Likely places to get a PS4 without a Pre-order

you clearly don't know how argos works



we got 5 ps4s in yesterday
go online and try reserve them you can't because staff can see when their going to be on the argos system and then they reserve it through the argos system so the public have 0 chance to get any
we did not even voice any of the ps4's away so their never going to be available to the public unless we make it so
good luck with trying to reserve it at midnight though let me know how that works out for ya :L

Hopefully notice comes in from head-office advising staff are not allowed to preorder any consoles

Seen it happen

Ha, call me petty, but I've already done it. It made me strong and powerful.......like an Argos employee with access to a PS4.

Did you even use that before you posted it?

Went down to Dundrum, Tesco will have 6 on a first come first serve basis. Shutters open at 6am. Argos in Dundrum say they will have 3 or 4 also first come first serve but given the attitude of some employees already shown in this thread there is also a good chance you could queue up and they may have none.

The average stock seems to be around 4-8 for many places, some less than 4 and some around 10. Its a pain, many places in the UK have secured stock of between 30-40 to sell on a first come first serve basis. Looks like queueing up overnight is the only way if you really want it and even then there is little point staying if you head somewhere and there is about 10 people already there or so. I might swing by a few hours before they open, if I am lucky and nobody is there I will wait, if people have beaten me to it then so be it.

Im in limerick, looks like argos has reserved all stock in munster, they said all they had was the package for €529 but these have been reserved! Wish i preordered it from the start, its only now that they are coming out tomorrow i really want one! Anyone kno where to get hold of one in limerick area??

Lies! Guys in cork 1st come 1st served!

xbox one can be ordered for collection from argos for 3rd december -5th.so hopefully it will be just as easy for the ps4 in a weeks time?

Passed by the Argos in Blanchardstown today and they had this sign in the window.

Crap.

Does anyone know when they will likely have stock after launch day? Would you be able to grab one before xmas

Tesco extra opened in Newry a few months ago.

but it's not on the PS4 midnight launch list...

Doesn't make sense that the retailers don't really know how many they are going to get and when they're going to get them, so much confusion!
