About 70 on the queue here at Fonthill, PowerCity.

Hope you poor sods don't get the lashing wind and rain I'm currently getting here. Granted I'm in my living room. I don't think an umbrella would do you much good either. It'd help see you go the way of Mary Poppins.

I was wondering the same, is this just staff taking them?

Sligo down to 1 in stock too, if staff is taking them at half 6 in the morning, that is fairly ****ty.

The lads next to us just did a head count, 95 including people in cars. A few people out here will be sadly out of luck.

dan hibiki

wait....now the stock checker is saying that theres only 1 in sligo. what sorcery is this?

Zonda999

Has to be the staff

dan hibiki

.....and now its gone in Sligo. ffs.

The JMC

This will be fairly funny if it is showing out of stock everywhere and then it finally lets people reserve.

SteelyDanJalapeno

Really? 35 people in cars? I dont see that. Filling up quick now though. 10 new arrivals last 15 minutes.

Car people should not br allowed to jump the queue imo. How do we know that they've been here all this time?

phone reserve argos..3 words

The JMC

I refuse to believe that all the Argos in Ireland received less than 10 PS4s. I guarantee if some lads chance their arm at the opening times, you could get lucky.

Rafloution

a lot of the stock would be taken up by staff so yes its possible

dan hibiki

now castlebar is gone.

Well the lads who did the head count were polish fellas with little English. I think they said 95.

Agree with the cars though, it's too hard to tell who has been here a long time and who has not. I would love to sit in my car a bit but no way would I leave the line. The people at the very front have been there since 7pm yesterday evening.

Where and how?

Zonda999

and now all gone everywhere at Argos, funny how that situation unfolded over the last half hour..

The JMC

You absolutely cannot sit in your car and then expect to jump the queue, those lads should be back of the line to be honest. Otherwise why would anybody else bother queuing up?

Just gave out tickets in Douglas, boom! Garuanteed! There's 19 in stock, bout 4-5 tickets left

I rang argos in galway eariler in the week regarding stock and they told me that due to some supplier going bust that they wouldn't have any in stock for launch (i mentioned this in the other ps4 thread). After hearing about the argos staff behaviour i thought it was some story to put me off but now thinking it could be true.

I had a waffle with an Argos staff member in Blanch yesterday and he basically
told me...theres barely enough for the staff as it is don't bother yer arse queing here my son...

Cahntz :rolleyes:

I might head to Argos at half 8 in the morning here in Sligo and I could enquire about any PS4s and report back here. Have a reservation there myself for NBA 2K14 on Xbox.

Zonda999

Fair play, didn;t think Tesco would give out tickets, fair play to them. Doesn;t look like I'll get one now, only heading in to Wilton now..
