Microsoft's Xbox Series S and X consoles are now up for pre-order in the UK, with many retailers selling out within days.

Despite the popular demand, some UK retailers still have plenty of Xbox Series S console in stock, so if you're looking to nab one now is your chance.

The PS5 is more or less out of stock everywhere at the moment so you might want to be one of the early birds if you're set on an Xbox Series X or S console.
