Item currently awaiting an ETA*

That's fine. It was an early enough order so hopefully it'll be in the first batch of stock. If I get Argos or somewhere else in the meantime, I can cancel this one.

They said on twitter it would be overnight so it'll be sometime between now and 8am. No more specific unfortunately.

Just ordered one from scan, don't even need PM, they straight up take Irish addresses for like 12gbp delivery

It only took a PayPal authorisation by the way (fro the full amount), no charge yet so it could be tomorrow or when shipped, not sure.

They took my money just there

trying to order on argos uk..saying order couldnnot be processed does that mean put of stock

MrManBuz

Been trying to order from Argos UK. My payment has failed multiple times now.... And when I click to pay with PayPal nothing happens. Just doesn't seem like I'm going to get one lol.

The Ayatolla

Yeah same, my Revolut failed due to suspicious transaction despite me authenticating within Revolut via their Verified by Visa thing.

Paypal link wouldn't work.

Very annoying!

MrManBuz

What's even more annoying is I just checked my bank account and there's two pending transactions from argos... So I didn't even get an order and now I've got a grand locked up in processing to be released god knows when.

I wish I could just go to bed, feel like a right gob****e staying up the whole night now, guess I'll have to have an extra coffee... Or 3 today.

0ph0rce0

Same as above. Got one in. Didn't register properly and 500 quid in limbo until they reverse it.

Knew it **** up, seemed too easy 😂

It’s coming

Edit:
No no, it’s not.
Another **** show. Pre orders will go live at some complete random time and nobody will have a clue and then they’ll all be gone within seconds.

This link is live now.

Are they a reliable source?

facehugger99

I’m presuming by Jan/Feb there’ll be plenty of availability.

I might just wait until the panic dies down.

Scan? Biggest PC parts and peripherals retailer in the UK, yeah I'd not have any qualms about them

Ouch was this using a credit or debit card?

GavK

Tried on Argos UK at around 6am - sold out. Does anyone know if they'll be available on Argos.ie ?

Debit. I'm sure it'll be released within a week or so, but still. Just feels like the perfect slap to the face for my efforts of pulling an all-nighter 😂

Legend! Just placed my order. Thanks a million!

Just got one on scan.co.uk, used them to buy a graphics card a few years ago and had no issues.

I notice the site says it's not guaranteed on launch though so I've sent a query to them to see if they have an estimate of the queue times etc hopefully they get back soon, avoided GameStop for the uncertainty and now I've paid 500 euro for uncertainty

I deal with scan quite a bit in my work. Good company but their stock is mostly linked to amazon.

I expect amazon will give them a % of their allocation

Guess we'll just have to wait and see if they're selling an unlimited number of pre-orders to join a queue like GS or if they're limiting it to what they think their allocation will be.

First time in my life I've been in a position to get a console day one and people are buying them up just to resell on eBay.

seems to still be available on scan.co.uk for anyone looking

Having a quick look on twitter it looks like everyone was posting about ordering on scan last night and given how quick Argos sold out this morning in the UK alone I'm not too hopeful
