    Warning lads: be patient with the upload. Apparently the progress bar shows little signs of movement early. Someone turned it off thinking it had frozen and bricked the console.

    There were 3 people plus security guard in the Derry store, two behind the counter serving and 3rd was asking the next two on the line what they had pre ordered and had it waiting for when they went up to pay

    Borrow a nephew/lil' bro who can pretend to cry at the counter when they tell you they have none. If he can't pretend to cry, pinch him.

    Yeah, had a preorder. There were only 4 of us there in total. Pretty strict with letting us in so I'd say there wouldn't be a hope without a preorder. 9am tomorrow morning would be the best bet for Smyths I'd say.

    I think once you know where everything is, it isn't as daunting as it first seems. The bumper buttons are definitely key to quick navigation.

    I see a lot of people are charging batteries you lot not getting the play and charge kit/controller bundles?

    Getting the play and charge kit with the second controller I pre-ordered.

    Pre-ordered in Galway. Will pick mine up after 5 tomorrow. Splitting the cost with my brother but he is waiting on wages, so I had to pay for the lot for now.

    Will have to be just the FIFA download and a second controller for now.

    Some games are €10 and even €15 cheaper online than Gamestop. I can wait, as long as we have FIFA. Just to shut up the lads that have FIFA 14 on 360 and felt the need to tease like children... haha.

    I just started GTA V the second time and I still have to play The Walking Dead: 400 days and am playing through The Witcher on PC, so that I can have played that before getting The Witcher II on 360, so that I am all set for the Witcher III: Wild Hunt on Xbox One early next year :D

    Change location to USA or UK and use away on voice commands. They work flawlessly :D

    Can also gain access to UK & U.S non region locked apps and the YouTube app right now.

    Fair play to everyone who got their console already.

    It's going to be a long day in work refreshing the UPS page. :)
    Hmm ... Shipped by UPS Saver "Delivery commitment: 1-3 Business Days" :(

    Status from the UPS tracking page:
    In Transit: On Time
    Ok...
    Scheduled Delivery:
    Monday, 11/25/2013, By End of Day
    That's not what "on time" means, UPS.
