I did mine from the branch in the Crescent and guaranteed it.

Same here. Booked it back in June and have confirmed it three times with them now to make sure and got a call last week asking to confirm FIFA or Forza. Going in again tomorrow with more money and going to confirm day one edition again.

Amazon have Xbox One Fifa special edition bundles available for release day

Note this isn't a day one edition but does come delivered on launch

Just placed an order. It's around €540 delivered with parcel motel... now to sell Fifa as soon as I get it :pac:

Are you sure,

The only one I found that is a Fifa edition(not day one edition) says this below it.

Customers who order this console will receive it after release day, but before Christmas

That wasn't there when I placed it (I think!) :eek:
But they still haven't given me a delivery date just that choosing first class would give me release day delivery. If I go to check it they claim they need more time to provide me with a date


Interesting... I'll wait it out and see
I'm not too bothered.. I really don't want Fifa so if its not release day I'll just cancel

Transaction is pending on my AIB.

I hope it's only held in pending until they ship it out, and there are no issues!

Is this the same for everyone who ordered through Gamestop.ie?

Sorry lads the Amazon page was an error, Just contacted them

Cancelled my order

Anyone have any idea when shops know how many day ones they are getting in?

Yep don't worry. Mine is Paypal but pending too. It is because they only take payment at shipping. So, let's hope payment is taken on the Wednesday or Thursday!

I've not got a call or text from Smyths Kinsale Road. Odd!

From what i gather they were phone people asking would the turn up to a midnight launch, only going to do it if enough people said yes to turning up

I havn't heard anything from Smyths and I was top 10 on the list when I ordered, they said I would get a text with collection details closer to the date when I ordered.

I'd go to a midnight launch if they offered but I can see it being a pain in the ass for staff who have no interest in the X1 so it doesn't bother me too much.

Why didn't they give you the option, I got the option last week, I asked out of curiosity really

I wasn't told I'd get either, does every day one console get the free game?

I rang Smyth's on fonthill road and they couldn't tell me if I was getting one. I think I ordered in august. Also said I would get a text. I wish we could be told something more concrete.

GameStop are guaranteeing xbox's pre Christmas once ordered before release day.

I emailed Tesco about a week ago, enquiring about Day One Xbox One with Fifa.

Here is their reply

"We will be stocking Xbox One Bundle with Fifa 14 in selected stores on the release date. However, we have no information at the present which stores will be selling these. If you email us around a week before its release we'll be able to check for you.

Alternatively, when you’re next at store enquire at the Electrical Desk.

Should you require any assistance in the future please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards

I was informed by a friend who works in Tesco that they'll be receiving limited stock, and a lot of that stock will be bought up by staff. Just something to keep in mind.

i pre ordered a one last Wednesday from dabs.ie. when i emailed them to inquire when would i receive it.... they told me i would would receive my console the week after the 22nd of November. http://www.dabs.ie/learn-more/electronics/xbox-one-12598.html

i know its 30 odd euro more expensive but if its for a christmas gift it is worth it

What are the best shops to try walk in and get an xbox one on launch day? Cancelled my ps4 pre order and fancy an xbox one now.

I was in there today and they said that they had enough orders to cover everyone, and they were doing a midnight launch.
I ordered in July though, and he thought I wouldn't get FIFA.

Tesco, limited stock but your only option really

The_Scary_Man

Just got the call from Gamestop, I can pick up my XBox One on the 29th. I had been told I had just made the cut for the 22nd but apparently their stock has been cut back due to a new store opening up.

Who pre-ordered from an unopened store though?

Not too miffed though, a week won't kill me and I knew I hadn't booked early enough to guarantee a day one console.

I'll have a week to suss out what the best bundle is too

I was at the ONE tour last night and finally got my hands on the new controller, talk about super sensitive, I was firing without realising it, I think the new thumb sticks are a little too small, anyway that's my excuse for finishing a game of CoD with a 6k 15d , I did a bit better on laguna seca but would have liked to have seen a choice of tracks.
BTW I got a call to midnight launch in GameStop Mullingar, so I might change my countdown:D
