Beat the Scalpers - PS4 Edition - Please read guidelines and rules in post 1

    Hello all,
    As we come towards Christmas, Santa and parents around Ireland are being told that a Playstation 4 or an Xbox One would be the best Christmas present ever.

    This of course is no good to parents or Santa - they didn't know that this present was on the list and now they have to resort to eBay or adverts where people are asking for 700 euro for a PS4!!!

    The premise of this thread is simple...we are going to beat the scalpers...if you know where you can get an Playstation 4, either online or in a brick and mortar store, post the details here.

    Three rules:
    1) No off-topic posts. Only post details of where you know the console is available

    2) DO NOT post a link to a personal ad for an Playstation 4 unless you are selling it for cost price and not a cent more. If you do so, I will ban you from the Playstation forum. If you have a console or an unneeded preorder receipt, you may post a link to that ad. Again, any attempt to profiteer will result in a ban. No exceptions.

    3) Please post in the following format (e.g)

    Location:
    Limerick
    Store: Argos
    Comments: They'll have a batch of Playstation 4s for sale on release morning but get there quick.


    Thanks all!!!

    To keep the other threads from getting cluttered, maybe it'd be a good idea to keep a list of people looking for an unwanted pre-order or spare reservation code?

    Just for the record, I want to put myself down on that list! (Let's call it the boardsie waiting list :D)

    If anyone's got anything near Dublin or up North/UK, could you please PM me?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 642 ✭✭✭viper006

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭EarlyStorms

    Have two codes for Bundles, One in Sligo and One in Cavan (reserved because it was all that was left at the time and got a second as a backup) looking to swap either for one in Castlebar (preferably) or Galway if anyone has ones reserved and are closer to Sligo or Cavan.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 445 ✭✭Pedro Monscooch

    After amazon sxrewing me around my pre-order was refunded and I really need an xbox one this side of xmas.

    If anyone has reservation codes or CAN reserve me one around Weston Super Mare (Or generally in the Bristol area) I would be extremely greatful. (For those of you who dont know where weston is close to, post code is BS22).

    Thanks, hopefully someone has some thing or somewhere I can buy one!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6 Glennmaher


    Anyone have any joy on Argos tonight??
