Hoping for help from the experts, for my 28 yo avid gaming son. I'd posted into another thread, but this might be more noticeable.

His seven year old Xbox died last night, and he's looking for an Xbox Series X. Seems to be a dearth in Australia. We're in Adelaide. The eBay ones are about $300 more than anywhere else, so $1200+.

Is it worth waiting for EFY and more stock? We've checked all the usual shops- JB, GG, Big W, etc. and there's no stock.

Grateful for any suggestions.

    Thanks, but maybe I've put the wrong number in. It's the Xbox series X, the new one, for $749.

      Right, the Series X makes more sense, well you'll be looking for one among thousands of others too. Stock is constrained due to low silicon chip production.

    Yes, sorry to not be clear enough. Maybe they should try using Germanium 😊

    We were hoping for an OZB miracle!

    Any ideas when there will be any new stock?

    Changed title to make it accurate.

    I hope I'm not having to do this for my son when he's 28.

    Indeed! Fear not. He'd been doing his own research, and reached the same conclusion as Hybroid. I just offered to check here as well, knowing what a helpful and nonjudgemental community this is.

      You do know you have posted on OZB right 🤪

      Click reply to the comments you are replying to bro.

      Series X is in very short supply, people are paying $900+ for used ones. You could get a series S for now and buy a series x later when they are in stock.

    You're better off just looking at OzB every 10-15m like us real addicts. I've bought two quite easily; PS5s sell out quicker.
    They usually have stock mid week and during the middle of the day. You could setup an alert but not sure how quick they are to send.

    Don't pay more than RRP. Just play the waiting game. Your son has been waiting 6 months already, what's a couple more weeks?

      It only broke earlier this week, but cheers.

    Just noticed Target have them in stock for online orders

    Well that's another Xbox gone begging.

  • Sutra on 24/05/2021 - 20:01

    I have seen Xbox series x going for $800 on Facebook before (Adelaide CBD).

    Please don't buy from a scalper but you may be able to haggle to mrsp if the listing has been for a long time. It seems, compared to PS5 no many people are hunting for the series X

    Thanks for the advice.
