    I rang Argos in limerick and they aren’t taking pre orders at all but it’s first come first serve they said

    So will Argos be a reserve on the crack of midnight release day then? Might have a chance with them if I can beat the bots

    I put 50 quid down in Gamestop a couple of months ago just in case. I'm 99% sure I won't get a shipment this side of Christmas but I will post here if I do

    They are removing adds daily!

    Thats because you cant sell preorders - not because of their prices.

    Anyone know is it possible to change delivery address with Smyths? Maybe I'm blind but I can't see the option on their site. Would rather have it delivered to my work incase it doesn't get delivered to my house on release date

    Is unlikely you'll get it delivered on release Day if you choose home delivery, more like the following day. That's why collecting from the store is the more desirable option

    Does anyone expect some of the smyths orders to be cancelled , could it be possible they oversold like amazon us? i have my preorder and it's in my order history but terrified that it might get cancelled , i was refreshing so much trying to get the website to cooperate .

    No, they haven't oversold. They were set to close the preorder window once the allocation had been met

    The way its worked before is their system gets updated around about an hour after their shops close. So if they close at 8 on the Wednesday you should be able to order one for collection some time after 9pm.

    I've done it before for game releases on a Friday, was able to order at 10pm on the Thursday.

    People realise you could preorder since June, right? I mean, that was 3 months ago. If you haven’t one, it’s because you left it till the last minute.

    You couldn't really pre-order in June. The only place taking "pre-orders" were Gamestop who were seemingly taking an endless list of their €50 pre-orders, with no actual numbers for day 1. They could have gone through that list over the past few months, I know the 3 times I've been there the past year I've been asked if i wanted to get my name on the list, so they were pushing it

    People here will realise you could pre-order and the best ways to do that, many others won't and will panic in the lead up to Christmas and pay whatever they have to.

    If a 20 or 30 something year old lad buying for himself was to pay over the odds then I wouldn't have an awful lot of sympathy and they won't make up the cases paying the scalpers for the majority of cases

    But the 40 or 50 year old parent who you can't really expect to know the best way to ensure getting it at RRP in time for Christmas, they're being taken advantage of

    You might say that's capitalism and the way the world works, but it's the worst form of it, greed and profit at all costs

    This exact thought stopped me from trying to pre order on the first pre order release. Despite my wife's pushing to pre order.
    I just assumed they'll be bundles with games included we could choose.
    Oh how very wrong I was.

    Won't be anything like that for the foreseeable, maybe in mid 2021 when stock is stable you might see PS5 + select game for €550, but there's no business need for it now, they're going to sell regardless and people ain't going to buy it alone

    I think the PlayStation Plus has a load of games with it for PS5 buyers.

    I don’t have a PS4 so I will be kept busy.

    The only place you could preorder from June was Gamestop. And those people apparently haven't even been told yet if their order is secured. (Which is silly imo, because surely they are ahead of everyone who ordered last week)

    €2 but it has to have a recently released AAA game with it, €3.25 in store credit

    You could preorder since June with the most unreliable retailer in Ireland. And then there were essentially two one hour windows with Ireland's other key retailer supplemented by a few other Irish retailers where all over the place. One of those two windows was in the middle of the night, unannounced.

    So you're just so wrong. On so many levels. And trying to pin it on buyers is shïtty and wholly incorrect.

    Ad was removed anyway. So they are acting on it. Plus selling something you don't actually have is a bit sketchy.

    I looked on eBay. Full of confirmed orders going for £500-600+ .

    I'd like one launch day but if I don't have it I don't mind enough to pay over the odds.

    It doesn't seem to be limited to Ireland, US, watching some youtube vids, was a clusterféck too today for their 2nd batch as well. Overpriced bundles or queue for 2+ days outside a B&M.

    Starting to get nervous that my 4k TV with 50/60HZ refresh rate won't be adequate enough for this. Is anyone buying a new TV or monitor to go with their new console.

    Same 1080p tv I've had for the past 11 or 12 years.
    Have thought of a new tv but will see down the road
