and you still have credits. I only managed ~$80 after paying off the consoles (and I paid $150 deposit for both PS5 and Series X). Anyway, it was a good deal for people with previous gen consoles.
Plenty, hence the stock shortages…
You'd think so.. I'm 5 weeks into my Telstra order and still waiting.
Can someone explain why there's no crazy panic to buy these, yet when it's PS5, people are willing to trade their familes for a console? Is it due to the PS5 only exclusives/controller or something?
Those 5 games released for the PS5 must be good lol
Real talk though, Astro's Playroom is pretty amazing.
I'm sure it's many things, especially the fact that there are more Sony's out there so it makes more sense for people to buy the console that most of their friends/relatives own.
Stock is a lot better for the Series X than the PS5.
And people are still quite keen on the Series X, still clearing 100 votes for RRP even yesterday.

The PlayStation market is literally two to three times bigger then Xbox.
Some people find it hard to switch brands. Apple, Sony, etc. no matter how good the competition might be.
Gamepass is a very compelling reason to go Xbox IMHO.
Yep, I swapped this generation because of Gamepass. I picked up an XSX before Christmas on the Telstra plan and I've been loving it. Haven't bought any games and completed about 5, played maybe 20+. I really hated the concept of a subscription service for games at first but I'm loving it. Also helps that I'm a PC person too so it covers both my platforms. PC for FPS & strategy, console for platformers, co-op, arcade games, etc.
I'll still probably end up caving and buying a PS5 because I love FromSoft games too much and they'll end up releasing Bloodborne 2 or something on PS5 but I'm safe from that for the time being since they're still working on Elden Ring which is multiplatform.
Couldn't agree more.
I resisted gamepass because I disliked the subscription but paid for xbox live lol.
Anyway, got the 3 yearly xbox live cards from the ozb deal at $50 a piece and ended up with 3 years of gamepass for $150. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
I have a pc and every gen of ps and xbox among others but struggling to find any reason to get a ps5 this gen.
I'm sure that will change when they come down to $399 but I'm in no rush for either console at the moment.
There is a panic, ps5 will always appeal to the general masses to a greater extent though. But this gen is definitely a good one for xbox with gamepass. Swingers like myself are hitting it pretty hard..
ps5 is about 4 times more popular
same stock levelsStats to back that up or just another fanboi?
general knowledge pal, and I have xbox :)
@Spendmore: https://gamingintel.com/ps5-vs-xbox-series-stock-how-many-ne…
and in case you need a summary- 114 mil - ps4 sold -
less then 50 mil x box ones……
so ps4 sold double the x box one units to date@botchie: Sales figures very close no where near 4 times in favour of PS5?
Why the irrelevant summary on last gen?@Spendmore: Shortage supply pal, if they were both readily available ps5 would easily outsell X bone
@botchie: You said it was 4x more popular without giving any proof, the stats you provided showed sales were close. So where's this 4x coming from? Last gen?
@Spendmore: total number of consoles in circulation (all gen), don't take 4 times as accurate , more then double is sufficient
@botchie: But you specifically said PS5 is 4x more popular.
I don't think you will see that gap this time.
The article you linked to predicts the gap to close with current gen.@Spendmore: dont see why it would change , consoles are very similar , xbox hasn't done anything too revolutionary to take ps gamers, you would think all those 115 mil ps4 guys will upgrade to ps5 eventually when more games are out…..
who know what will happen in few years, all Sony needs is few really good exclusives to keep the hold
Im pretty sure if they are both readily available that more ppl will go for ps5, even scalped prices are higher for ps5 vs xbox@botchie: Look at wiiu sales vs switch or xb360 vs PS4 things always change and this gen Microsoft has a compelling argument for change.
Just grabbed one, guessing the bots must be asleep or perhaps there is more stock around nowadays
Don't think Xbox is worth to scalpers anymore
Yeah there's been a lot selling for around the $900 - $950 mark on eBay still but just a couple of weeks back it was more $1000 minimum unless you jagged a bargain so good to see those prices falling too, hopefully with this fresh wave of stock these sellers on eBay will have to be even closer to RRP
It is because is click and collect. People are lazy to drive around.
$11.95 delivery to Tas. Delivery est 31st March.
Thanks OP!
Just grabbed 20, time to mine with those.
You're so hot right now
Thanks
Stock at Pacific Fair Qld now
I guess scalpers have moved on. Plenty in stock!!!
Thankyou, just picked one up for delivery $22 to melb. Reward gateway have 8% off EB games up to $500, and had to use* zip pay for the rest - it wasn't accepting any other payment methods.
Delivery oos
I have one of these with game pass ultimate (which includes EAs catalogue), it's incredible value by comparison to just buying games (now that i'm older and cbf) and will get better with M$ buying Zenimax (Bethesda, etc) - using it with a LG CX 55 :D
rip me
Well this is embarrassing.
It seems that the team at Logan Central couldn’t find one or more of your items. Please view your order to see your options.You should be able to get EB to deliver it to you from another store, got this email before and that's what the outcome was
changed to another store, got the same email back and now no stock :/
Was that when you went "view order"? If so, they automatically assigned a store with stock for me I didn't change anything
Damn :/
You can't blame scalpers only wanting PS5 's .
No one want s to be caught out with this :)Only because you can't scalp gamepass
Gamepass costs $1 if you know how to play the system.
Frickin love gamepass
Can't seem to find any trade in deals.
Does anyone know how much credit will EB give towards trade in of an original Xbox One 1TB?
Thanks!
I just called the local EB - they are having a promo where if you traded in Xbox One S (I'm guessing 500GB) together with a single game (doesn't matter what apparently), you get the Series S for $329. [edit] It's showing on the EBGames site carousel now [/edit].
They don't know how it stacks with your EB levels, but it's one way to go.It's a poor trade in value, but YMMV. Considering I bought mine for $299 4+ years ago, it's good enough for me.
I booked mine anyway for pickup.
So they are giving $170 for a used Xbox One S and a game. Talk about being ripped off.
This is the same EB Games which are listing preowned Xbox One S 500GB for $328. That's more than what they were going for brand new a few years ago.
Not sure if it's a big deal or not but the Series S has been available at Amazon for a while.

There seems to have stock everywhere for past 3 weeks that I saw.
No one is getting that over XIt seems more aimed at lower income families, which isn't a bad thing i guess. Still does 1080p
No it's not aimed at low income families 🙄
@Spendmore: I know the advertising i've seen has been around it being more accessible for families (i.e. dad playing with child) whereas the series x seems more premium and is typically just about cool graphics and game pass. Maybe lower income is not the right term, but is definitely aimed at the lower end/entry level end of the market, similar to the iphone handset differences.
I'm still seeing stock available for pick up at NSW stores and other states as well.
Thanks guys I got one to pick up today from Marrickville. Ordered at 10.40 ready to collect already.
There seems to be a few still available at a few regional locations
