I should have said there were times I thought it was a master piece. I think if you do get into it, then you really get into it. Also, interested why you suggested playing it offline? The online "community" was one of the best parts in my opinion.

Did offline after I`d completed it first go round with the community

Extra challenge I suppose having to build everything yourself.

Both options are in my opinion equally good

Sunk about 120 hours in to the 1st playthrough getting 100%
 
I've had 5 local Game shops to me as Twitter alerts for about 3 months.
They tend to have 5-10 Xbox units delivered to store every couple of weeks and take a while to sell out from what I can tell.
PS5 is a totally different ball game. Had to use PS5 stock alert on Twitter and nab one as soon as they dropped from some random website. Got there in the end, but I think Christmas is going to be a nightmare for some parents who are not clued up on it.
 
This is incredibly frustrating. Thanks to @ThatFragranceGuy I know have some decent twitter alerts set up. You need to be really quick though. I'm clicking on them and they are all going really really quickly.

I'm definitely going to have to go the "bundle" route. One bundle keeps popping up all the time but I've been put of because it's too expensive and includes a gaming headset and 4 games I don't want. I guess I'll have to take the pain and recoup some of my losses by selling the titles.

The trouble is that all of the silly issues for electronics are related. There is a perfect storm of things like brexit, semiconductor shortages, limited silicon manufacturing capacity, DDR4 ram etc and pc components & games consoles share a lot of these parts.

Some retailers I don’t even bother with (or at least didnt, as I’m talking past tense) eg Dixon’s as their infrastructure is terrible but watch out for game, very etc as you may wait in a queue but if you’re in early enough you’ll get one.

lot of the stock alert sites have discords too which are worth getting in cos you can see people discuss when stock is coming out through insider info

it’s definitely a race and fastest finger wins but I was already ready to pounce when my phone pinged.

for games consoles bundles are def the way to go and you’d probably only lose a few percent on item values in the bundles - sell on marketplace or Shpock to avoid ebay fees

This is going to sound stupid but I genuinely don't know how to set up the discord channels. I've never used it before and can't work out how it works.

Prior to brexit I was getting most of my graphics cards and ps5’s from EU amazon sites. Had a few early this year but was definitely less after jan 1st!

It doesn’t come with a uk plug btw but you just need a kettle lead to plug into the psu, iver on amazon.

I was just going to use an adopter. But good shout on the kettle lead
