    Have Gamestop completely given up on offering any type of deal for us poor souls who ordered online with them? Rather just get my pre-order with PlayAsia etc instead of waiting for Gamestop to offer some type of deal/discount.

    I have an X1 preordered with Amazon since September and tried this week to change the address to the Parcel Motel Antrim address and it won't let me. Keeps saying error. The help chat says they have to cancel the order to change the address but then I won't get the Forza bundle I have pre-ordered.:mad::mad:

    I've heard nothing at all but I will say one thing, when they ship out my PS4 I'm done with them. Amazon and VGP all the way from now on.

    I'm the exact same, odds are that whatever discount they (might) offer would just be a tenner off a game, so it'd still be cheaper to go with VGP.

    Sent this two weeks ago:

    Guys,
    I found out very recently that you will not be giving customers who placed online orders for the PS4 a chance to upgrade to a bundle. I am disappointed with this, will you be offering anything else to compensate for this?
    Kind Regards
    Paul.


    Got this response:

    Hi Paul

    We gave these consoles to customer who pre ordered early. We never offered it to our customers in any other way so there is no need for compensation.

    Kind Regards
    Conor

    when did you place the pre-order? They were guaranteeing pre-orders last week on Killzone bundle and I got one of them.. they'd hardly promise stock without knowing that they'll defo get it!

    I ordered online last Feb and have still not received any confirmation, have emailed them twice requesting an update and still nothing back.

    Never again will I give Gamestop another cent. I already ordered a few PS4 games from VGP and they work out about €49 inc P&P. much cheaper than GS.

    Christ what utter bull**** from them, you could order weeks beforehand in store before they offered them online.

    16th of September. Went back in a few weeks ago to try change to the killzone bundle and was told they'd stopped taking orders. Even when I made the pre order I was told chances were slim but last when I tried to upgrade I was told I should be fine. Same bloke both times.

    It seems to me they don't really have a clue what they're at tbh

    If amazon states delivery 29-30 nov will they actually deliver on the 30th which is a saturday?

    It is ridiculous here, I know I keep mentioning it, but confusion of the level we are having with stores here is not happening in mainland Europe, they were ruthless with cut off points for pre orders and are sticking to their guns with dates of when new batches will be released, you only have 1 million consoles available at launch outside the US till January, it will be chaos on launch day here.

    Not in Ireland, unless you use Parcel Motel with their UK address.

    When would you say I get the delivery. Never ordered from amazon before. Would the friday be possible or is that when it leave the uk?

    After reading on here that HN seem to have no plans for any more post release stock this side of xmas it just seems like they're trying to get in as many pre orders as they can, take your 20 yoyo's and say good luck in the knowledge that you'll likely not get one and wont bother coming back!

    Its all gonna make for one interesting 29th

    Well I have free one day shipping as part of Amazon prime . amazon telling me it will be launch day delivery. If it gets to parcel motel before lunch it will be down in and around Dublin that night.

    GTA arrived a few days before official release but I doubt something like that'll be let happen again

    If they weren't going to offer anything I wish they'd just say it now and be done with it, dragging their heels this close to launch is a joke.

    Think I'll go with VGP as well. Seems to be well recommended by people on here.

    It is a very good site, just be warned that unless they change their DLC policy which makes it region locked, you will not be able to trade in your game to the likes of Gamestop as they know it is a not a EU copy.

    You can get a free month's trial with Amazon Prime, you should get it for launch using that. After that I think it will depend on what type of postage you use, the cheapest postage options means it may not come till Monday.

    Decisions decisions...

    I have a solo pre-ordered with HN guaranteed to 99.9% for launch day...

    OR

    Amazon del 29th-30th mega bundle with no idea when it will show up...

    Which one do I stick with?

    I would have more faith in Amazon, HM have been all over the place in what they have been telling customers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,017 ✭✭✭Lucreto


    Just looking at Gamestop's facebook page and someone went of a rant about no bundles for online customers and gamestop replied.
    Unfortunately there was no way for us to the switchover order without losing your place for a console. We chose to not do it then as most people would prefer to be still able to get the console at launch.

    I say BS if Amazon/GAME etc can do it without any problem they should too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,805 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    I'd go with Amazon, at the very, very worst you'll have it for Monday. Although you should have it by Friday with Prime (or if you go with ParcelMotel you could have it Saturday). It's hard to know what HN are gonna do on launch day, they seem to be guaranteeing a lot of consoles but don't seem to have any real structure in place.

    If you've chosen express then you have a reasonable chance of getting it Friday. If not then it'll be Monday, pretty sure it'll dispatch Thursday.

    Well, did you have to put down a deposit with HN? if so it may be non refundable in which case you might not have a choice.

    Pilot11 must be a second account owned by the seller. Spouting some ridiculous nonsense on there
