Guys 499€ for disc version, is this the same price everywhere? Might buy one from Smyth’s but think they want all the money paid right now? Can I get a better deal elsewhere??

Same price absolutely everywhere. They won't charge until stock arrives.

You won’t get a better deal anywhere and Smyths don’t charge until the day before

500 across the board for disk version. Smyths don't take any money right away. The money comes out the day before or once you collect in store.

Edit: ****, I'm definitely going to bed now.

Won't get a better price preordering. Money won't be taken until it's shipped or collected!

McDermotX · 17-09-2020 12:40AM

Amazon preorders start after 9am FWIW

Believe it stays in progress until the transaction is completed (I.e collected or shipped).

Certainly recall that's the way it worked on previous orders.

Pending charge does be made a day or two beforehand, and then put through when collected/shipped. Smyths are by far the 'safest' crowd to deal with in my experience.

Just a silly question tho, how do you know for sure you will get one if order status just says in progress? I only done it at 12.28 for Fonthill smyths. Does it say something different to others who done it earlier? Thanks

Usually once smyths are great,pre order is there day 1 and only take money once your stock is in

Never had issues for PS4/switch

GameStop are A joke

Echo this as well. Smyths have always been good. Once you got an email confirming your order, you are good to go.

jayjay2010 · 17-09-2020 12:42AM

Omg I’m raging I had it in basket now out of stock everywhere

Once you've the confirmation email and reference you're good to go. Forget about in progress

Misprice on the controller on UK site at 49.99£.

Good spot. Can do a click and collect for newry anyone near the border.

jayjay2010 · 17-09-2020 12:43AM

Home delivery seems to still be in stock, is that guaranteed or is pick up the better option?

loughrey · 17-09-2020 12:43AM

I preordered via Smyths for store collection, should be faster than home delivery. Originally it said it wasn't available but then became available after midnight. Hopefully they'll get enough for November so I can get one

I guess you don't mate. Anything could happen between now and Nov with regard to stock allocation to stores. They could come up short unwittingly down the line, in which case they should communicate........if not, the next comms from them would be with regard to collection or your preorder has shipped etc.
Don't worry about the in progress status, its standard for Smyths.

wes · 17-09-2020 12:47AM

Have to do all this stress again next week for the Xbox, don't think it will be as bad, as the PS5 seems to be far more popular.

Exclamation Marc · 17-09-2020 12:47AM

Never got the Smyths release email, still nothing.

Bizarre.

Thank god for Boardsies!

jayjay2010 · 17-09-2020 12:48AM

Guys am I better off booking the home delivery as that appears to be in stock or should I wait for collection to become re available ? Afraid to commit to home delivery

I got one @ 23:59

Lemlin · 17-09-2020 12:51AM

The Smyths email went to my junk folder. Thanks to the posters here who pointed out pre orders were up.

Got a disc version click and collect for Navan.

Am I guaranteed one now that I got confirmation email?

Only console I’ve ever owned on launch day before was a PS2! I remember getting the bus from Cavan to HMV in Blanch to collect it!

Pity it’s an Xmas present so will be sitting up for a month.

Snake Plisken · 17-09-2020 12:52AM

Do you think Smyth's will do a midnight launch or won't bother due to the chaos/Covid 19)Safety issues?

Bazsutto · 17-09-2020 12:52AM

Got mail from Amazon. Pre-orders going live @ 09:00 in the morning for anyone who wants a backup option. Mail says stock is very limited.

DeadWeight · 17-09-2020 12:53AM

Hope Smyths gets that spiderman ultimate edition up soon

What's in the ultimate addition?

Parsnips · 17-09-2020 12:55AM

2 x disc version ordered.
Had to order both seperately.

Store collection not available.

Fingers crossed now for November.

Nothing crazy it's just spiderman miles morales bundled with a spiderman remaster

Mr Crispy · 17-09-2020 12:56AM

Anyone chuck any accessories into their order while they were at it?

You are garanteed nothing.
Nobodies know what will happen in a few weeks time.
They could be sold out worldwide
demand might not be met.
SMyths will simply not charge you.
No comeback whatsoever.

You were only able to order one thing at a time.
I ordered a 2nd controller and headset in another 2 orders.
