Preordered mine in gorey on the 3rd sept. They are saying they will not know for a while. Im starting to doubt it. Which makes me wonder will those who preordered on the gamestop website last night get one before the likes of ourselves?

I’ve a feeling I won’t get it either . The lad didn’t seem too confident .

I should have got one from Smyths last night . Raging I didn’t now either.

Revenue dont give a toss. Theres sellers on Adverts selling 10+ phones a day who have sold a few thousand phones already. Also all the shops in Dublin 1 area sell them without declaring tax through Adverts and Donedeal using their shop names and are paying zero taxes on them.

So doubt a few consoles will be their priority.

ahh your right I don't mind people selling one for even 100/200 more but a joke 500 more and joke chap has 20 pre ordered as well. Just shows they do this in life as well just annoying for normal Joe soaps.

Yeah I doubt you will as I have mine pre ordered since Dec gone in gamestop said he would be highly sure I would get one but can't say 100%

I can't believe people are surprised by Gamestop saying they won't be able to fulfil their preorders. It was absolute foolishness for anyone to go with them for this release.

Stephen.Walsh_ · 17-09-2020 06:18PM

Do we think there’ll be ps5 bundles on release? I remember there being a killzone or knack on in release for ps4

I’ll have to keep a eye out for other places so and just get my €50 back from GameStop so.

Ya I don't like being all I told ya so when comes to this stuff but Gamestop are bunch of *****. There was no way I was going near them. I hope people just get what they ordered. I can't wait to see the back of that place.

For what? You can't pre-order items with Argos here.

Pretty sure people in this thread have confirmed that's UK only. Argos IE just don't work the same way, never have preorders.

FutureGuy · 17-09-2020 06:41PM

Pre-ordered mine back in June. May just play Spiderman MM and sell it on.

If you live near Newry pre order there and get it there at that store

There's an interview with Jim Ryan in the Washington Post, where he's mainly talking about their strategy for PS5. One little snippet is that he says the presence of PS4 versions of Miles and Horizon won't hold back the PS5 versions.

Tbf, he's hardly going to say any different. Could you imagine him saying those versions did hold back the Ps5 versions?

ACitizenErased · 17-09-2020 06:49PM

Haven't really been keeping up with the news to be honest, do I have any chance of picking one up on pre-order or launch day?

Unlikely as the demand for the PS5 is completely unprecedented, way more than the PS4, likely because the lockdowns around the world are keeping people at home more so there's a higher than average demand for computer games. Production is also slower than planned because of the Covid

That mad money

unhappys10 · 17-09-2020 07:13PM

They say in the description it's coming from "a smoke and pet free home", must up the price a bit!

Rickytumtum · 17-09-2020 07:15PM

Did anyone else walk into curry’s and get a pre order? As I posted earlier, I managed to get one about 1.15pm today..paid a fiver cash, got a receipt and kinda blank invoice which basically says customer to collect in store. There is no order number, and only my phone number was taken...it just seems totally devoid of information. Does anyone have any insight into whether it is reliable or not, or is it similar to the GameStop €50 but zero guarantee of anything this side of Xmas? Lady in curry’s was zero help when I preordered and had zero info for me.

curry's can be abit iffy try preorder some were else as well just to be on the save side given perorder open again.

dan786 · 17-09-2020 07:22PM

I wouldnt trust Currys Ireland, they barely get any stock in.

loughrey · 17-09-2020 07:25PM

Currys are basing theirs on a virtual queue rather than closing it once their allocation has finished so no guarantee with them. Only Amazon and Smyths are basing it on allocation so you're practically guaranteed with them if you get your preorder confirmed

Clearly people are bidding with no intention to pay the scalper

Same story with me around 2.30. They were very vague on the date it would be available for collection.

Lads the missus preordered this for me with Gamestop, not realising that they're basically pulling a fast one. Do you know if it's possible to get a refund from them if the preorder isn't fulfilled before Christmas?

On the website it says contact their customer support if you want to get a refund at any stage.

I'll tell you in the next few days. I made a F up also by ordering but I requested a refund this morning when I realised it was them pulling a fast one. They emailed me a support ticket number and said they're reviewing my request.

dan786 · 17-09-2020 07:37PM

Managed to get two at Smyths after 15 cancelled orders last night. Not sure how their system works but finally I can cancel my Gamestop one. I ordered online with them the second it went live so definitely guaranteed on launch but as its GS will not take my chances.
