GameStop taking 50€ deposit online is a new low for them good luck with that

They will stay digging until they reach the earths core. They've been taking pre-orders for months and I am convinced they will close before I pick up Cyberpunk from them as I screwed them in a trade in deal with a copy of Cars 3

Hopefully this doesn't sound like a jet taking off just like some ps4s did....

wes

Went for the headset as well. May as well.

Nearly went for the camera, but apparently PSVR has a converter you can get, so will just get that, when its available, and get a new camera with PSVR 2.

Doubt it will happen at launch, but sometime in the new year would be when I expect it to kick in.

Just threw it in as pre order in smyths as I forgot the nephew will want one for Xmas. Just says in progress?. Does it come up fast saying no or completed if you got it or not?

So I had the disc version in my Smyth's basket an hour ago and decided to try ordering it for the craic 19 minutes ago for click and collect and it allowed me to go through to pre ordering as guest and it send me a confirmation email, I take it once you get that email you are good to go? Is there a chance they will cancel some confirmed orders?
Did anyone get ripped off by Smyth's on PS4 launch, you pre ordered payed online turned up and whoops we don't have your console you paid for?

Usually once smyths are great,pre order is there day 1 and only take money once your stock is in

Never had issues for PS4/switch


GameStop are A joke

Believe it stays in progress until the transaction is completed (I.e collected or shipped).

Certainly recall that's the way it worked on previous orders.

Pending charge does be made a day or two beforehand, and then put through when collected/shipped. Smyths are by far the 'safest' crowd to deal with in my experience.

I got one in Smyth's just in case GameStop falls through. I was gonna get a second one anyway for my son.

Guys 499€ for disc version, is this the same price everywhere? Might buy one from Smyth’s but think they want all the money paid right now? Can I get a better deal elsewhere??

Same price absolutely everywhere. They won't charge until stock arrives.

You won’t get a better deal anywhere and Smyths don’t charge until the day before

How Soon Is Now

500 across the board for disk version. Smyths don't take any money right away. The money comes out the day before or once you collect in store.

Edit: ****, I'm definitely going to bed now.

Won't get a better price preordering. Money won't be taken until it's shipped or collected!

Amazon preorders start after 9am FWIW

Just a silly question tho, how do you know for sure you will get one if order status just says in progress? I only done it at 12.28 for Fonthill smyths. Does it say something different to others who done it earlier? Thanks

Echo this as well. Smyths have always been good. Once you got an email confirming your order, you are good to go.

jayjay2010

Omg I’m raging I had it in basket now out of stock everywhere

Once you've the confirmation email and reference you're good to go. Forget about in progress

Good spot. Can do a click and collect for newry anyone near the border.

jayjay2010

Home delivery seems to still be in stock, is that guaranteed or is pick up the better option?

loughrey

I preordered via Smyths for store collection, should be faster than home delivery. Originally it said it wasn't available but then became available after midnight. Hopefully they'll get enough for November so I can get one

I guess you don't mate. Anything could happen between now and Nov with regard to stock allocation to stores. They could come up short unwittingly down the line, in which case they should communicate........if not, the next comms from them would be with regard to collection or your preorder has shipped etc.
Don't worry about the in progress status, its standard for Smyths.

wes

Have to do all this stress again next week for the Xbox, don't think it will be as bad, as the PS5 seems to be far more popular.

Exclamation Marc

Never got the Smyths release email, still nothing.

Bizarre.

Thank god for Boardsies!

jayjay2010

Guys am I better off booking the home delivery as that appears to be in stock or should I wait for collection to become re available ? Afraid to commit to home delivery

I got one @ 23:59

The Smyths email went to my junk folder. Thanks to the posters here who pointed out pre orders were up.

Got a disc version click and collect for Navan.

Am I guaranteed one now that I got confirmation email?

Only console I’ve ever owned on launch day before was a PS2! I remember getting the bus from Cavan to HMV in Blanch to collect it!

Pity it’s an Xmas present so will be sitting up for a month.
