Hmm, no confirmation email for me yet, just the “boys are having a look out back for you” message. Dont let me down gamestop

I ordered to collect at the liffey St store. I ordered at 6:03 last night. That shop closes at 6. Just got a mail saying they're out of stock and they've cancelled my order. Utter Dicks.

I'll see if I can order online from smyths and collect in store at lunch.

Last year I ordered a headset from them the week before Xmas and paid extra for 2 day delivery to my office. Took three weeks to deliver because the courier they use doesn't deliver to offices over the holidays because the office might be closed.I'm never using them again.

I got my confirmation email this morning. But I had one reserved in Argos in Naas, just in case. Once I actually have the GameStop one in my hand, your welcome to the Argos reservation code, if it's any good to you

harvey norman advertising they'll price match black friday deals - so should be plenty of opportunity to get in on the deals

TPM · 23-11-2018 10:57am

I received an email this morning thanking me for collecting my order but I havent collected it

coolclogher · 23-11-2018 11:07am

double the on-board storage is the difference.. and maybe the fifa editions might differ from one bundle to another also

edit: Titzon beat me to it

Thanks for the offer but I live in maynooth, work in smithfield and don't drive

cletus · 23-11-2018 11:25am

Well, I have the console in my sweaty little paws, and Grayson can't use my Argos code, so if anybody else could make use of it, let me know. If there's more than one, I'll give it to the first response

TPM · 23-11-2018 11:25am

RE Order collected emails
just got through to the store by phone (after 18 attempts)
##### DONT PANIC########
THE STAFF PICKED AND PROCESSED THE ORDER FIRST THIN THIS MORNING BEFORE OPENING THE STORE AS THE ORDER EXPIRES AT CLOSING TIME
They were helpful and said once it was processes it could be collected after the order expires, and confirmed my complete order is set aside with my name on it.

mind you i still wont be delaying in picking it up

Grayson · 23-11-2018 11:37am

It's still showing as available for click and collect in Liffey st. Which meant they have crappy stock controls systems.

My workmate who sits beside me ordered the same deal, 10 minutes after I did, from the same shop, and he hasn't got any mails yet.

Grayson · 23-11-2018 1:04pm

Just ordered it from smyths. Took 10 minutes to get a text message saying the order is ready for collection.

My mate next to me, who ordered at the same time I did last night, still hasn't gotten his confirmation mail from gamestop. That's a really bad show from them.

Gamestop website wont let me fulfil payment transaction. kicking me out saying issue with card details despite it being correct and operational

Check your phone.
Same happened to me, but AIB had blocked the transaction.
Was ok once I replied.
With black Friday, the banks probably have their automated fraud software on lower thresholds.

yep but he is comparing PS4 to PS4, not PS4 to PS4 Pro

Grayson · 23-11-2018 2:25pm

Popped down to smyths to pick up my preorder. My friend (the guy who ordered with me last night and still hadn't received confirmation) left me there and walked to liffey st to check on his gamestop order. Just as he got there he got the mail from gamestop cancelling the order. He came back to smyths, joined me in the queue and bought it there.

Neither of us are going near gamestop again.

Canonfan · 23-11-2018 2:38pm

Hi may i ask is Red Dead Redemption 2 game hard copy or digital download. Thanks.

Argos deals very disappointing. They are 229 against gamestop and smyths deals of 199

BobMc · 23-11-2018 3:12pm

and no paypal option available on some items on Gamestop today

I have Red Dead on the XB1 so I bought the fifa pro. There was a disk on the box.

spockety · 23-11-2018 4:04pm

Can anyone tell me what the big deal is about Gamestop for this? Seems like a lot of hassle when you could just get the same deals and more certainty from Smyths or Argos? Do they have a loyalty programme or something?

No big deal really. It's just that the Gamestop prices got leaked fairly early and they also put their deals live before anyone else.

Yes I ordered and paid for the PS4 pro 2 days ago at the black Friday price before any of the other stores confirmed pricing

sternn · 23-11-2018 5:08pm

I collected my PS4 from Agros today. No hassle - loads of stock. Same prices as Gamestop.

What deal is that for?

Gulliver · 23-11-2018 6:19pm

Is there any point in paying the extra for the Pro this late in the PS4's lifespan?
Still have my trusty PS3 and was looking to upgrade. Should I just buy a slim and wait for PS5 to spend more?

Depends if you want 4K really or if VR is important to you.

For 1080p gaming, the difference between regular and pro PS4 is negligible.

Ace Attorney · 23-11-2018 7:32pm

Does gamestop send dispatched emails when they post stuff? Or is it just the order confirmation mail and thats it.

I got separate order confirmed, processing and dispatched e-mails for something I ordered yesterday from them.

Degag · 23-11-2018 8:24pm

Are the offers likely to last till Cyber Monday?

schmig · 23-11-2018 8:34pm

Bit of a threadjack here, but I'd really appreciate feedback on anyone else's experience with the Spiderman PS4 slim bundle. Picked one up for kids in sale today, paid 249.99 new, decided to check that was intact, opened it to find the following. Are Sony packaging their consoles like this now, or is this a returned console?

Frame rate is often better at 1080p settings on the PS4 pro, giving a smoother more responsive gameplay experience. I could give or take 4k resolution over 1080p resolution... But give me 60fps gameplay over 30fps gameplay any day

The PS4 bundle I got today had the same thing and I had exactly the same thought. Looked like someone had just chucked everything in.

However, the pro is a new model that was just released so extremely unlikely to be a return.

schmig · 23-11-2018 9:26pm

Cheers for the reply. In 18 years of buying consoles from one particular shop, I've had to return all of them (3 in total before this one) due to hardware faults present on day one. Replacement is then perfect and runs for years. Just want to establish whether I have persistent bad luck or Sony are now packaging their goods in this fashion. To be honest I'll remain inclined towards the former until I learn more. Interested in hearing whether anyone else has found unusual packaging. Sorry again about the threadjack folks.

schmig · 23-11-2018 9:41pm

Chatting with someone elsewhere and it seems the packaging is relatively rubbish for slim PS4s in UK and Ireland at least. So that answers my question, cheers.

phobia2011 · 23-11-2018 10:02pm

So how good a deal is this lads, have one reserved in Argos, unsure whether to get it or hold out till Xmas or new year, already have a pro in kids room?

I agree with the last part except when has a fame such a big difference betweeen FPS on PS4?

None I know of anyway.
