Gamestop in limerick playing up now.
Saying today only geting 100 ps4s for launch.. despite assuring preorders

I have said it from the start, all stores oversold their preorder quota, they should not of waited till the 20th of July to stop taking them and saying that people were guaranteed a launch day console, when they were sold out the stock they should've stopped, I know for a fact they had a estimated figure of what they would be getting for launch, you're looking at people who ordered in February, March and April the only guaranteed people, after that your chances decrease week by week.

I have preordered on Amazon as a backup. If I select a bundle today, can I still cancel the order before its dispatched?
Much as I'd love 2 PS4's and all

The worst part about it all and thankfully I ordered in store but I know a lot of people here ordered theirs online from Gamestop, if they are short of consoles in store, they will take them from the online preorder pool, only due to the fact they will not have to deal with those customers face to face.

well the chap in gamestop in Waterford told me when I paid off the mega bundle on Tuesday that I now can sit back and relax

hopefully that's a good sign

No, all online pre-orders are on an electronic list as they were placed. Had a good long chat with the manager in my local gamestop and he explained in great detail and with how many staff doing what and how the warehouse for online orders works.

Online pre-orders are shipping 24hrs before the shops can sell their stock to make day one deliveries.

I know they should not, but it could happen, with Gamestop nothing surprises me anymore.

Without evidence this may happen then there is no need believe it will happen.

I wonder how much knack will be on the store.

Not near my console, but have a check yourself, Knack and Warframe have been available for pre order on the Store since yesterday.

Oops only in the US Store, but they are $59.99 on that.

And then online customers cancel their orders as we've paid nothing and go elsewhere, it's retail customers who're stuck with Gamestop.

The crap thing for Gamestop to do is fulfil online orders and get that money and leave shops short as they've already paid some or all at this point.

bennyl10 · 17-10-2013 07:32PM

oh and also re:Watchdogs bundle, Gamestop today are over to switch them over to Assassins Creed instead.
It's that or nothing as they were out of Killlzone bundles.

what about driveclub getting delayed til Spring 2014 ?

I'm a bit disappointed as it was going to be free with PS+. Either Sony is going to replace it with another PS4 game or you can pick it up later on PS+. Personally I hope you can pick it up at a later date for free as although I would not buy the game on its own I would like to own it compared to some of the other PS4 games.

curryman · 17-10-2013 08:39PM

Two games in two days delayed till 2014 both of which i was going to get man this sucks

Its a rumour going around. But it looks to be pretty accurate. NeoGaf and Kotaku seems to be getting behind it.

Same here. A bit disappointed. Well I hope it still comes out on PS+ for free than being replaced with another game.

I ordered from Amazon on the same day and also got the bundle choice yesterday. I don't expect to get it before xmas though. I'm happy to wait and if I wanted it sooner I would have pre-ordered it earlier in the year.

Presume you can cancel your Amazon order anytime before dispatch?

No back in June but was told they got hardly no bundles only 9 mega and I think 10 of the normal Killzone.

Driveclub confirmed to be pushed back

Im with smyths aswell, 35th on the list. (ordered in July)

I've went in a couple of times in passing to gauge exactly how "guaranteed" I am to be getting my consoles, only to be receive mixed response each time I go in - from people saying I'm definitely guaranteed one on launch day, to we can't guarantee anything but my place on the list is very promising *wink* *nudge* to other flat out refusing to guarantee anything.

Heck, Some have even told me they'll definitely be holding a midnight launch to other saying they don't know or they doubt it. :rolleyes:

So i'm getting fairly mixed response but overall I reckon I should be safe as they sayid they'd be expecting to get a few consoles in (50-60).

However, If I don't end up with a console on launch day due to an "administrative error" on their part or something like that, I'll be fairly pissed off :mad:

I'm about 80% confident at this stage but time will tell...

35th? I would be so confident I am afraid to say unless it is a huge Symths.. I am 13th and not confident in case they just get 10 machines.

Did you get that text to come in and pick up your bundle?
