I just got the money to buy one, I plan on hitting the Square at 8.30 and seeing if I can get one? Will it work?

Virgin in the Crescent shopping centre who just opened in Limerick got 10 in which they are selling on first come first serve basis from 9.30am tommorrow. Although Tescos in the centre is open 24 hours the rest of centre is cordened off until around 7am. However the various doors around the centre open between 6.10 and 6.25. Found a security guard this evening who told me which door was opening first, so I plan to drive over there at 5am and queue up. Hope there is no gougers who turn up and decide to intimidate people.

Passed Game in Dawson St on my way home tonight @ 12-ish. Queue of about 50 people waiting outside.
Doubt there'll be any in the shops tomorrow.
Next weeks shipments will probably be pre-ordered from tomorrow too.

That's mad... Have they not pre-ordered?

I was called by Smyths this evening and told that they'll hold my pre-ordered box until sunday for me... which is handy as I'm ill at the moment and don't fancy running into town first thing in the morning.

FYI, Tallaght is actually opening at 8. I have no idea whether you'll get one or not.

All smiths units are gone.

Grr I'm so annoyed, ran into car troubles this evening which meant I never even got to attempt to look anywhere for them. I'll be trying tomorrow morning, relying on public transport. Not too hopeful!

Meh, just walked in and got one with PD0 and a wireless controller. I was only looking for a Core one anyway. I have an xbox and I'm sure xlink kai with support multi

Where did you get it?

I tried Power City this morning but they broke the street date and sold them last night at 9. Can't get one at all now.
