Gamers can now have their Xbox consoles repaired at Currys, as part of a new deal between the retailer and the console’s maker, Microsoft.

The new repairs programme makes the electronics retailer the first Xbox Authorised Service Provider (ASP) in Ireland and the UK – with consumers previously needing to go through Microsoft channels for official servicing and repairs.
