BigW got a drop of Xbox Series X consoles in store last night in Queensland. This is not an online sale and requires you to phone ahead and layby for pickup or go in-store.

I just picked one up from Big W Garden City in last 30 minutes. They got 5, Chermside 5, Northlakes got 3 or 4, Springfield Lakes and a bunch of other BigW stores picked up small quantities. Not sure about Gold Coast, but the sales person checked the computer and seemed to suggest there was a number of stores who had picked up stock.

Note my source also suggested they were in other non-lockdown states as well, but I can't confirm if that's true or not

Happy Hunting

      Surprisingly not. I got a tip-off on whirlpool and they had to go out back for 15 minutes to look for them. I had one on hold at Northlakes, but ending up going to Garden City as it's closer. I just cancelled my layby at Northlakes 2 minutes ago so someone else could get. Both should still be there.

      Phone ahead and layby. Is it really that hard to grasp mate? I called and they had in Northlakes, and then did a layby, then realised i should probably check other closer stores first. Once the closer store had more stock, i let go of my layby at Northlakes (30 minutes ago)

      There is quite a bit of stock filtering in this way, as I was in JB Hifi at Macarthur in Brisbane on Friday last week and they had PS5 digital in stock, and the games department guy said the city centre stores all got 50 disc PS5s each which sold out in a few days. I guess it's a fairer system than online where the bots are sweeping them up.

      Looking at your previous comments on other posts, you have bought dozens of these all in the name of scalping and making profits. Be better man.

    • BooYa on 28/08/2021 - 22:57

      Reminds me of the people buying up baby formula all over Australia to send to China at a huge profit (around $50 a tin I think).

      There is great demand for Australian baby formula because the ones made in China have killed several babies.

      So I understand why people in China would pay a big premium for Australian bby formula, trouble is parents in Australia had trouble getting baby formula for their own kids (because these people would just swoop in and grab all the stock).

      In the end it got so bad that baby formula had to be limited on a per customer basis, and kept behind the counter at pharmacies.

      It takes a special type of greed to buy all the baby formula you don't need, and not leave one or two for those who need it.

      Xbox is different, because it's not an essential product, but not only doing this but also posting about it, tells me these people are proud of what they're doing, which is pretty sad really.

  • Willco88 on 26/08/2021 - 18:05

    Rang my local in SA they got no idea what I'm talking about

    • KRM123 on 26/08/2021 - 18:08

      Did you ask them to check stock on the computer for other stores?

      Not all stores in Brisbane have received stock, but it was showing on their computer which stores did. The tech department at both Garden City and Northlakes didn't know they had received, even after the front-of-house person on the phone confirmed. They then confirmed they had stock once they located it in the warehouse at their unloading zone.

      • Willco88 on 26/08/2021 - 18:09

        They basically laughed at me

        • KRM123 on 26/08/2021 - 18:13

          As did the Brisbane stores, until they realised they had received it last night and were in fact wrong.

          There are two Xbox series X stock finder pages on twitter, and one of them posted earlier this week that a large order of Xbox Series Xs had entered the country this week and was expected to filter into stores later this week. They didn't know which States or Stores, and I wouldn't be surprised to see other stores get later this week or next week as it filters through.

          • Willco88 on 26/08/2021 - 18:22

            @KRM123: Nothing in SA rang 3 stores

            • KRM123 on 26/08/2021 - 18:24

              @Willco88: Fair enough. They can check all the stores from their 1 computer to save you having to ring around.

    God it’s good to be a QLDer. Freedom to go to a restaurant or a bar hang out in the park with friends, AND we get stock of Xbox’s so we can just lock ourselves away at home by choice playing games while those in the southern states sit at home playing their heavily worn out Monopoly and Risk board games.

        Well it might, but so far every time we’ve had community transmission, including of delta, our CHO put us all into a proper hard lockdown and we got on top of it quickly and back to freedom.

        Watching the NSW outbreak from the beginning I couldn’t understand why they bothered calling it a lockdown when it wasn’t even remotely a lockdown and it led to 1000 daily cases.

        I would have been confident saying QLD would get through this without a NSW situation but given Victoria has also been very good at proper hard lockdowns and then getting back out yet now they’re struggling to contain it, QLD’s turn may come but we’re putting up a decent fight so far.

    • KRM123 on 26/08/2021 - 20:32

      Thanks for the update. Strange they would need to check if they are allowed to sell products. I think if you went into the store you could probably talk them into it by telling them all other stores have been selling them today.

      • ThanksOzB on 26/08/2021 - 20:55

        I said that other stores sold them to phone enquiries and he checked with the store manager and was told the previous message.

          They weren't doing the sale over the phone . Just taking your name and putting it to an xbox and then doing a layby.

          Was then told I had to pick it up by end of the day or it would go back to stock.

          I reckon if you turned up at morayfield store first thing tomorrow you'd get one of their 5.
