Thats understandable but it will be no consolation to anyone who missed out last night.

Hopefully theres plenty to go around for everyone before Xmas anyway.

There will be loads to go around, but you won't be able to walk into a shop and buy one until late January.

Ya, hopefully anyway.

Would hate to see people miss out on them for Xmas for their kids or what not.

Or worse, have to pay some toe rag double the price because they bought a few of them to offload for mega profit.

Never got an email! And read her too late this morning at 5.30am.. hoping for Amazon now for the man in red to deliver the request!
If not hey ho he says a PS4 ‘will do’!
He’s 8!!

I don't suppose there's a way of pre-ordering with Smyths but paying off with One4All vouchers in the meantime? I presume if you're preordering online, you just have to do it with your card?

Smyths don't take One4all vouchers.

Screw you Smyths.
As long as I have one for Christmas Day I’m happy so hopefully more stock comes in after November 19th.

Grabbed one online myself on smyths last night, but a friend is wondering do they take ore-orders in store still?

I would imagine not if the online allocation is gone?

Yea the store's allocation would be tied to the click and collect most likely, which is obviously sold out.

Didn't realise they don't actually take them at all, but last night I just went ahead and pre-ordered on the card anyway when it was still available. I'm sure I'll find something else to use the vouchers on!

And if you end up with 2 PS5s, you will have people biting your hand off at cost price for the spare one!
