By It appears there’s significant interest in it
The ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X handhelds have now been available for slightly over two weeks, and it is the more robust of the two (the “X” variant) that continues to be most favored, with stock challenges enduring in certain regions.
This has resulted in some individuals seeking alternative methods to acquire one, like purchasing from different countries or even resorting to inflated prices from scalpers. Fans on the Xbox Ally Reddit are urging consumers not to let the scalpers triumph, with many advocating for patience while the peak period continues.
Undoubtedly, the interest varies based on your location, with the UK notably seeming to suffer from a lack of stock of the Ally X as it stands. Certain retailers are accepting orders but with delayed shipping dates such as December; however, that’s undoubtedly a more acceptable choice than purchasing from a third-party on platforms like eBay.
As mentioned earlier, some individuals in the UK are placing orders through Amazon France to obtain one – but that purchase does not include a charger.
We do have a comprehensive guide on where to purchase the ROG Xbox Ally here at Pure Xbox, so you might want to take a look at that if you’re interested – many retailers are currently out of stock, but keep an eye out, as they will eventually restock!
