    Keep trying folks. Don't stop until the site comes back up stable and it's CONFIRMED that they are gone. These server-side connections could still be in the queue.

    I tick the Terms & Conditions and click Place Order. It turns grey and nothing happens. URL has not changed either. Should I refresh?

    Well that was an experience. Crashed about 3 times ordering, then about 5 times getting to basket, about 5 more times getting to payment and then took may 20-30 refreshes for the payment to go to confirmation! Luckily the email came in straight away otherwise I wouldn't have believed it.

    got one as well - I had the same issue on the order page.

    Clicking it turned grey.

    Keep refreshing it when it happens, it went through eventually.

    Has anyone not gotten their confirmation email yet? My Order section says I have an order that went through at 11:58 but no email yet, lots of people saying they have emails almost instantly?

    and the rest.... some people on this thread put down money last year in gamestop

    They've taken on way more than they can fulfill, it's going to be a mess.... Also given their financial situation, I'd say they simply won't care about the negative impact that the impending backlash will have on them because in the short to medium term they're history....

    In short, i'm not saying don't go with gamestop, just be cautious because the warning signs are there

    All this about Gamestops financial situation is nonsense by the way. They have over 650 million euro in cash.

    They're not going anywhere soon but yes they have bit off more than they can chew here with Irish pre orders.

    The first clue you have that it's gone through is the payment acceptance URL (or something along those lines). Keep refreshing and there's a good chance you'll get the confirmation page and then the email.

    Got mine about 7 mins afterwards so you'll likely get it, check your order history, if it's in there should be grand.

    Well, I put 50 quid deposit in Gamestop also. ut late enough so I doubt I'll get anything anytime soon. If I do then I'll offer it up here. ANYTHING to keep cash away from scum scalpers.

    Remember folks, the serveris also hosting UK so that server is getting its b0ll0x kicked. But for everyone so it doesn't mean they are all gone. Just means it's having load issues.
