Anyone managed to secure one?
I've looked bloody everywhere. No joy so far.
Any suggestions?
They have some in Germany, but I want to get a UK model ideally.

You may very well be out of luck until next year since both PS5 and XSX are being scalped to hell and back. Botnets are ordering/preordering them as soon as they're available, faster than humans could. That's why you can easily find them on eBay at three times their MSRP: if you really want one, support scammers and potentially be scammed, that's probably your only option for now. No physical stock will be available either, thank COVID-19 for the online-only model this year. But anything might happen yet and there should be more stock in their way before Xmas, so don't lose hope. As for German/UK models: they're exactly the same system. Major consumer products haven't been affected by PAL/SECAM/NTSC/whatever standards for the last 15 years, they'll work identically and can be set up on any language. You might need a different power cord or outlet adapter but the PSU will be compatible regardless, no need for converters at all. |

Yeah, if anyone does want to consider a European one, you just need a figure of 8 plug to put in the brick. |
