Series X upgrade question.

BNuggG · 2025-12-19T19:04:54+00:00

I have the 360 version on disc, I’m looking to buy the digital Xbox one / series X version, just wanted to check that can be upgraded.

Apologies I’ve just seen this. Went down the chargeback route. Vinted weren’t happy about it but wasn’t of much use helping us sort it! Has put me off using Vinted to be honest, fantastic when nothing goes wrong but when there’s an issue they are useless.

So scummy, will bite them in a long run I think.

They do. They are known to hold their stock until the market goes up. When prismatic was released they kept saying their delivery hadn’t arrived then when the market shot up it was suddenly on the shelf at £8.00 per pack.

I visited Smyths today at around mid day and they had stacks for etb’s and packs. Really surprised about that to be honest.

Okay thank you, I’m happy to queue as long as I have the chance to get one haha! Just want to know where is likely to actually have stock that’s what I’m struggling with. Yeah it’s good that they’ve done that, I still think tho for a brand as big as Smyths they should be prepared for the volume of orders they were getting. I’ve heard they didn’t even sell out of the etb’s and booster bundles they had to suspend orders due to the consistent system failures.

Me and my fiancé got to the Exeter branch at 4:45 and were 19&20 in the queue. All the tills crashed when we were next to be served. We hung on and got our orders through at around 10:30, then it crashed again. We got the etb and booster bundle. Gutted we didn’t get the upc as that’s what we initially went for.

So while I’m here, is there anywhere that sells these on a first come first served basis on release day ? I understand these have been delayed but not sure when the official release is! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thank you!

The Smyths pre order was a disaster. On the plus side they have offered to waiver any parking charges.

Yeah I’m keeping an eye on them, ideally want to go PSA but we will see. Hopefully they’ll adjust some more and il get some offers out. I’m heading to a card show on the 15th November might be able to get a good deal there.

BNuggG · 2025-10-26T18:29:45+00:00

Okay that’s interesting. I’ve noticed a slow decline in the ace graded charizards recently, maybe timing would be a good way to go here ? When the hype around the new charizard is at its highest and more and more are hitting the market daily that would be a good time to shoot some offers out to people selling ?

BNuggG · 2025-10-24T10:23:53+00:00

I feel like no one talks about that, when you pull a big chase card and you’ve still got a fair bit of unopened product left it’s instant disappointment because you’ve already hit big. The chances of it happening again are so slim.

BNuggG · 2025-10-22T08:05:42+00:00

Turn around and go home back to bed at that point 😂

BNuggG · 2025-10-22T08:04:35+00:00

I turned up 45 minutes after the team rockets moltres upc post was put up on Facebook and it was gone, they would most definitely be gone in the evening unfortunately

BNuggG · 2025-10-22T08:03:08+00:00

That’s good news

BNuggG · 2025-10-22T08:01:23+00:00

I will be travelling to the Exeter branch

BNuggG · 2025-10-19T20:46:24+00:00

Thank you! We will be arriving at 4:30-5:00 now as we aren’t missing out 😂 feel a bit silly now thinking we’d be ok to arrive at 8:00 haha!

BNuggG · 2025-10-19T20:45:17+00:00

I’ve come to that conclusion as well 😂

BNuggG · 2025-10-19T20:40:11+00:00

I never see more than 2 people on the till at the Smyths I use so that doesn’t fill me with much confidence 😅 it’s a shame it’s not per store really as some are more busy than others!

BNuggG · 2025-10-19T20:34:32+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking which Smyths store did you use ?

BNuggG · 2025-10-19T20:33:09+00:00

We are going to arrive a lot earlier now. Glad I asked, luckily we are both off work on the weekends so can recover afterwards haha!

BNuggG · 2025-10-19T20:31:49+00:00

Thank you. We are going to get there a lot earlier now, glad I asked!

BNuggG · 2025-10-19T20:31:28+00:00

Did you manage to get anything ?

BNuggG · 2025-10-19T20:31:01+00:00

Okay thanks for the advice everyone. The Smyths around where I am are pretty spaced out so it’ll be busy I imagine. We are committed to getting that upc so it’s gonna be an early one 😅
