Naas Tesco are getting only 10 xboxes but they aren't likely to stay open til midnight tomorrow for such a small amount. They'll confirm either way tomorrow what they're doing

Nass tesco told me they were all booked out of xbox ones. Same for harvy norman. all they say is they'll be getting more stocks in week by week.

Nothing from MS yet either, it still says in process and when I check my card the transaction has not shown up yet but the credit has been taken, my limit has been reduced by the amount that MS are taking. Hopefully we get an email today but I have a feeling they are going to ship them tomorrow and overnight them.

Seem to be conflicting stories from people regarding MS direct orders.
Support chat enquiries range from 'definite delivery for Friday' to 'they're not sure if all orders will get out by tomorrow so it may not dispatch till Friday' etc etc.
Yesterday, some people were being informed that dispatch emails/charges would start going out 'Wednesday or Thurs at the very, very latest'. Certainly they don't appear to have a handle on maintaining their order history pages, so you'd hope they're on their game behind the scenes.
Having dealt with MS Store before, I'd find them average at the best of times re: orders, so it'll be interesting to see them handle mass product deliveries.

Then for me it's either dash to the shops and pick them up (if any or available), download or just play FIFA. I really want the collector cars though. :mad:

Nah it's first come first serve (providing the staff don't bagsy them first). The shop opens 6am Friday so imagine there'll be a queue and a dash to the back of the shop. But if that's what your thinking of doing call them tomorrow

They guaranteed me several times that I would receive it on launch day, during the phone call I made to change address I was told at least 5 times that it would be delivered on the 22nd. I might ring them again just to make sure, I bet they are being inundated with calls about it so could be on for a while.

DARK-KNIGHT

24 hours time ill be geared up for the console launch.... YEOWWWW

Just got a call from Smyths in Drogheda they are opening for midnight launch and gave me the choice of fifa or forza. Picked forza will change the Fifa in Gamestop. Will have a very happy boy on Xmas morning.

Wtf, how come other Smyths stores are giving people the option but the Waterford store aren't :mad:

OK I rang MS and they basically told me it will be shipped tomorrow or Friday morning and it will arrive by the end of the day Friday. I'm not hugely confident that it will arrive Friday if they only ship it that morning but I'll have to wait and see.

some good news lads for anyone doing a walk in
argos will have consoles for in for friday launch day

although their will only be about 10-15 consoles at most for every store so make sure your their very early other wise you will be disappointed

then they will have scattered deliveries over the course of December one date is the 9th of December

still unknown if they will be day one editions or not
their will also be bundles available (but they are far overpriced and not worth it in my opinion, cheaper to buy separate)

where did you hear that from? argos told me the only way to get one would be by pre ordering it through their site.

How long usually? It's been 4 hours and still nothing. Is CE00000000IE (numbers where the 0s are) a normal type tracking code?

Deleted User wrote: »

Should show up some time this evening.

Interestingly the tracking codes I got for 2 games and an extra controller all work (got Ryse today), but the code for the console itself is not showing anything... but it is the more expensive item.

Exact same with me. My tracking number is showing up for the controller I ordered but nothing as of yet for the Xbox.

Ill let you know if anything shows up on an post for the xbox tonight.

I work in Jervis but also do cross checks and sometimes work in the Illac
go where you think your most likely going to get one whether it be tesco , argos etc... as their will be very few units available to the public after the staff have their first pick at getting one on the day yano

They say pre order but they actually mean reserve, you can't pre order off an argos website, unless they some how add the function to do for the consoles
can't see why they would
its really who is their first on the day
I'll be their first thing in the morning to get my own console anyway
then I'll be throwing the rest of what ever is left after employees book theirs down to the public:pac: its unfair but thats the really only perk of the job that we can get first dibs on anything

I remember one girl from the illac saying she needs 4 ps4's on the launch day
when their will be only 10-15 available
after every employee gets theirs their would be none left
so simple fact is she won't be getting 4 of them but she has the choice of getting 1 first

To be honest I have not got a clue
check tomorrow and tomorrow night if it does not show up then go into the store very early
but like I said theirs very few units available for each store and most likely the first batch of each console the ps4 and the one will be sold out before the shop opens due to staff wanting them
but who knows
I don't think it will be updated on the site until the second batch myself
but see I work on a different system, so I can reserve for myself on the store system but the argos website works on a different system so I can't reserve on that
its how staff can insure they have theirs first
which is unfair but its a perk of the job
best of luck getting one though mate

2nd delievery will be on the 9th december and if you miss out, you will surely get one then :)before xmas

Am I Evil?

Good to know, thanks 2mad

I'm hoping the site gets updated, If not I live right beside an Argos extra so hopefully I might be able to snag myself one :pac:

I want to play it on Friday, not wait hours for downloads, so I'll get mine at midnight and set it up for the downloads, then head to bed.

Just got an email from them myself. Nice to see some movement on it. I already paid manually last week, but looking forward to seeing a tracking number tomorrow.

Did you order with Global Express or Global Enconmy?
