    I saw in another tread someone got their game delivered 2 days early by ordering from gamestop.ie but does any other places sometimes deliver their games early?

    Nowhere delivers games early (before release date) after the GTA 5 debacle of people getting them 48 hours early

    Nowhere in Ireland will do that. Only UK and US get that privilege it seems.

    Not sure about PC or PS4, but on Xbox you can download titles early and they'll become available at midnight on release day. It's the most reliable way to get a game on time.

    The downside is you need a decent internet connection as a lot of games are 40gb+, and also you sometimes miss out on the special offers that places like gamestop have. On the plus side you don't have to be annoyed by discs.

    Last I heard they were selling off all their last-gen games for a fiver. Never really made the jump to PS4/Xbox One.

    Looks like they ceased trading. Selling off their second hand stock for a fiver now. I used to get Friday releases on the Thursday with standard shipping.

    So gamestop.ie won't be doing this now either?
