I was thinking that, but they'll probably out you to the back of a queue or something.
I'll be down near my Smyths tomorrow so will call in and see.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I'll be picking it up on Friday, so less of an issue with the queue but would feel better if I had an Argos reservation. Might set an alarm for Thursday...

****e, have Zelda and Switch on separate click n collects in Smyth's... And I bet there's no flexibility... And I can't play hardball for toffee, they'll know I'm bluffing by my triforce tattoo and the pantomime Epona costume I'll be wearing...

Speaking to the fellow in Smyth's he said there'd be no problem with going for a bundle despite preordering then separately

RobbingBandit · 01-03-2017 11:08PM

My neon is with Smyths I have a master Zelda preordered too think I'll buy it now though and go for that €360 deal with Bomberman.

Cex had 64gb cards for €24 today bought one myself it is a Toshiba sdxc one so hope that does the trick, first time I am buying a console in the launch window since the original 3ds.

Ol' Donie · 01-03-2017 11:13PM

This time tomorrow night I'll be in the car heading in. Ow!

alekito · 01-03-2017 11:29PM

What is the best deal on the Switch Pro Controller?

I have a Wii U Pro Controller ... wish it worked on the Switch

VelcroGhost · 01-03-2017 11:52PM

I've seen two ads on ITV2 in the space of 10 minutes tonight - one for Zelda and the other for 1 2 Switch.

The GF is very amused by 1 2 Switch, it might have to be the bundle game in Smyths. (Obviously I'm getting the deluxe Zelda edition or there would be no contest)

Ol' Donie · 02-03-2017 12:00AM

I preordered the standard run of the mill Zelda, because I couldn't see any special edition on the Gamestop website.

I'm a bit torn. I usually go for special edition Zeldas. But I kinda like getting the regular ones for some reason too.

Jesus christ, when is it tomrrow already?

Star Lord · 02-03-2017 12:06AM

Was going to wait till midnight, but too tired for that...

An hour off for those of you collecting at midnight...

CastorTroy · 02-03-2017 12:18AM

But it's not dawn.

So how are ye planning on testing the different modes? I want to test them, but don't want anything to take away from Zelda on the tv. May play for a bit then revisit areas with it in portable mode and tabletop mode. I'll be trying the Joy Cons in and out of the grip sooner though.

Still feck all from Amazon and their online chat said it still ship today but be in Belfast Friday for Parcel Motel.
I was well hyped today, now feeling a bit down in dumps, this could be a Monday delivery yet, god dammit!

I was in the same boat a couple of hours ago and decided to cancel Amazon and take a punt on the GameStop bundle.

Just hope to god they have stock!!!

It was impossible for me to pre-order both on a single click and collect when I placed my order at the end of January.

It basically said you couldn't preorder more than one item at a time.

Due to recent changes in regulation, Batteries on their own and Power Banks need to have specific markings if being shipped by air so they are handled correctly. Rather than mark them, Amazon just don't bother. An Post's forwarding service in the UK says it doesn't accept anything that falls into the specific packing regulation that governs batteries.

Now... there's the possibility that Amazon won't bother their holes marking the box if it's going domestic and An Post won't check for offending items. But if it goes wrong they destroy the parcel and you're out £25...

I recently ordered one and had to get it delivered by AnPost's AddressPal.
It was delivered with no issue. Even though the box had that marking sticker, which was huge, on the front.

I'm so weak, fomo. I said I would wait for a year but now that launch approaches I want one. What are my realistic chances here of getting one on Friday? Is it just Argos that will have available?

Anyone?
Rang GameStop earlier and they said they'd have some stock at their midnight launch stores but I have zero clue what demand would be like. It could be a 2hr round trip wasted.

CastorTroy · 02-03-2017 02:47AM

Smyths here said they would have stock so I assume they plan on that everywhere

I'd be shocked if you had a hard time getting one.

Mostly Zelda fans will be getting it day 1. Casual gamers (which are the ones that sell stuff out) will come later.

TrustedApple · 02-03-2017 06:23AM

Lovely woke up and my bank also blocked wait for it my switch pre order on my credit card.

Put on 360 euros from my bank account on it they still block it. I am going to kill someone in the morning

Other territories are reporting possible stock issues, due to volumes of preorders, but Smyth's suggested that that it would be ok, at least for those buying tomorrow morning.

chrislad · 02-03-2017 07:52AM

Amazon order is showing as dispatching soon. Payment has been taken those for both Zelda and the Switch. Hopefully will arrive in ParcelMotel tomorrow for Saturday delivery.

Kaizersoze81 · 02-03-2017 08:31AM

Don't forget to increase your parcel motel standard liability cover. The standard is only €100 insurance cover if parcel goes missing. It's €3.50 to increase it to €500.

Popple3 · 02-03-2017 08:34AM

According to Amazon.de, my Joy-Cons won't be shipping until the 4th. I wouldn't mind (since I know I'll be waiting anyway), but it means I'll have to wait to get my Snipperclips €10 off code.

Same here. I have 3 orders: the console, Zelda, and the pro controller. Hope I'll get the option of a bundle

TrustedApple · 02-03-2017 08:42AM
