man, I used to hear about XBox Series X/PS5 way back before 2020 and I've never found either to be easily available in stock. As a casual gamer, I can't be bothered to juggle through multiple websites and pay a premium.

Where do you live? Here in UK either console has been pretty easy to get without much faff since at least christmas. They stay in stock for weeks now, I suspect the demand has really dried up by now.

Series X:

Easy is not the word I would use to describe the situation in the UK. It's only been ebay or special BT customer bundles that are consistently available. And even that bundle you linked is £200 higher than the regular console.

Argos has had stock of this bundle for weeks now, it's very consistently available if you don't mind paying the extra £50 for Horizon Forbidden West(which is actually a decent deal)

If you actually try to click buy on the XBox Series X, you'll be told they're out of stock. So clearly stock is still constrained.

Ok well, Amazon has it in stock at RRP then:
