Spelunky you can unlock permanent shortcuts too. So not even that.

Nice one, now you can cancel your GAME preorder. Not sure if you knew, but GAME charge £10 for delivery even if you collect in store.

Sure, but with a name like that it deserves an honourary mention.

You forgot Scat. Who doesn't like a good bit of Scat?

They will restock them at a few places I imagine. If I were you I'd just wait for Amazon as most other retailers have proven they can't be trusted at one point or another when it comes to console launches. If you remember with the Switch, a load of companies (like GAME, Nintendo store, ShopTo) all used DPD which caused a bottleneck and a lot of people didn't get their preorders at launch. Hopefully we won't see that again but at least Amazon have got their own delivery network.

Hey, not my fault you called them bucks.

Note that GAME charge a tenner for delivery now, even if you pick up from store. I would avoid those chumps like the plague.

I don't know, but Microsoft also recently tweeted with a dig about how their preorders were going to go smoothly. It would seem that their preorders were just as messed up...

No, you would need the Series X.

Again we will have to disagree on this but generally I think this country has done a poor job in educating people about the dangers of the credit mindset, and explains why a lot of people are in debt. The example you gave about feeling better about £29 a month more or less sums up the way a lot of people can look at the smaller number without doing the maths to see they're paying an extortionate amount more with credit (not saying you are that person, clearly you understand it, but that "live for the moment" way of thinking is common). For some things credit is absolutely vital (e.g. mortgages) or for people who literally can't get by otherwise, but I do think for a luxury purchase like a games console then some level of criticism is valid.

I think regarding the bolded bit, again I'd say this is down to a fairly common perception of credit rather than the reality that £700 has been committed to a purchase up front, regardless of how long the payment period is. If anything people should really feel they need to get more use out of the console if you use credit because you're paying £165 more overall. Not slamming credit for people who actually need it, but for a games console it feels fair to level some criticism at this pricing.

You have to wonder, would some of the people who made this mistake even know they got the wrong console. A lot of the games run on both X1 and Series consoles.

Yeah, I guess my point was that if you have reasonable savings it makes no sense to go All Access (the £29 a month is merely perception; the second you sign up for it you really are paying 700 quid). For people who would not be able to afford other things by spending £530 in one go, I totally understand why this would appeal, but just wanted to put out this information for people that might be otherwise unaware.

Including the random freezing in Majora's Mask I hope, eradicating all progress since the last time the song of time was played!
