Likely places to get a PS4 without a Pre-order

GavRedKing

Ya I suppose the time frame and location restricts the potential sale of it but either way it looks like you'll be rid of it today.

Fairplay too BTW in not scalping it.

May have a code for cork later this evening. Will know around 7. I am still stuck for a Dublin one...

Just giving ye the heads up to keep an eye on Monaghan availability at whatever time the reservations are freed up again this evening. There is a chance 1 may appear due to uncollected reservation.

Just an update for people, don't know if this means much to you or if you have already been told but I just rang Gamestop and they said they will be getting more PS4 consoles in before Christmas (I was in the second batch of pre-orders so i'm not sure if they will be for general sale) so I would presume most retailers will be getting them in. So if you can't get your hands on one this weekend or this week then don't think you won't get one before Christmas because there is a good chance that you might.

They are only for pre orders and they will not be getting enough in to cover the second batch, so you will not have any for general sale there for a few months yet as they still have huge lists to get through.

Better chance with 01-2161616 and have the store code ready. Do a dummy run on it with another product before closing so you get familiar with the options and know what digit to press to skip the longwinded instructions.

Fair play, have seen GavRed and Slimshaney both looking throughout the weekend for Cork.

Amazon screwed me because I changed my delivery method Ordered 28th Oct so was promised one before Christmas and in the interest of seeing it arrive quicker I changed the delivery method from one that would take 4-5 working days to one that would only take 2, when I did this the estimate changed stating I would receive AFTER Christmas...

Spoke to Customer Services and she pretty much just said "It's your fault, you shouldn't have changed delivery method, deal with it" (not even exaggerating..)

Been trying Argos twice a day ever since if anyone has anything in Limerick they can't get to then I'd be grateful if you could help me out

(Also has anyone had a similar problem with Amazon? Is it right that they changed my delivery date when It still shows I ordered 28th Oct and should be in the second wave?)

Just wondering why everyone is in such tizzy over trying to get a PS4 in a hurry? Maybe im wrong but from what I can see the PS4 isnt worth getting yet with just 10 games released for it at the moment, games that you probably wouldnt even usually purchase. Would people not be better off waiting until the new year when more games have been released from it. Ive seen people drive from Louth to Kerry for PS4 or pay way over the odds for it and for what? To play Kill Zone, a game they dont even like. These consoles will be easily available with better bundles in the coming months

Could someone explain why they want it so urgently? Am i missing something, should i be out searching for one as well?

Stop being so snarky I'm sure everyone has their reasons and the most common one is probably that we all love video games and want the new consoles as soon as possible (for me personally I have a month off at Christmas and some money in the bank so why not?)

I guess people just like getting new, shiny stuff. Especially around Xmas when they'll have some free time to play it over their time off work. Also, some people may not think they'll have the money to buy it in a few months, so they're getting the investment over with now.

Just my 2 cents.

Try explaining that to all the kids who expect to have one on xmas day.

just want to say a big thanks to flaccus. absolute gent. got the playstation off him about an hour ago and in fairness he couldn't have been nicer about it all. delighted i got sorted and genuinely hope that everyone else here who hasn't gotten one yet, get sorted out as soon as possible.

Im not being snarky, it was a genuine question. I too would like the new console but in my opinion its not worth stressing over sitting at a computer in hope of finding a reservation code or driving half way across the country which I have seen friends of mine do. You love video & want it straight away which is fair enough. I hope you and anyone else in here locate one soon but surely people are in agreement the launch titles are not great? And come January you will pick one up easily enough..plus at the moment you cannot play recently released ps3 games like Beyond Two Souls or GTA on your PS4?

But as i said best of luck to everyone hoping to get one in the coming days

GavRedKing

Fairplay to flaccus for being one of the only people not trying make a killing on the ps4's.

Anyone not using a Cork code id take it.

dickmolan

Anyone have a reservation here for ps4 or have a ps4 for reasonable price?

Djhanos

does anyone know what time they usually add stock to websites? e.g newly delivered ps4s

I rang argos today they said they are getting 18000 ps4 for Ireland and uk on Thursday

But I 'm guessing that's decided 17,000 Britain and 1,000 to Ireland so not sure whether that will cover it.

I doubt it. The number of things they tell over the phone to get rid of you is endless. They are getting few every day, but they don't know how many etc...

Argos has over 700 stores, and only 40 over here. Sounds about right.

If by any chance it gets to the stage of giving it away, can I add my name to the list of folks in Cork city looking for a code. If it makes any difference I'm due some Kristmas Karma (see previous comments..)

If true and there is better availability in UK order online and deliver to parcel.motel in north. Just got a delivery of another item from.Argos UK via parcel motel. Item was not in stock locally and UK price was also a bit cheaper. Maybe an option......
