    Anyone see any stock cropping up anywhere else or is Smyths the best bet to keep an eye on?

    Yesterday Smyths had some popping up throughout the day. Two people I know got sorted but they sold out very quickly. Just keep an eye on Smyths as often as you can.

    Just grabbed one from Currys and they now look to be gone again!

    Id the Hotstock app set for the UK for stock updates for Smyths and Currys, it popped up for Currys UK and the Irish store must restock at the exact same time.

    I just picked one up from the Smyths in Fonthill, they don’t have them on the site yet as they have just received the delivery so it might be worth checking your local Smyths :)

    Just checked the site and Galway have 15+ in stock, hopefully all the stores in Ireland have received them

    I just went into the Limerick Parkway shop, they don't have any in stock. They already put their delivery out. I was hoping to be ahead of the curve.

    I've missed every single drop so I'm hoping to get one!

    Naas just had 8 in stock and 5 minutes later was down to 1. Carrickmines has 15+, pure madness this whack-a-mole approach to stock

    I was 20 minutes outside Galway and they went out of stock had to turn back, no sign of any in Limerick. They don't answer the phone either.

    Nah that's nearly a 4hr return trip. I'll hold out for smyths in Limerick. Only getting it to play while on break in work, have a portable wifi box and sim card ready to go.

    If a dedicated video game shop came back to Ireland it would be an absolute goldmine, having to resort to smyths is a joke.

    A lot of staff taking them for family members I'd say.

    Thankfully I was one of the 8. I was there at 3pm and 3 had gone before me. Lots of people sprinting into smyths! A few queue skippers as well. Pure madness

    I had the little one asleep on my chest so I threw my car keys at the missus and said go go go, it went from 5 to 0 in 1 refresh of the page.

    Never thought it'd be as mad as this for the portal.

    Got one in Ennis Road smyths. Not listed online at all, got the last one, so I'd say walk into your local smyths and ask.

    That is eerily similar to what happened to me! I live close by so I made it but if I left it 5 minutes then I wasn't getting it.

    Great call on Ennis Road. I had been to parkway and they had absolutely none before today. Looks like that's it for this drop but I did see that galway and swords for not l got more today.... so hopefully I'm wrong.

    For me the portal is the solution to the problem I have which is time! It's not for everyone but it is perfect for dads that want to be physically present and have a quick game.

    That last paragraph is literally why I'm getting it, play in work and be on the couch with the family instead of holed up in a separate room. It's downloading the update now first impressions are very good
