    Anyone in the Sligo area want to take my pre order off my hands ? Won't be getting it anymore and can't get a refund for it. In Smyths so plenty of good bundles with them

    If they wont refund the money and you are only looking for your deposit back, i would suggest heading down on launch day, you should have no problems getting rid of it then (assuming you are guaranteed one for launch)

    I don't understand this guaranteed for launch day talk! They stopped taking pre orders because stores were running out of pre orders allocated to them. If you pre ordered for launch day and were told when you pre ordered that you would get one on launch you will. I would imagine if this is not the case shops are under some SERIOUS pressure to have enough stock on launch or else there is going to be a S***storm on launch day.

    I was guaranteed in August when I ordered a console on launch day. As was another guy who pre ordered at the same time, in XtraVision.

    How do you perceive the shops dealing with lack of supply with so many pre orders out there??

    I am not taking anything for granted until I am sitting playing my PS4 launch day! I would not trust any company especially if they are guaranteeing pre orders made after SONY's deadline!

    My order was before Sony's deadline.

    Got an email from the saying " Killzone bundles will be divulged in the next few weeks, if you pre-booked a day one PS4 you should receive a call soon from your store about this option."





    Also sent this "I pre ordered my PS4 with XtraVision prior to the cut off point for pre orders in August. I was told in store that I would have my console on launch day. Is this still the case I have heard rumor of there not being enough stock to meet demand.

    Could you please confirm or deny the availability of PS4 pre orders to those who placed a pre order prior to the date when XtraVision stopped taking pre orders."

    And got this response

    "Hi Sam,

    Orders placed before the cut off are fine before Christmas and will be out on release date.

    With kind regards

    XXXXX

    Xtra-vision & HMV,
    Customer Service & Store Support,

    So it would appear XtraVision have enough stock for those who ordered before the cut off date

    'Add to cart' option for Killzone Bundle gone from HN site

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,771 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    I pre-ordered September 16th from gamestop online, I presume that can be cancelled.
    Given that the Killzone megabundle with camera and extra controller is available from Amazon France I can order that instead?

    I suppose that's good in a sense. It means they aren't just senselessly taking a continuous number of pre-orders.

    Reading that it doesn't guarantee a launch model, but will be "fine before Christmas".

    I would hope they have the console "out on release date".

    I was in HN in Waterford at lunchtime. I asked if they had any KZ bundles left to order. The guy told me that I could order one if I wanted but it was not guaranteed to be there launch day. He said that there was a chance I would get one as there was only 3 pre orders for the KZ bundle in the store ,but he said that they where not sure if the bundle was part of the 1st day allocation .

    Just some info for you lads that ordered in HN.

    I have mine through Xtra vision.

    Because they are letting you order the Mega Bundle for €529

    No idea when you will get it though, probably the New Year'ish

    Yehh. I'm getting mine for day 1. I was talking to a manager who told me that head office has been in contact with Sony and that Sony reackons that most of the orders will be fullfilled before xmas ,probably within 2wks of launch, even those orders placed till the end of septemberin Xtra Vision. You might not get the bundles though.

    is there some reason that there selling at a higher price then the 499 or is that 529 with delivery ?

    Shin

    It's €499 in France but we have to pay the higher Irish tax and I think that price was including delivery.

    French VAT is 19.6% meaning that the Amazon are selling it for €417 + VAT

    Irish VAT is 23% so an Irish shop will be selling it for €406 + VAT, but if someone here buys from France we pay the French price of €417 and the higher vat and then there's shipping.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,771 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    It was near the same price to get that Killzone bundle but have 2 games instead of 1, so made sense to get it from Amazon France, more for basically the same money.
    Amazon Germany also has bundles still.
    I wanted Fifa 14.

    If you want the extra controller and camera, it makes sense if you can't get a bundle here.

    Just be wary that amazon.de has a habit of cancelling electronic items that are being sent outside of Germany just before they are due to be dispatched, the French site could be the same, a lot of people had issues getting the Samsung Ativ sent over here when it was a bargain alert.
