I think the problem there is the meetup will be a no show after the 500 is dropped on paypal or whatever.

Meetup would suggest paying in person of course.

So I got it guys, really excited to fire it up but more excited about going to bed at a decent time instead of staying up refreshing multiple pages ha.

I'll still keep an eye out for everyone and post if it's worth it. Happy hunting and I'm sure in a couple of weeks everyone will be happy.

Fair play Vinny. Where did you get sorted for a finish?

Edit: ah, Carlow.

Just a heads up for anyone who preordered with GameStop....the placeholder date on my preorder queue just changed from 29/01/2021 to 31/03/2021. I made the preorder on 17th September, and others in the same position as me has had theirs changed too.

m8051 · 22-01-2021 12:54pm

There has been several drops from different big retailers in Spain (MM, Fnac), have the feeling Amazon will have some stock available ...

Wow.. terrible.

Funnily enough one of my mates got a digital early December even though he only pre-ordered it the week before. Maybe it was a mix up or because it was a digital one, who knows.

He'd a load of angry messages from his own friends fecking Gamestop out of it :pac:

m8051 · 22-01-2021 12:57pm

Any news from Currys, Argos, HN or Smyths?

There doesn’t seem to be any consistency there in terms of fulfilling orders by date...also I find it baffling that people say they put preorders down in the Summer before the price was announced, and yet my local GameStop wouldn’t let me?

just guna cancel my preorder with them, absolute disgrace of a company.

My local took their first preorder roughly 2 years before the release of the ps5. They said up to the preorder day they had approx 12 orders.

Gamestop when lockdowns hit turned it into a nightmare by lumping all stores into 1 master list and people were pushed further down the queue.

I had both the PS5 and Xbox preordered with them. I got an xbox on release in argos and I had an update at the start of december to say I was getting one before christmas. A week before christmas they then emailed to say it will be some stage 2021 so I went straight in and cancelled both preorders.

would you guys be better off keeping your pre-order in the event some miracle happens and they get them in early. on the other hand, if you did secure a PS5 from somewhere else, surely you could use your pre-order for a friend/family member.

not sure how the pre-order with Game worked so could be talking out of my A$%e

No you’re actually right to be fair. As much as I’d like to cancel out of anger there’s still no guarantee of getting one from somewhere else before then. Like I would be raging now if I couldn’t get one between now and the summer and the preorders ended up being good for say March or April.

puzl · 22-01-2021 1:56pm

If you're on a preorder list stay in the queue.. it's impossible to get back onto it again and who knows when supply will start to meet demand.

Do yes think if I went down to currys in navan I might be lucky

Yeah, I mean loads of other people have posted here that they tried that exact store and had no luck but you might!

In all seriousness nobody here can answer that, if it's within your 5KM just buzz down, try your luck and keep us posted.

I got sorted with the xboxes I needed for friends etc so it was no use to me at all and cancelling it freed up a space (I also had it fully paid off so getting my money back at christmas was better than waiting).
I also got a ps5 in the last smyths drop and hn for family so again moving a person up on the list by cancelling so someone that did need one got one

i had emailed them to cancel and moan at them, they replied saying its only a guide date now and could easily change in the coming weeks, so decided to stay on the queue just incase.

I was resigned to wait until June and avoid all the chaos as I missed getting one for Christmas - however... the Resident Evil 8 demo for PS5 that dropped on the PS store has changed all that - I’m now like a junkie looking for a fix - hoping Harvey Norman or Smyths drop soon and I’m lucky enough to get an order in

Agreed, that trailer / demo was just crazy!

The_Brood · 22-01-2021 4:32pm

I would also absolutely love, just love to cancel my preorder and not even urinate to put out a fire on whatever disgraceful charlatans are running gamestop...but I see no hope in getting the ps5 from any other place faster.

kkontour · 22-01-2021 6:06pm

Called in at lunchtime today, like you say they had some during the week but sold out instantly, so I was told.
