    For people that pre ordered in Gamestop brick and mortar, have they contacted anyone yet about whether they are day 1 etc?

    Upgraded two weeks ago to KZ mega bundle - approx 60 on the list.

    I think I got someone elses mega bundle as I was in the store at the exact time they went onto the system.

    My amazon order status changed from 'Pre Ordered' to 'Not yet dispatched'!

    My Amazon France order - the mega bundle is at "Pas encore expédié" which is not yet shipped.
    But it says for orders after October 14th not to expect it before January which is fine.
    So kinda hopeful Amazon France will ship this, says (English translation) We will notify you by email when we have an estimated delivery date.

    If they get 20 consoles in you will get one, if not you will have to wait, the big stores have been telling people here they are getting around 20 on launch, the smaller ones 10, but that could still change.

    Hmm strange I didn't get any call and was told I was day 1. Better call in and check!

    So I went to my local Gamestop (Wilton, Cork) and asked about bundles etc. I was told that they were not ringing people up and letting people change their orders as it would get messy and if people changed their minds they would have to be put to the back of the list etc. So it's first come first serve for day 1 people on the 29th as there will be no midnight launch either apparently. A reason to queue maybe! I don't know why it would be different from most other Gamestops though unless the local managers have final say.

    I asked where I was on the list and he pulled out a bunch of A4 pages full of names and I was on second page and told I am guaranteed day 1 thankfully (17th June pre-order).

    Depends on the Smyths. They should have contacted you about what bundle you want and told you then. If it's smyths fonthill, you're grand, I'm way further down and was told I'd get one on release day

    Amazon order is still for the base PS4 and changed to not yet dispatch, also have a Gamestop online order but I'm hoping I get the bundle from amazon.

    depends on the store really but I would say your chances are good. Did they contact you about choosing a bundle?

    I'd imagine the reason for there being no midnight release is because the shop is in a shopping center that closes early enough. Just a guess. I wont mind as I would rather sleep and then spend all day Friday with the console :)

    There was a midnight release for GTAV but I think it's probably because they would need to hire a lot of security since there will be thousands of € worth of hardware and software being bought and people would be at risk to getting mugged. There's no lights outside the shopping centre and if you have to walk around it to get to tesco car park its pitch black.

    Do not touch them, they are currently being investigated by trading standards and have stated they do not have any consoles left.

    Check out my earlier post on them, not doing it up again http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=87203404&postcount=2358

    You should know by the 4th unless you ordered really recently; they'll be updating bundle orders as well then.

    O OH!!!! :eek:. That doesn't sound good, even though i was told by customer services that i will have it for Christmas, don't care about launch day, as long as i have it for christmas.

    I ordered on the 19th of this month.

    About to cancel my X1 pre-order with Amazon, so I'm officially transitioning from my trusty Xbox 360 to the PS4.

    It's going to be strange having a PS as my main console again.

    Got my call this morning from Gamestop parkway to upgrade to the Killzone bundle delighted 2 controllers Killzone, Camera and im buying Fifa aswell, quite happy with that as it gives me exactly a month to pay of the other 100 quid, Say what ya like about Gamestop but they've been nothing but positive for me , He also told me that they didn't get many bundles because of the watch dogs one being cancelled and thats why they were so long getting there allocation too
