Smyths I'm assuming are going to be fine, It's good to hear you can pay off with them though, was unsure.

Pre-ordred in Gamestop. Asked about how likely I would get it, and was told there weren't that many pre orders yet and if there is bigger demand than supply then it would be first come first serve on the night. Looks like it may the first time I ever spend more than an hour in a queue for amidnight release.

Thats a bit harsh! Gamestop let you pre-order online and dont take any money from your paypal until release day:D

If Smiths go bust, you can put money on it that they'll trade over christmas. So if it happens, it'll be janurary. So your PS should be safe.

How much of a deposit are gamestop looking for to hold one for launch day? Want to reserve in store. Anyone know how much there currently paying for an xbox 360 with kinetic?

curryman

Pre ordered in Smyth's Carrickmines yesterday 32nd on the list

noodler

You people are nuts to be taking the risk by putting substantial amounts of cash down this far away from release date.

I paid €20.00 last Friday, I think that's the minimum they accept. You can then pay it by instalments if you like.

You don't need to actually pay the money til it's released.

Cork24

GameStop in Wilton Shopping Center in Cork, Was told i will have mine at Launch Day as i was within the First Group to Pre-Order. I say every one is going to Smyths..

So i need to book a Day off from Work on that Day, maybe the whole week.. to play what ever games come out on Launch day


What Games are going out that Day ?

Or you'd be an unsecured creditors, and they keep going while not giving you what you're owed.

Thats kinda unfair, you are maybe on the top 20 on the list, and its a first come first serve..

Gamestop where i pre ordered they told me its going by the list that i will get a phone call when my one is in i can then go in and pick it up without having to queue,

Maybe they will phone the first 20 and tell them that they can come in and pick their up on mid Night.

Smyths is definitely NOT going bust, rest assured. Put my pre-order in today and asked if I could pay it off in instalments like gamestop. He said I couldn't though.

preoredered GameStop in Limerick city today, i was number 85 apparently only first hundred preorders are guaranteed on launch night

I think I'll put a deposit on a PS4 tomorrow. Gamestop seems like the safest place to leave a deposit in at the minute. Not that I'm in a rush to get it.

Cant believe Xtravision took the full amount just for ordering it! I'd be getting my money back giving the trouble they are in!

Smyths have a gift card, just put money each week on that and the PS4 will be paid off by mid November. I have 225 on my gift card incl. the 20 quid deposit.

I'll try throw 20 quid a week until launch, i want the eye camera and a couple of games.

Reckon i'll splash down 600 notes on launch day

They can't guarantee anything, all they can do is stop taking pre-orders at some point and see how many they can get off Sony.

Yup....demand well outstrips supply, they might only have 2 million units for launch day, but that is spread all over the world. Big retailers with clout would get more like Amazon.

But Smyths in Ireland might only get 20 per store, hard to say but a pre order wont guarantee a midnight pickup....unless you're me....no. 1 on the list!

I have to find out how they'll do the list though, is it first come first server on the night?....or does it go by the list of names. I think its only fair it goes by names, otherwise it'll be a 24 hour sitdown outside the store :rolleyes:

For the PS3 from Smyths is was first come, doubt they'll bother with anything more complex.
