Finding where to buy the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S in the U.K. hasn't been easy this May as there have been rather sporadic and limited Xbox Series X restocks. 

A few retailers did briefly take orders last week but this fresh stock sold out in minutes, proving once again that demand is still outstripping supply. To help you out in what way we can, we've collated a selection of alternative retailers that could have Xbox Series X stock.

Take a look at the links and buying tips below to be in with a chance of finding where to buy the Xbox Series X or Series S in the U.K. 

Where to buy Xbox Series X UK: Latest updates

This month, we can expect to see some Xbox Series X and Series S restocks. But Xbox Series X restocks are expected to be limited until at least the summer, and potentially longer.

Do bear in mind that you can get an Xbox Series X for a monthly subscription fee of £28.99 as part of the Xbox All Access programme. That gets you the console and access to Xbox Game pass for a regular fee over the span of 24 months. The Xbox Series X can be had for £20.99 for the same 24-month subscription plan. But these deals are still hampered by a lack of console stock. 

If you're fed up with looking for an Xbox Series X you could try your hand at getting a PS5, as it's been released in the U.K. However, stocks are also very low; check out our handy where to buy PS5 in the U.K. guide for a helping hand. 

To help you be in with a chance of securing one of Microsoft’s new consoles, we’ve rounded up the main U.K. retailers currently offering the consoles; just remember to check back to see which have stock in.

Where to buy Xbox Series X UK: Avoid the scalpers

One of the reasons for Xbox Series X and Series S stock shortages is down to scalpers snapping up large amounts of next-gen consoles in one big swoop and then selling them on for extortionate prices. 

VGC reported that a now infamous PS5 scalper group going by the name of CrepChiefNotify managed to snap up 1,000 Xbox Series X consoles as soon as they became available at U.K. retailer Very. And the group boasted about it online; there are select words to describe such people but they aren’t suitable for publication. But Very has the last laugh by Very cancelling 1,000 Xbox Series X pre-orders. 

As frustrating as it can be to find an Xbox Seires X or Series S, we suggest you avoid buying a console from these scalpers. Paying massively over the odds for a console that doesn't have a huge range of new Xbox Seires X games isn’t a shrewd move in our opinion. If you can hold out until 2021 Microsoft should have more Xbox Series X units to ship, as well as the promise of more exclusive games for the console, making it a much better time to get one.
