Have been looking out for an Xbox x or a PlayStation 5 , there have been a few online but go straight away.Retailers often launch them online during late mornings or early evening. I have been unlucky each time as don’t have time to check facebook groups all day. I even added the xbox to wishlist but no notification from the warehouse so missed out again. What the chances of Xbox’s X or PS5 been in stock before Christmas?. I have contacted many retailers and can’t even get on a waiting list and restocks world wide are low. Is it worth spending a bit more via places like Chriscoes to order one or hopefully get lucky with an online order from another retailer?

The stock was sufficient before lockdown, I believe after the lockdown you should be able to get it easily

I’d disagree with @rmaonz and say the stock was poor before lockdown and has been since launch. Hence the mad dash whenever either model gets listed at any retailer, and the big waiting lists at retailers here of people waiting to get a unit. There’s a forum post on this site that basically says stock is in short supply. “NZ Ps5 & Xbox restock” is the Facebook group
There’s a Facebook group “ps5 and Xbox restock” or something along hose lines that alerts members when stock comes in at retailers. There’s also a a Twitter account as well that does the same “NZRestockAlerts”.

hope those help

No it wasn't, and probably won't be until next year sometime by which point there would probably be a revised model of each anyway.

I’ve just joined the group but missed out on Friday night the Xbox sold out in less than a min. The site suggested a Twitter Bot that looks at stock changes so fingers crossed can get one sometime this side of Christmas:)

I was searching from July - Oct - and missed out numerous times.

The game-changer was the twitter account “NZRestockAlerts” (turn notifications on) as it seems to be faster than the FB Groups - and I happened to be awake for a random drop from NL at 1am one Friday night.

Good luck!
