Nintendo Switch 2 – live updates on launch day and where to buy
12 hours after a faltering midnight launch, there's Nintendo Switch 2 stock all over the place. However, same-day collections are starting to run out.
Right now, Argos looks like your best bet, but not for long. It looks like Argos still has consoles, with same-day click-and-collect available nationwide, but in some locations, you may have to pick up your console at 4pm today or 9am tomorrow. In many Argos locations, the console has sold out.
Amazon launched its stock at 8am this morning, but Currys has since run dry. After cancelling orders last week, Game has dropped some consoles. It's not just the obvious retailers; EE has launched bundles too.
However, things are really starting to thin out. Reliable sources like Smyths Toys have just run out of consoles, and there's no more stock at Currys or Asda.
If you're still trying to secure one, I'll be updating this blog with every restock as it happens. Stay tuned.

How one of Scottish's oldest bookshops Yeadon's thrives in Elgin despite challenges of Amazon
For almost 140 years, Yeadon's of Elgin has been an Aladdin's cave for bookworms in the town centre. It is one of Scotland's oldest continuously trading bookshops after being first opened in 1887 by James Dawson Yeadon. The journey has been far from easy for the independent bookshop. In 2007, independent publisher Birlinn's managing director Hugh Andrew rescued the shop from closure. Despite the challenges posed by online giants like Amazon and big book chains, Yeadon's has stayed true to its roots and remains a beloved Elgin staple on Commerce Street. Jan Robertson has been running the iconic shop for 18 months now. Yeadon's has a special place in Jan's heart, having enjoyed many memories as a child looking through the array of books. The Elgin native has worked in libraries across the world including in Dubai, Houston and Saudi Arabia. After coming home she spotted the job advert in the window and jumped at the chance to work in her beloved shop. She recalls: 'I wanted to work here for my work experience when I was 15, but I didn't get it. I ended up in the library instead, which led to me working in libraries for most of my life. 'I've been overseas for the last 20 years, came back here and saw the job in the window. 'I used to come in every week with my granny and go downstairs to the kids' section, which is somewhere else in the shop now. It feels like a full circle.' The rise of Amazon and other bigger brands has dramatically changed the retail landscape. But for this independent bookshop, the approach is not to compete with giants—it's to offer what they can't. Jan said: 'Yes, competing with Amazon and the supermarkets is the toughest challenge for us as an independent bookshop. 'We're not billionaires, so we don't have the same resources. 'But we stand out by giving personal recommendations and creating a sense of community. She added: 'People can talk to us about books, and we can get any book in within a couple of days if we don't already have it. 'We're not trying to be Waterstones or Amazon, we're something different. 'We know our customers and we care. 'And we're proud of our heritage, being part of Elgin's community for over a century means something.' Despite the popularity of e-books and Kindles, she's optimistic about the future of physical books. She said: 'Kindles have their place, but people still love the feel of a real book. 'They want something on their shelves, something tangible. 'Kindles can't replace the importance of a physical book. 'We just sell physical books and have been since 1887 and must be the oldest shop in Elgin.' The closure of Waterstones and WH Smith in the St Giles Centre has certainly opened up a gap in the market. It has left Yeadon's as the only business in Elgin that has books front and centre in their store. She said: 'Since Waterstones closed, we've definitely seen a slight increase in sales. 'We've been ramping up on social media and reminding people we're still here – one of the oldest independent bookshops in Scotland. 'Also, we have seen more younger customers coming in which has meant more people are asking for fantasy books. 'It is crucial to attract more younger readers as they are the next generation of bookshop users.' She added: 'We're hoping to expand our gift range and have already increased our stationery selection. Since WH Smith closed, we're selling more cards too. 'It's about getting people in for other things and then they browse the books.' The shop has also leaned into events to drive engagement with monthly storytime sessions for children, author visits, and a monthly book club held in collaboration with cocktail bar Dean's Of Elgin. Jan added: 'We are hosting more events to draw more people into the book and for general awareness. 'The storytime events are great as we are getting kids into the shop who will be the future readers. 'We try to keep busy with author visits and we get schools visiting too. 'I enjoy getting the children into the shop as I remembered how much I enjoyed it as a youngster.' She added: 'The book club with Dean's attracts 20 women each month and it has been a success. 'Therefore, we are looking to work with other businesses to do more events.' Looking ahead, the store hopes to keep expanding its offerings and continue hosting community events. What is Elgin reading most at the moment though? Jan replied: 'A bit of everything, but crime is always popular. 'It is a popular genre because of the rise of true crime podcasts and documentaries. 'Scottish fiction and non-fiction also sell well and kids' books do as well.' Yeadon's at 32 Commerce Street is open from Monday to Saturday from 9:30am to 4pm.

Coronation Street star reveals devastating update on beauty business after building burned down
A CORONATION Street star has revealed a devastating update after her beauty business burned down. The former ITV soap actress had created a successful side-hustle to her acting by training as a nail technician and setting up a salon in Middleton, Greater Manchester. 6 6 6 Yet last week, Katy Armstrong actress Georgia May Foote - who left Corrie in 2015 and whose character was killed off-screen two years later - took to Instagram to report her salon unit had burned down. She launched a fundraiser for herself and the other businesses affected while they await a potential insurance payout - yet was hit with flack from cruel online trolls. Georgia, 34, has now given a hard-hitting update - telling fans the building will now be demolished, before capturing her abandoned salon chair in the rubble. In another video posted to her Instagram grid, she thanked fans for their kindness to date and said: "Guys! thank you so much! "Unfortunately the building is now about to be demolished, my heart is broken. "I was to first of all say how sorry I am to anyone who has lost even a single item in that fire. I can't imagine how those who have things that can't be replaced feel. I'm so sorry. "I posted my last reel as an appeal to help us all get back to work as soon as possible, without us working we can't buy stock, without stock we can't work. It's the hardest situation for so many of us to be in. With our whole place of work and tools gone and families to feed and bills to pay." She then told how there had been a glimmer of happiness in the dire situation and said: "I aimed to raise 10k not thinking for a second we would bet this support! But here we are passing 10k! "There are 12 of us affected by this who work in the beauty industry and every penny will be evenly distributed to help us get back where we were." Devastated Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote reveals her beauty business has burned down in huge fire "Thank you for everything that has been donated too! "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep donating. We have all lost thousands each and this will help us so much. Links in bio! "If you have another business that has been affected from this fire and you want me to help you with your fundraisers please get in touch." GEORGIA'S JOURNEY Prior to her role on the popular ITV soap, she played Alison Simmons in Grange Hill for three years. And following her exit from the ITV soap, she took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2015. She was partnered with Giovanni Pernice, where they reached the final and finished as runners-up. Back in 2023, she revealed her normal salon day job eight years after bidding farewell to Weatherfield. She trained for two years for her career in beauty and set up her own brand, GMF Nails. In 2023, she told how she had moved to the Middleton premises and wrote on social media: "Georgia said: "It's been over two years since I qualified as a nail tech and it's been the best two years getting to know you all! "I spent the last two years working with some amazing girls who have now become life long friends, who taught me everything I needed to know, and gave me the confidence to do everything you guys throw at me! "Over three months ago I took the plunge to move into somewhere a bit more intimate, working alongside another incredible nail tech and I absolutely love our new little space guys!" She went onto admit that whilst acting was her main ambition in life, her new role in the nail industry allowed her some much needed "security." She added at the time: " "But nails gives me that little bit of head space and security most actors need! "I am very grateful you have all supported me every time I have had to run off to film something! It means a lot when you are proud! "I am now open to taking on new clients and looking forward to meeting many more of you!" 6 6 6
