Well that was an experience. Crashed about 3 times ordering, then about 5 times getting to basket, about 5 more times getting to payment and then took may 20-30 refreshes for the payment to go to confirmation! Luckily the email came in straight away otherwise I wouldn't have believed it.

Smyths must've gotten a good few PS5, its still showing as available on the site

Lodwick · 25-09-2020 12:13PM

Yay got one! That was so painful!

lordlame · 25-09-2020 12:13PM

got one as well - I had the same issue on the order page.

Clicking it turned grey.

Keep refreshing it when it happens, it went through eventually.

Kanney · 25-09-2020 12:14PM

Are ye refreshing if the Place Order goes grey and nothing happens? or how loong you waiting

ian.f · 25-09-2020 12:14PM

Has anyone not gotten their confirmation email yet? My Order section says I have an order that went through at 11:58 but no email yet, lots of people saying they have emails almost instantly?

25-09-2020 12:14PM

Same problem. Greyed out.

corcaigh07 · 25-09-2020 12:14PM

Got it for Click and collect! Nice one. Wear out the F5, people!

Got my email a few minutes after it placed, maybe like 2-3 mins not 15+

and the rest.... some people on this thread put down money last year in gamestop

They've taken on way more than they can fulfill, it's going to be a mess.... Also given their financial situation, I'd say they simply won't care about the negative impact that the impending backlash will have on them because in the short to medium term they're history....

In short, i'm not saying don't go with gamestop, just be cautious because the warning signs are there

All this about Gamestops financial situation is nonsense by the way. They have over 650 million euro in cash.

They're not going anywhere soon but yes they have bit off more than they can chew here with Irish pre orders.

do you just wait when the place order button goes grey or F5 >????

sgarvan · 25-09-2020 12:15PM

Eventually after persistance got the preorder confirmation email

Berty · 25-09-2020 12:16PM

Got one, eventually even if the system crashed after I pressed place order, it's in my order history.

€800 for the first person who wants it

Yes

corcaigh07 · 25-09-2020 12:17PM

The first clue you have that it's gone through is the payment acceptance URL (or something along those lines). Keep refreshing and there's a good chance you'll get the confirmation page and then the email.

Got mine about 7 mins afterwards so you'll likely get it, check your order history, if it's in there should be grand.

TheIrishGrover · 25-09-2020 12:18PM

Well, I put 50 quid deposit in Gamestop also. ut late enough so I doubt I'll get anything anytime soon. If I do then I'll offer it up here. ANYTHING to keep cash away from scum scalpers.
