You'll have to slum it with your few month old 4k tv!

I think the main thing is upgrading from hd to 4k. Would be nice to get the 2 together if you had an old tv.

I know, it's my cross to bear

Working now so crisp and fast and smooth.

After midday the site will go bananas or whenever lunch is in the Smyths office.

*goes on lunch, lets the website go nuts

More confirmation on PM sunday delivery here

Are many people planning on upgrading their TV at the same time?

Dublin maybe, but in Mayo Sunday delivery has never happened in over 5 years of using them, it will always arrive on a Monday if it is in the depot on a Saturday.

Only time in Limerick seeing a Sunday delivery was a few years ago when the lockers were so busy before Christmas they couldn't get parcels into them fast enough because of so many online ordering, otherwise nothing.

Anybody else remember that sh*t show when Parcel motel just gave up on the Talk to us forums after that.

They have a list, any new stock will be already allocated, I'd imagine.

Most would be absorbed by the 'virtual queue' they are running.

They've said that they cannot guarantee people who pre-ordered from months ago they they will receive a console before Christmas, they've sold way more pre-orders then consoles they will receive I believe.

Berty

They haven't said but then again Gamestop are such a huge company globally they should get a further allocation. Maybe they don't need to bother advertising it because they'll be nabbed within minutes as there are so many people who are following stock levels like PS5sales on Twitter.

Doubt it, they were taking pre-orders without being sure of stock to fulfil the orders so they already have a backlog to fill.

They’re charging 50 euro to have the idea of a console at some point in its life cycle

There is No chance they have any more preorders, certainly not for receipt in the near future

Maybe they can a DFS Couch offer on it "Guaranteed Christmas delivery" when Christmas also occurs in January

There's also the fact that they have been taking pre orders for 6 months before they were official. Gamestop is the last place I would try to pre-order a PS5

and the rest.... some people on this thread put down money last year in gamestop

They've taken on way more than they can fulfill, it's going to be a mess.... Also given their financial situation, I'd say they simply won't care about the negative impact that the impending backlash will have on them because in the short to medium term they're history....

In short, i'm not saying don't go with gamestop, just be cautious because the warning signs are there

The answer to this question should be in a sticky!

No deposit and they do not take the money upfront. They will take the money on dispatch or a few days before for delivery; or the day of release or day before for click and collect.

When did you pre-order? If it was today, I am almost certain you will not get the console on launch, and most likely not before Christmas either. Unless a hell of a lot of people cancel their pre-order, which some are.

You do realize that you bought the place in the queue and that you can get console around Easter?
