    How long did delivery take from VGP? Did you get charged import tax?

    The longest it has taken me was 9 days, the quickest 7, you do not get charged import tax and customs have never stopped anything, they just say they are cheap dvds on the package

    Fair play to you! They won't be getting another cent from me either. Just this morning I received a few games from VGP that I would have bought in Gamestop.
    The only difference is VGP are much cheaper and have good customer services, not the smart arses GS have on their twitter & FB accounts.
    They really believe that they are doing the customer a favour!

    Exactly! I had a few smart arse replies from the TWITter/FB guy that got my goat and from customer care no straight answers. In store they are great and always have the craic with them but with the price games are these days a bit of craic is not worth 60 quid!

    Just canceled all my game pre orders with GameStop over no bundles offers for online customers.

    There were no apologies or any incentives to continue being their customer even though I have been querying bundles since August! It may seem trival but when u spend so much money at GS for years and are a serious gamer all your life then a console launch comes along once a decade it means a lot to you.

    Can you post a copy.

    I sent then an email yesterday to give them one last chance to not be a bunch of bastards, going to give them until they reply or tomorrow early before I cancel outright.

    Also cancelled all my game pre-orders with them aswell, the ps4 console will be the last penny they ever get out of me,shocking customer service.

    Can I ask why you assumed you would get the megapack, did they ring you beforehand and offer one to you ?

    They had my missus number, not mine, when she mentioned to me it was the KZ pack I told her to go ahead with it as I assumed it was the 500 quid mega bundle, as I didn't know any other KZ bundle actually existed until today!

    Had I of known this last week I could have got my Mam to get all the accessories separate in NYC....

    She did say she would take KZ as a trade back even though I heard elsewhere they wouldn't as I have no interest in it tbf....

    Has anyone who ordered with Smyths, heard if their getting Ps4 yet. If so, who would I ring to find out. Can't find a number anywhere. I ordered in Carrickmines early August. Also I got text about FIFA ps4, and don't particularly want to buy, if I don't get console.

    Thanks all.

    amazon chat just told me it will be shipped thursday for friday delivery.

    Don't believe them. They only shipped my X1 pre order now and put the delivery date back to Monday. Why they didn't ship yesterday is beyond me.:mad:

    What delivery option did you choose?

    Someone in the Xbox equivalent of this thread posted that Amazon shipped his Xbox today. It is marked on UPS as delivery guaranteed next business day. So that is tomorrow.

    They sent it by UPS though, so I'm going to keep an eye on the tracking number tonight and see does it make any progress. Depending on them it could still just make it by tomorrow evening.

    Think that only applies to UK addresses, I know UPS are quick, I've gotten airsoft guns from Hong Kong to my front door in 3 days with them many times so here's hoping.

    Just back from gamestop Tallaght - Just have to turn up on the night with my receipt and a photo id.

    I'm fully paid off so don't know if you have to pay off before midnight next week.

    That must be with the free supersaver 3-4 day delivery option. If he bumps that up to the 2 day option he should get it sooner.

    The basics nothing special I think just Netflix and a you tube app, the now tv app won't be on it until the summer even though it's on ps3 now.

    At launch, Netflix. Youtube and more should be added later. Don't know if and when RTE player will be.

    Sony are just about games for launch and the rest will be added over time.

    Does anyone know graphically what the best ps4 game will be , killzone?
