PS4 Pre-Order Thread! Where are you getting yours?

Do you have to go to the midnight launch? I'm pretty much unavailable until Sunday so would rather pick it up then, but I don't trust them to hold it for me. But seriously the effort of going to the midnight launch, I think it's a bit sad too tbh :pac:

How's it sad? A new console comes out once every 7 years so excitement's pretty fair and after such a long wait people want to get it as soon as they can.

Harvey Norman phoned me to confirm collection Friday!! Also gave me first choice on all stock, games, controllers etc.

Superb customer service in fairness!

Which Harvey Norman was it? Waiting for a call from Kinsale Rd. Cork store

Got the text from snyths on fonthill as well, prebooked on 10th of June so expected to get one, want a solus one.

If I do win one at the Sony comp tomorrow night, I'll be donating my smyths one to temple st hospital, that'll be my good deed for Christmas.

Amazon mailed today to say, ''your package will ship on January 8th 2014.'' (The Knack bundle which STILL says BEFORE Christmas on Amazon)

However, I then get this from a different representative:

I've ordered this bundle too because it said before Xmas, lots of people have contacted Amazon(me included) most have been told it will be delivered before Xmas. Im going to keep the order there until next week, should have a better idea then. I think we'll get them before Xmas myself, once the launch is outta the way we'll see anyway.

Looks like whoever said Smyths was only getting 100 consoles to divide between all their stores was talking out his arse.

Someone said as well that each store was only getting 25 consoles each :rolleyes:

I can tell you that smyths are not getting 100 PS4s on average. We're getting ~25 and the others are the same

Can be traced back to that :pac:

Argos have a sign outside their Blanch store saying they'll have no stock on launch day.

Any info on brown thomas if there defo getting consoles in Friday?

They have all been snapped up, they got 100 in Cork and 100 in Dublin last week, but they were sold out by Saturday and are not getting anymore in, you had to pay on the spot.

My friend said he has nor paid with them n was wondering if they are defo giving them out Friday. He doesn't know whether he'll be getting a cal or not to inform him like gamestop customers

Still no word from Smyths Carrickmines. So not looking good. I was in top 70, and they said they had 90 consoles, so why Chris369 you would be contacted ahead of others, is worrying. Did they really text you?

does anyone know if gamestop accept one for all giftcards?

As far as I know you had to pay there and then to get them, they took a few names in case they were getting more in, but they were telling people yesterday they would not be getting anymore.

Phil_aherne wrote: »

And for those that paid are they defo getting them Friday or will they be sending conformation texts?

They are getting them for sure.
