Well Lads,

Place an order in HMV Dundrum the day they (re)opened in September. Was inthere yesterday and asked was there any update on the PS4 as haven't heard anything. They said they didn't know what the story was at all. They are totally in the dark.

Anyone hear anything different or have an update??

Thought that they were not getting any in till next year?

Just been speaking to Game stop in Wexford . They are NOT doing their own bundles .

They said the best offer they will have will be buy two games get the third half price .

So having been told on numerous times by gamestop they will be doing their OWN bundles they have once again shifted the posts.

Fairly pissed off over this as the bundles sony have out im not interested in.

So just going to order my games from elsewhere .

At least you had some sort of bundle option unlike the poor online customers.

My missus placed a order in the one in Liffey valley the day it re-opened too and she was told she would get one in the second batch.

I was in with them a couple of weeks ago and they said the same thing .

Well I didn't really as I didn't pre-order to August . But none of sonys bundles interested me so I was always going for FIFA, NBA 2K14 and need for speed and a extra controller.

I have my PS4 with XV. I'm glad that the Xbox one lads are gonna beta test the service with Xv for us PS4 lads. Let them phone Joe Duffy and the NCA ,they should have it sorted out for us by next thursday night .

Maybe we should start ringing Sony Ireland and complain about XV and let them eat the heads off their head office . Sony have always been great to Irish consumers because we have the highest console integration outside Japan in the world...ever since the PS1 (remember the ps2 ads ,yer woman with the alien eyes and yer man from Dublin, the ads where very Irish).

ps,I do not have the coloured controllers yet,I have them preodered.

I ordered a controller in the 11th from gamestop.co.uk

What's the odds it will be here for launch ??

Using parcel motel for the first time

Got an email from Gamestop this morning saying i'm definitley getting it for today week. They said they are sending it by tracked mail, is that courier or just registered post?

More than likely courier, if it is anything like the XB1 release, you will have it on thursday.

Nope my girlfriends one is sitting somewhere in Galway at the moment, but others who ordered online from Gamestop got theirs early yesterday.

A word of warning for anyone getting their consoles in XtraVision, they made people buy a game or accessory last night before they were able to get their XB1 bundle, they said the same will happen with the PS4, if you do not do it you will not get one.

God that a disgraceful move by them. I mean imagine if you pre ordered months back and only brought the exact amount of money with you, then to be told you can't have it!!. Not on at all.

They had/have a similar policy on sim cards. The sim card is suppose to be free by them but you have to buy top up there before they will sell it to you.

bigron2109 · 22-11-2013 02:23PM

Have decided after Speaking with Gamestop this morning and them constantly changing their story and the way they have treated customers over the past few months, online and in store, that i don't fancy giving them my money for the console and the Games, so i think i will queue up outside tesco next friday morning. But just a quick question

So i was looking on amazon and i can get FIFA 14 and Need for speed for £91.99 which works out at about €110 which is a saving off €20 as Most places have these Games prices at €64.99 .

Just a question, if i order Need for Speed now from Amazon, it says its a pre-order, will i get it on the day off the 29th or will it be after it. Don't want to be left with a PS4 and no games to play.

what? really :S? i planned on bringing nothing with me as i fully paid it off. why the **** should i spend more money on something i dont want just to get a product i fully paid for? bastards!!!!!

I wonder what the legalities of that is. If it is fully paid for then surely you should be able to walk in, collect what is paid for and leave.

I'd kick up an unmerciful **** storm if someone tried it wit me.

hi guys..just found this site (and thread) i have a ps4 on pre-order with xtra vision and im gona go in today to pay the rest off my console...il be asking a few questions about this whole 'buy some extra sh*t or you wont get your console' business to see what they have to say for themselves. ive ordered the games and extra controller i want from shopto.com so if they try to make me buy something else i dont want, ill be phoning their head department whilst im at the counter and asking them what the f*ck is going on and if i dont get the answer i want il just take my money and maybe trash the shop a little bit lol itl mess up my pre order but might give them something to think about and they might change their hustling ways.

Lucreto · 22-11-2013 02:46PM

I was in the Tesco in Naas looking at the Xbox One stuff to see what was there.

As you can see either it was cleared out before I got there at 11.30 or they didn't have very much.

There was no sign they had consoles for sale and no accessories.

After ringing brown Thomas and bought the killzone mega bundle they had 100 consoles on sale today for collection next Friday. Not many left if someone is stuck. Has to be paid in full.

How much ?

Zith · 22-11-2013 03:29PM

Got an update from amazon late last night with a delivery date of 3-4th December for the mega bundle. This was originally ordered 2nd October with super saver delivery. Good stuff!

Xenji · 22-11-2013 03:34PM

Friend of mine went into a different Xtravision at lunch time to get his XB1, same **** was pulled on him and they told him it will also be happening at the PS4 launch, even if he had 2 games pre-ordered with them, he would have to buy another.
