Thanks to the wonders of the internet, it’s never been easier to buy video games, either digitally or physically, even if you still have to wait for them to be downloaded or delivered. But now the terminally impatient can cut down the wait time to mere minutes.
Anyone can buy a game at the touch of a button on their phones or gaming consoles, but now delivery app Just Eat has made the process easier, if you get a hankering for a second-hand copy of Bulletstorm (or whatever) on the Xbox 360, at the same time as a McDonald’s.
That’s right, UK games retailer CeX is now taking orders through Just Eat, allowing you to have games, consoles, cables, controllers, and movies delivered straight to your door in ‘around 30 minutes’.
‘We’re delighted to expand the reach of CeX to millions of Just Eat customers, making it even faster for them to get the tech treats on demand,’ CeX boss, David Butler, said.
‘Just Eat customers can now enjoy the most popular CeX products and quality items, all covered by CeX’s unrivalled free five year warranty, but straight to your door.’
The five year warranty is a key part of this, as you won’t be able to check the condition of the disc or box when you’re ordering through an app (and online generally).

The main caveat is whether you have a CeX within delivery distance, but considering there are over 390 stores across the UK, there’s a high chance you do.
The other danger to consider is whether you’d want to risk ordering a PlayStation 5 alongside a batch of greasy chicken and milkshakes, but the urge to play Returnal at the midnight hour gets to us all.
