Delivery is free on all orders over £25 to ROI if you choose Super Saver Delivery & buy direct from Amazon rather than a reseller. No need for Parcel Motel in this case

I know yeah, but generally with supersaver the game wont get delivered on launchday, so I choose parcelmotel to get them asap. I had GTA V 3 days before launch and other games at least the day before, also with the first class delivery the royal mail deliver on saturdays so at least parcel motel will get it friday/saturday and you will still have it for the weekend rather then waiting until monday/tuesday for anpost. I think the €3.50 parcelmotel is a great price for weekend deliver

No to both your questions unfortunately, they confirmed weeks back they would not be offering bundles to online orders and as regards in store bundles they are only being offered to people high up on the list and they do not have that many to go about. You could try Amazon and you might get lucky.

Im talking about games not the console, not sure if one would fit in the locker, the dimensions are on their site.

Just found a reputable English website that has pre orders available for ps4 console bundles and they guarantee it will be available for release day .

If it is Simply Games avoid them like the plague.

True that, Super Saver delivery takes three to four days or so usually.

If you order the ps4 on the GameStop IE website do they take the money straight away or when its shipped ?

They made headlines last month by forcing their customers to pay a extra 65 pounds on their PS4 as they got less stock than they forecasted.

They seem very dodgy and have stated they have no more launch consoles, so I do not know how they are guaranteeing people them still.

Muspratt stated that his company is not going to be changing course and that, "We have no stock left. All of our day one allocation is sold, and our offer was manifested by how the distributor has allocated their stock to us, so we're not changing tack."

This is from their site
http://www.gamestop.ie/Help?section=FAQ

Please note that for pre-orders purchased via MasterCard, VISA or PayPal we now take payment at time of shipping so please ensure you have funds available in advance of the release of the game.

Lads just for anyone buying from Amazon.co.uk and getting it delivered to parcelmotel you can up the extended liability from €100 to €500 for €3.50 in case your worried it might go missing on the trip from Belfast to your local parcel motel storage unit.

Just at one of the HN stores. As explained by them - each individual store knows the # of consoles they are getting. This store is only getting, let's say, 5 of the €588 bundles and 15 of the €439. Am within the latter list, very surprised given the recent order.

Simply games are cowboys. I've never used them since they were charging £100 than RRP for the wii the year there were shortages.

Bit disappointing that some places are taken peoples orders for bundles as a different pre order list, to the PS4 on it's own.

HN have basically taken hundreds of pre orders for the PS4, and now they are taking more preorders for the the bundles, rather than upgarding customers who pre-ordered months ago, a bit like Gamestop, people who ordered online should be kicking up more of a fuss, give them bad press for this... considering there isnt much competition out there nowadays.

I ordered on Amazon 28th August, spoke with CS, and they said I should get it before Xmas.

Updated my bundle last week to Gamer Pack, and I recieved a order update 2 days ago of delivery for the 29th Nov.



Gamer Bundle(KZ,Camera,2x DS4), Magma DS4, Ghost Dogs + express delivery €580.

HN Bundle for €588 is PS4, 2x DS4 and Two Games.

Massive price difference.

I've pre order in both HN and Amazon, so if Amazon charge me first (day of dispatch) I'll give away my HN pre order, but if they look like happening the same day, il just head to Harvey Norman.

I was going to place an order with amazon now for a ps4. Any idea when I would be expected to get it?

If they have enough stock in you will get it before Christmas, if not you will get it sometime soon after.

Due to high demand, customers who pre-ordered from August 7 may receive their consoles after release date, but will get them before Christmas. We will dispatch orders as soon as we receive sufficient stock

Keep the pre order and also order with Amazon as they will not charge you till it is dispatched.

Thanks for your help mate. I just placed my order now. Does it take long for an estimation email to arrive? Also is it possible to upgrade to the killzone bundle?

Xenji

I am not sure about the e-mail, but I am sure somebody will tell you here, as regards the bundles they will email you if you're eligible for one.

The Crew has been delayed to next year but if you are happy to wait, work away.
