It’s got to be a lack of consoles available at this stage, hasn’t it? I genuinely believe they’ve completely f*cked it. And they knew they had from early on hence zero communication of any kind.
I honestly don't think so. I think the system is just slammed. Realistically, it's not hard to assume gamestop would get the lion's share of console allocation as the only primary gaming retailer in the country and I think the pandemic has made cooperation more difficult, there is probably extra precautions handing over to couriers, more difficult time getting staff aligned, who are probably already fatigued over the xbox launch.
Logically I can see reasons for the problems gamestop have.
Emotionally I hate their guts for leaving me in the dark

My feeling is that if there wasn’t something wrong, they’d be less likely to be hiding on social media/any form of communication
In any case, if we take here as a smaller demographic of the metric, Smyths seems just as populated with orders as GameStop.0 -

All they had to do was bring in some staff and do click and collect at most or all of their stores and it would have avoided the majority of their problems.0 -

I'd say the whole system is jammers with getting them out and delivered. They prob know some will be late and didn't send out emails as the tracking prob wouldn't update for a few days
Hopefully so M8

Try Tesco - they still have them in stock for collection or delivery from next Tuesday
I have one in my basket for Tesco but it wont checkout
Edit - I wodner if an item is in basket is it reserved?!!
I never use Tesco but I added a load of groceries in lockdown. Cant remove them from basket!!
They are being hit hard now by the looks of things
We are currently experiencing some technical issues.
We are sorry for any inconvenience whilst we resolve these issues. We'll be back up and running again soon.0 -

Woke up this morning with zero intention of even looking for a console. Now have delivery slot of 26th Nov from Tesco Not sure how I feel about this but if I flog PS4 Pro might not be an expensive upgrade. Also not sure how confident I am in Tesco delivering a console 0
