Isn't that all of them?

Looking at the GameStop social media feeds and seeing people talking about being in the hundredth spot in store well before official pre-orders launched yesterday. You’d hope all that has been accounted for, or there could be a very messy situation ahead.

I wouldn't trust GameStop TBH.

That Gamestop situation has been a disaster waiting to happen for months now, they shouldn't have been taking €50 from people without official pre-orders.

Gamestop are going to take every 50 euro note given to them. I feel for the staff who'll have to deal with the inevitable cluster that'll follow.

I managed to secure a digital version on the home delivery option with Smyths last night.

If I had to guess, there will be more available over the coming days. I'd say they are putting them up in batches and ensuring everything is adding up etc. They are probably awaiting confirmation from suppliers on numbers etc.

Smyths opened up for pre-orders at midnight and sold out pretty quick.

Amazon opened up at 9AM and are sold out already.

You could try Game.co.uk or Gamestop.ie

I've just put one in my basket on Amazon this very minute. Keep checking as they are still available.

Nevermind, found it in the description

Purchase of this does not guarantee a console prior to the end of 2020. This deposit can be refunded by contacting hello@gamestop.ie should you change your mind.

corcaigh07 · 17-09-2020 09:50AM

Ordered the digital console with a free trial of Prime. If I cancel that before the end of the trial, will it be sent as Standard?

Zero-Cool · 17-09-2020 09:51AM

50 quid to join a queue with no guarantee. South Park Randy sized balls.

Pay 50 quid to join a queue for getting your 50 quid back.

Think one of the most annoying things is you know that a lot of these preorders have gone to scalpers

I genuinely think that there should be down payments on preorders, of at least 100 or 200 and limited to one per household, per card, per person.

I was lucky enough to get one last night but there was nothing stopping me registering a few accounts and preordering loads.

I've got one pre-orderd with Smyths and one with Amazon.

I'm keeping one and the other will go to my nephew.

If my sister has one pre ordered, the other PS5 I've promised to a mate at cost price.

Making a killing off things like this is proper scummy, IMO.

No, you still have priority delivery with the non-prime purchase so you are ok even if you revert to a non-prime account.

I think it's safe to say...we'll let you know when preorder will happen. It's not going to happen with a minute's notice. We're going to at some point let you know when you can preorder PlayStation 5. So, please, don't feel like you have to go run out and line up anywhere until you receive official notice on how that will work.

Loads of people missed smyths mail last night, currys is nowhere to be seen, nothing from argos. Sony dropped the ball and we have to deal with it. As much as I hate that Gamestop practice for some it will be some peace of mind that at least are in queue.

ps. my story is that got ps4 and switch from gamestop at the time when could not get it in smyths so I'm willing to take what the offer for now nothing since there is no other alternative.

Maybe he could combine postage on this with his used nose hair trimmer

Atomic Pineapple · 17-09-2020 10:04AM

Smyths actually sent out a mail? I was registered for that notification and never got anything!

GavRedKing · 17-09-2020 10:04AM

Hes got 710 offered already,f**k me.

He’s honest on that front at least - it happened without even a minute’s notice :pac:

Yea it is a shame. I have technically had 4 pre-orders of it already, I have cancelled 2 of them. Now have 1 with Smyths and 1 with Amazon. I am keeping the Amazon pre-order just incase my Smyths one is cancelled, but I will let it go before they charge me.

I could have easily had 3 spare consoles to resell if I wanted to.
