Likely places to get a PS4 without a Pre-order

neo2010

Hey everyone,

I have a PS4 pre-order scheduled to be dispatched tomorrow from Amazon.

Unfortunately, I just can't afford it right now and was going to cancel.

However, if anybody here is desperate for a PS4, I'd be happy to give the order to them - it is the PS4 megapack with console, Dualshock 4, Killzone ShadowFall and Battlefield 4 for £435.62.

If anybody wants it, just PM me.

Boom.


Anyway, I've to get onto my buddy in Tesco and ask how many they've got in, if they've got them in at this stage, I'll let ye know what he says.

Spoke with Tesco Extra in Balbriggan. They have confirmed that they will not have any ps4 for Friday and that it may be two weeks before they will get any in. I'm dissappointed!

I've a friend working in HMV who I pre-ordered mine through. She said to me today that they might have extras on Friday, ie. some consoles in excess of their pre-orders. BUT they're not 100% on numbers yet. Still, might be worth a look on the day for those of you who are out of options. I doubt if you'll be able to pre-order at this stage, but you could try popping in first thing on Friday.

Quick update, games and consoles are getting delivered sometime tomorrow and wont be on the shelf until Friday morning.

On his sytem they've a PS4 bundle down as 449 and Killzone at 65, they still dont know how many PS4's at the moment, its basically waiting for the delivery to come in.

This is not a Tesco Extra either and the guy works in the Electronic/Non food department.

Hers it the Dundrum branch. But again I would caution it's far from a sure thing.

Its all up in the air, sure Argos in Jervis said there would be people queuing Thursday over night even though they are only open at 9am on Friday

and were only getting in 10 consoles, all of which have been reserved for staff :pac:

Not looking likely I'll be getting one on launch day, usually I land on my feet and get one, or know someone that can get me one, ah well roll on whenever they have them back in stock :pac:

Hope you guys put signs up in the morning to save people queuing for nothing.

whats more, if everyone here fortunate enough to score one on thursday/friday could take a minute away from their shiny new box of awesome to post availability updates on respective stores ( quantity left, queue size, etc. ), that would be greatly appreciated.

Don't generally care if people queue or not to be honest, its a simple 7 digit code to type into the touch screen, so theirs no queuing anyway unless its in stock
only people queuing will be people to ask if its in stock which I find is morons that do that, because if it was in stock they wouldn't be asking they would be queuing up to pay for the thing:pac:

We had a girl call yesterday from tipperary looking for one
we said they wont be in stock here or their would be very little
she offered to pay the girl who answered the phone to get one for her and shed give her 500 for it:pac: she also said their would be no point in her queuing before the shop opened because people would run past her to get in the line first

argos won't be doing it the same way gamestop and smyths are doing it
theirs no queues , its simply walk in, check too see in stock then pay or go some were else

God I'm such an idiot.

I went and pre-ordered the Xbox on Gamestop today as I've a feeling it would be available sooner and when I factor in FIFA the gap closes a bit in price.

Believing it was a free till shipping pre order, but when using Visa Debit they take the payment temporarily and it will return in the next few days.

I was weary after reading the pre order policy so it was always a risk, but it clearly only stated Lasar as an instant payment(ya I prob could have went Paypal and maybe avoided it).

Not looking likely I'll have access to the funds to try Tesco tomorrow or Friday if either comes up.
Will be watching my 365 all tomorrow.... stupid me... stupid Gamestop... stupid Visa Debit.

D.i.d might/will have ps4, killzone, 2 controller & camera bundle @499 I said might because staff have preference and they won't know quantities until they arrive late tomorrow evening. Worth checking as I've not seen anyone even mention them up to now

we got 5 ps4s in yesterday
go online and try reserve them you can't because staff can see when their going to be on the argos system and then they reserve it through the argos system so the public have 0 chance to get any
we did not even voice any of the ps4's away so their never going to be available to the public unless we make it so
good luck with trying to reserve it at midnight though let me know how that works out for ya :L

See, my request was for a sign to say "no PS4s in stock" to deter people who were under the impression that consoles cant be reserved and would be chancing their arm on the previously advised first-come first-serve basis. A queue of people would form before your doors even open unaware of the fact staff have first dibs. It would be the nice thing to do. Its a shame people like you work in retail.

Maybe argos should review who they employ.
