I preorderd with Gamestop on the 26th of June, after seeing on here what they posted yesterday about their deliveries being staggered I gave them a call yesterday. I'm getting it launch day, and they're doing a midnight launch that's Gamestop, Balnchardstown shopping center.


I'm at work fairly early on the Friday, think I'll go to the midnight launch, get home download the update, maybe spend a few minutes messing around with the UI and then go to bed leaving it downloading Fifa so it'll be ready to play when I get home.


Edit: What's with the red thumbs down, I didn't do that

Yeah that will be a long few minutes I bet, next thing you'll look at the clock ant it will say 7am :pac:

And I'm in work in an hour :eek:


I have a fast internet connection, but I've promised myself I won't start downloading FIFA until I'm going to bed, I don't want to be looking at it thinking I can get in just one match before I go to sleep.

Also I'm hoping there won't be too much to do with the UI, and I won't feel like I want to spend an hour or so on it.

Edit: Sorry, double post.

My Amazon order is showing
DISPATCH ESTIMATE Thursday 21 Nov 2013
DELIVERY ESTIMATE Tuesday 26 Nov 2013 - Wednesday 27 Nov 2013

I ordered June 10th. Was tempted to change delivery for something faster earlier today but then realised I'd have to do the same for each separate game order I have,no point having the console a coup!e of days without games.

Last few times I ordered expensive ele tronics from Amazon and selected free shipping they bumped it to next day via UPS - am guessing for security/tracking.

just posted this on another thread but amazon are posting out today

Anyone going to the Smyths midnight launch in Waterford and want to swap Forza for FIFA?

(I have FIFA, want Forza)

liamog

Seems everybody here wants Forza instead of Fifa.

Anybody got an update from the MS Store yet, mine is still showing as charged on the commerce site, but In Process on the MS Store.

Was never into FIFA myself! But enquired in Smyths about it yesterday and they told me a few people were interested in FIFA who have the Forza bundle so if no one on here wants to swap, might get someone willing to do so on the night

mcgovern

Got a text after posting this, that my console will be ready for collection at midnight. Hopefully, if its a forza one, someone there will want to swap!

I want FIFA alright, but the guy in Smyths didn't know what console I was down for, so I won't know if I need to swap until I get it. I'll let you know if I do though.

Anyone know where I can trade in my copy of FIFA 14 on the 360 for a copy of a different game on the Xbox One?

Gamestop are doing a deal where it`s €14.99 to trade for a copy of the same game...

No update here either, still in process on the store and my card has been charged. Should be shipped tomorrow I'd say, unless they are planning on sending them on Thursday by overnight delivery.

You will need a receipt from gamestop showing you bought the 360 version there.

Well, money is gone from my Paypal account for xbox 1 and games/extra controller I ordered and got a shipment notice that Ryse has been posted... getting close...

Amazon would want to start shipping tomorrow to get it here for the estimated delivery date they gave me, Friday 22nd. I went for the 2 day express option as I didn't have a PM account at the time. I don't think I'll get it till Monday or Tuesday though. Don't know why they won't ship early for over seas customers yet the likes of Gamestop here do ship early and they are in country.

I think they will start shipping to Ireland tomorrow, I was shopping around on there just now and saw this when viewing a 4tb internal hard drive:

Want it delivered to Ireland by Friday, 22 November? Order within 19 hrs 52 mins and choose Two-Day Delivery at checkout.
