    My mind hasn't really been focused on consoles lately and just realised last day to order one for first day on Amazon was 15/8 which I obviously missed. If I pre-order in a store should I be able to get one? I'm in Dublin which probably makes it a little more unlikely.

    What about Tesco/Argos? A friend of mine works on the hardware section in Tesco so that'll probably be my best bet.

    I remember when the wii came out, you couldn't get one anywhere without a pre-order apart from Argos. Harvey Normans is another bet as well. Or any electrical shop is worth a shot, just try places that wouldn't be as obvious as Gamestop, Game etc

    I was in Xtra Vision earlier today in the ashleaf and they are taking pre orders. I don't know if they are day one though.

    2 weeks ago in Smyths on Jervis street they said they still have Day 1 editions of the XB 1 available for pre order.

    I'll confirm tomorrow but as of Friday we were still guaranteeing Day One preorders in Smyths

    All is good, got a Day One edition online through GameStop. I hope that means day one delivery too!

    Are you sure its day one release, I went into gamestop 3 weeks ago and they said they were completely sold out of release day Xbox One.

    What they did say was that they could get me a day 1 edition but a few weeks later on the second run.
