    Anyone here get a call from HMV on Henry St?

    I was told when I ordered that I was the first to order the Zombii U pack, I will be extremely annoyed if I don't get it tomorrow.

    Yeah seems to be an amazon issue shame really as a lot of unhappy customers will now leave a 1 star rating for the console

    Nintendo can't stop them, all they can do is withold stock after the fact. Nintendo havent been able to set their prices since they got done by the EU for price fixing in the late 90's.

    HMV have also said that they will honour the price on preorders, which they are legally required to do under advertising as they had the prices displayed instore

    Bugger. I figured there wouldnt be much hassle in getting one of these for the missus (and kinda me too ;)) for christmas! Now, after reading the comments here, its looking like i'll have to get her something else!

    Why is it that Ireland is getting suck low stock? Is it like that everywhere?

    I confirmed the price with the person over the phone and he said 380 for the zombi U set up, so that's all he's getting at 8am tomorrow morning .........

    otherwise he'll be getting a cricket bat over the head ;)

    This is just the first batch you will easily get one as more batches come in before Christmas also amazon still have them in stock with free delivery to Ireland,I imagine stock will be plentifull everywhere after the initial rush

    Just a heads up to all of you whom I assume will be updating your systems firmware tonight or tomorrow.
    After hearing and reading all the negatives about the slow update download and people bricking their consoles:rolleyes:.
    I can tell you I just updated mine on a pretty average 8MB connection and the whole process took about 55 mins.

    Now it's time to explore;)

    I was in the same frame of mind the last few days, I am sure if you buy it and don't like it there will be a queue of people waiting to buy it for what you paid.

    I can't tell if your joking or not. So just to be on the safe side, he is referring to the cricket bat being used the whole time in Zombie U

    Apologies if you were joking, I'm bad at detecting sarcasm on boards

    Ah I paid extra for it to appear tomorrow, and it bloody better as opposed to the mess with my RATM boxset earlier in the week (also with the delivery address in central London would have expected a quick delivery anyway).
