GAMING fans have been left fuming after Currys PCWorld’s website went down as they tried to buy the Xbox Series X.
The shop restocked the games console after it sold out worldwide, but shoppers struggled to get hold of one as the site crashed because of the demand.
One buyer said on Twitter: “I’m so annoyed!!! I’ve been on the curry’s website for an hour waiting for the restock of the Xbox series X and there’s nothing there! WTF what’s going on????!!!”
Another said: “Seriously bad with Xbox Series X Currys, I got through, directed me to paypal paid for (even got email saying paid from Paypal with transaction number) now someone from your team said order didn’t go through!”
Sales of the console, which sold out in minutes when it launched earlier this month, went live at 1pm UK time.
Currys emailed shoppers saying both the £449 Xbox Series X and £249 Xbox Series S would be available for purchase.
Sales of the PS5 console last week sent the Currys website crashing too, along with other major retailers.
