    Just checked myself and despite only getting the Switch email I've been charged for both my pre-orders. Switch and Zelda.

    Damn, thought they would only charge when you collect the item, hope they are ok to refund the card! For the bundles they have, I wonder will we still be able to get them / add them.

    Dropped them a Facebook message and they're claiming they have "no bundles at this time" so who knows if they're just not informed or....

    Just got my text from Smyths. Won't make it until tomorrow evening but good to know it's there.

    woo just got the email for zelda now, dont really mind about the pro controller but it would have been awful to wait this long to get the switch and no game to play on it.

    Good old Smyths texts right after 6PM.

    Nothing says excitement like "failure to collect this will result in loss of deposit"!

    I will be in the hope of getting one without a preorder...

    Popped down after my last post and the chap in the store reckons they should be able to give me one without a preorder...

    Finger's crossed...

    I've had the worst day ever, on the phone with Amazon since 8am - 4PM to be told my order was cancelled


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,235 ✭✭✭Sparko


    Got the Smyths email, the processing one. Payment pending on my credit card so all looking good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 710 ✭✭✭Victor McDade


    I had an hour and 15 there where I thought I was going to have Zelda tomorrow but no Switch to play it on.

    Don't do that Smyths!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭Ace Attorney


    sweet, the controller mails must be rollin out now too, my triforce is complete :)

    Yeah, I noticed that. They're got to be on very shaky ground legally with that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭Ace Attorney


    *checks phone*

    *Zelda and switch is available for collection texts*

    Was thinking that too. If there's a lawyer on the pre-order list, I'd love to see that conversation.

    Got my Zelda and Switch texts just there. Very excited now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,449 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    Smyth's carrickmines (assume all stores) bundles. Switch plus bomberman looks nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,545 ✭✭✭murphyebass

    Wouldn't have bought so. Probably in the fine print that you have x amount of time to come get it after which they put it out on the shelf.

    That said I can't imagine there'll be any hassle in picking one up on general sale. It isn't going to go the way the Wii did.

    I wouldn't be surprised one bit to see loads of them on the shelves.

    On a side note are any of ye early adopters not concerned over the joy cons loosing connection. Projared was saying in a review on YouTube that it was happening a LOT. Not good and another reason not to adopt early imo.

    Don't get me wrong delighted to see it here and good luck to those who do buy but I'll be buying Zelda on Wii u and can wait a while till the issues are ironed out and a price drop

    Yeah 2 games for 360/380 is too good to be true.

    Just Back from Smyths. Got a printout from their system.
    390e Switch Grey/Neon + Zelda or Skylander pack
    370e Switch Grey/Neon + 12 or Bomberman or Just dance.

    Not such a good deal afterall. Hope above saves ye a Trip.
    Plus Bomberman and 1 2 switch reviews are not great.
    Especially not great for solo play. Nice gor 20e but not 50 each...

    Bought Neon and Zelda SE Edition Just now in GC. Collecting later. Woohoo. Its getting close now 😀


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,946 ✭✭✭McLoughlin


    Paid off mine this morning Switch and Bomberman with Zelda and Pro controller due in the post.

    Gamestop open at around 11 I can call in and collect Switch then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,452 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Has anyone seen any Switch ads on TV? More specifically on Irish channels? I haven't seen a single one anywhere and the Horizon ad was just on for the umpteenth time which reminded me.

    Yeah. I watch Nickelodeon and the Disney channel with my nephews and have seen a few Switch ads.

    Nearly sure I saw one on sky sports as well.

    Yup I was all set to buy it then I remembered Zelda so I'll leave that one for a while. Looks amazing though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio

    That's not such a great deal then, Bomberman for €30 I'd grab it but I think €40 is still a bit too much, it'll be cheaper in a few weeks I reckon!
    They've just updated their website as well
