    Yep, its fcuking 30 quid for delivery, but its insured and all that. Dont really know if that makes a difference, but there ya go.

    Could use Parcel Motel for UK delivery if it's much cheaper?

    Ring them on the number on the website. They put my name on a list to ring whenever they got stock in. That was today before lunch.

    They rang me back about half and hour ago and had them in stock.

    haha worth a shot :p but seriously it's a great service. Have used it for computer components myself plenty of times. Probably arrives quicker than it would normally. The day it arrives in the N.I depot it will be in your parcel motel that night or early next morning even on Saturdays (and Sundays in some parts).

    Managed to get one from Home & Garden Gifts Online so cheers for posting it up!

    Bit on the steep side... I paid through PayPal and it worked out at €550 :(. At least I'm guaranteed one for Christmas!

    On the plus side, it's not extra money going to the scalpers who purposefully snapped up consoles in order to charge through the teeth...

    Same as this but it not says it has left my local depot and is in transit. Hoping today as I'm at home but as long as it's before Xmas I'm happy and that it's works obviously...

    Anyone who ordered PS4 from Amazon last week - expected delivery date 11th December get theirs from An Post yet?

    Has said on the An Post tracking since Monday - on route to customer.

    Lads, I ordered mine on the 5th and it was estimated for the 11th.

    Tracking said it was received on the 9th to Dublin Mail Centre. Still no change this morning as it still said "in transit/on route to customer" so I rang an post customer services. Press 5 to get to an operator. I explained the situation and he was incredibly helpful. After 5 mins he said he'd ring me back as he had to make a few calls.

    he rang back about 10mins later saying they had located the package and will try and get it out that morning/afternoon or at least the following day.

    It was at my office by lunchtime.

    Definitely worth ringing them, they have a backlog but if you're nice on the phone then they will prob help you out. They close at 5 or 5.30pm so if you ring now you'll have a chance for delivery in the morning.

    Big thanks to all those who helped out with links particularly the Amazon ones. Good luck to all those still looking, hope you all get sorted in time

    Same here, i have a Vita as well, so I'm hankering to get it set up with that too. I'm not a big Christmas fan, so I'll have it to keep me distracted.

    Eventually got through to to the Smyths on the Fonthill were I have my pre-order. Told me I'll get a text to pick up my pre-order tomorrow. They might be giving me the run around though.

    Just ordered off Argos.co.uk through ParcelMotel myself, the killzone bundle for 480 is'nt so bad.

    Have used parcelmotel a few times, their an excellent service, never missed a parcel yet although I would imagine this one is probably oversized so you'll have to collect it from their depot in Finglas. I would'nt worry about it not arriving though.

    Looks like Argos.co.uk will deliver now even though it says home delivery not available. I wonder was it this way the whole time? :D
