    Won't let me past without UK mobile number. Do you just throw in any random number to get past it?

    07761231234 normally gets through, wonder who the poor sod in the UK with that mobile number is :eek:

    Smiths had more allocations on saturday but I forgot to check their page on Friday for updates. My uncle has an Expert Electrical in Cork so maybe he can get one but I doubt it.

    Parcel motel, if you take the up to €1,000 increased liability would be over €10 anyway the £6.99 shipping directly to ROI is a better deal as it's with DPD anyway.

    Imagine putting down €50 8 months before release and being told you are not getting one. Gamestop are the ****ing worst.

    Ebay should ban the people selling pre-order confirmations for up to €1000. Literally just worth waiting until after Christmas and buying the console 2nd hand from all the CoD rage quitters that don't want it anymore

    Seems to do that if you try and get it delivered here. Use a N. Ireland or UK address.

    Whatever about individuals scalping (which is scummy enough) but when shops like CEX do it, it drives me mad. The time the PSVR was in short supply you couldn't get one as people were snapping them up and walking right into CEX to sell for €50 profit.

    Just seem to have bagged one from the Game link posted a few pages back, used parcel motel.

    Have the order confirmation number through but they didn't take payment? Do they not take it until its shipped?

    Smyths aren't taking any money until it dispatches. Could be the same.
