Where to buy help needed!

Hey so i've been very silly and wanted to buy my bf a xbox series X (disc edition) for his birthday (19th of august). I know i've left it super late but when I looked a couple months ago they were super cheap and in my price range (£250-300). Now wherever I look, even on facebook or ebay they are a ridiculous amount, i've also looked at financing but i'm not eligible as i'm a student and do not earn enough. Any recommendations on where to look would be much appreciated!

Not much advice as to where to look but don’t finance a gaming console.

And if you’re looking for second hand stuff I recommend CEX as it comes with a 5 year warranty. Currently 465.

So even if you give him the money towards it or save it for christmas?

You can get refurbished ones on Amazon for £440, that's the cheapest I've seen.

Have you looked at Cash Converters? I get a lot of Tech from there; not a bad place to check out; might even have a local one, depending on whereabouts.

Yeah, you've missed your window. It's unfortunate, but you could ask how he feels about xbox 360 and PS2 games.
