Just trying to find out exactly where this Power city is, is it the one in Fonthill retail park in Lucan?

Hate to ask but if anyone really does get to Fonthill at 5 or 6 can they post regular updates of the queue, please.

I will be there at that time, will update on what it is like.

Power city on Facebook replying to some comments, they say a lot of people are enquiring about what time they should go in for.

Oh and they also have confirmed they have a queue system in operation for the morning.

Will do! If there are more than 100 people at 5:00, I give up and get one in UK or US somehow before Christmas!

Could be 10.30 before I'm there. Just chancing my arm to be honest. Not much talk about craigavon tesco on twitter so fingers crossed.

Odd place...but Brown Thomas of all places were taking pre orders. Might be worth giving them a bell to see if they have general stock.

Also...I dont know why I'm here.

I said I wouldn't buy until February/March so that any launch issues would be resolved and better bundles would be out..

Getting the itch now....

Say I could be around the same time myself. Wouldnt take much notice of twitter personally though lol Im not pinning my hopes on getting one but would be nice to soften the hour drive back... lol Just hope they have a decent enough supply

Word is that tesco and Asda got extra stock in the uk. There's probably a better chance of getting one up north imo.

Argos Dundalk will have 4 and tesco extra in drogheda will have limited stock from 8am.

Also i mention twitter coz I'm checking to see if any wee scrotes are already tweeting saying they're queuing

Seems to be loads queuing in England and a good few in Belfast.

Getting the itch here, Im restless now.

If I was going to queue and had no other option, I'd happily wait 4+ hours. A 4 hour wait is nothing compared to the weeks it might take for supplies to meet demand.

I think supply should be alright. They're doing a second batch in north america next week that's apparently as big as, if not bigger than, the first one. So based on that timing, there'll likely be another big European batch in a fortnight

Just confirmed by friend who works in Tesco Clearwater. They got 20 consoles this evening & staff have purchased 17, so they have 3 to sell in the morning at 8am.

Cantona's Collars

Just a heads up to anyone planning to head to Asda,their Black Friday sale starts in the morning also,pick up a 32" LED tv for £99.

Hopefully! Aye I know what you mean lol Dunno why but get the feeling when I land there'll be a decent enough sized queue, possibly could be mistaken for the dole queue as well haha

How did staff purchase them is that not against the rules, hope I catch the one who told me no stock.

Obviously staff have put them by for themselves & leaving 3 for sale means that at least the store has something to sell in the morning.

Frustrating, as I was hoping i would get one in Clearwater but not now.

What time you guys think I should go tesco If theres 15 in my store ?

JamboMac

Might get the parents to do Black Friday and bring it back from the states less stress.

Switching tactics from Tesco Clearwater (hope I can trust the guy saying there's only 3 left - if that's true there's no chance) to DID in Fonthill.

Anyone have any directions to that shop? If I go early I'll try to post an update on the queue from my phone if possible.

Hard to say, thats when the guessing game comes into play and you just have to hope when you arrive you have won the race. I am just going with the time that is reasonable for me to queue up from to be honest. I am happy to queue up for several hours, some people may not be. If you want to be as safe as possible head out as soon as possible.

I ain't lying I'm just as disappointed, as with only 3 I've no hope of getting one in the morning. :mad:

I think Powercity is in this unit in Fonthill, if not then it's in the one next door. http://goo.gl/maps/RuhYp

I remember getting an iPad in there once when it was sold out everywhere else, so you could be lucky :pac::pac::pac:
