yup I feel awful for the staff, they are going get a load of abuse for the companies stupidity

Well I hope Gamestop are motivated enough to do something about it, and if they really have no way in hell to get more consoles, find some other way to compensate those of us in "not now or soon, maybe sometime next year?" pre-orders.

Companies have to face accountability, this isn't the wild west.

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

Would make sense I guess, save any messy refunds just in case they have oversold "cough cough Gamestop"

They have been taking unofficial pre-orders for over a year, literally all they care about here is getting that €50 per customer into their bank accounts.

They do not give a **** about their staff or their customers.

A cynical person would wonder if they were just helping to boost revenue to show a profitable business. With the evolution of digital and then covid, can't see how they survive.

To be fair, I think everyone and their dog knows GS won't be here for the PS6 and the XboxTwoXSeriesX2

I hope my GS pre order is for launch. They have quite a good trade in offer for the PS4 Pro.

Anywhere else I could get a good price for the PS4 Pro at the moment?

Price kinda cratered last week. You will get more on adverts than CEX but it will be a lot more hassle. If you don't mind the risk of waiting for the PS5, GS is probably your best bet.

The GS deal appears to be pretty darn good. CEX are offering €163 cash for a 1TB PS 4 Pro. Or €227 in vouchers, which is pretty bad

If they start having to refund so many peoples €50, they may not see too far into 2021.

Say that say make even a little bit on interest. Tho I would like to hear from them to see if I got mine but I would really hate to be staff ringing people telling them they didn't. People will go ape ****

Say that's only for people who pre ordered online. But ones who came into the shop they may only have their mobile

Just checked when did I actually pre - preorder with GS, in light of these emails they've been issuing.

All the way back in January! Seems so long ago now

Heh. I wonder if that's an indirect response to Push Square's video.

I want to like this game was hoping for a bit more throwback to twisted metal, but just looks like fortnite on wheels

quokula

Yeah I don't know what to make of Destruction Allstars. The dev team has great pedigree and the gameplay concept has a lot of potential. But the fortnite rip off characters and style are such a massive turn off. I feel like they'd have shown a bit more proper gameplay footage by now if they had more faith in it too, given that it's one of the few completely exclusive launch titles on either console.

Just doesn't look like a game worth paying full whack for

Mr Crispy

It has "dance emotes".

Apologies in advance if this was answered earlier on in the thread. Are the units Smyths put up for pre-order last Friday guaranteed for release day or a later date?

Release date per the emails sent out, no contradictions so far.

They only sold what they knew they would receive unlike Gamestop who sold the world's entire supply and some!

You're good for launch

Just hoping Smyths send them out so they arrive by Post/Courier on launch day.

If not you'll have it the Friday. Usually out by courier though

If anyone has a pre order with GameStop it's worth checking if they actually took the €50, in my case it appeared as pending in my bank account but never went out. I only noticed when I cancelled my preorder after getting one from Smyth's

A bit more information on Sackboy: A Big Adventure.

https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/09/sackboy_a_big_adventure_looks_adorable_in_new_ps5_gameplay_trailer_special_editions_detailed

I'm delighted that it's ditched the create element. Giving it the platform (no pun intended) to just be a great game to play through could turn it into an excellent little game.

Are many people upgrading their TV for the PS5? Would you say that a TV with HDMI 2.1 and 120hz is essential?

I've got a budget Hisense 4K TV atm, but I might consider an upgrade if it doesn't break the bank

I was going to use an older 4K60 TV I've had for a few years, but it was a cheap-assed model when I bought it, and has gotten far worse with age.

So, if I can scrape the money together, I think I'll invest in something good. I'd love an LG CX, but realistically I'll be shopping at a tier or two beneath that.
