Best of luck! The first 6 months are great for gaming during the day when they sleep but there are gonna be times where you'll have to decide whether you want to game or sleep, choose wisely :pac:

Isn't that what the Switch is for?

My Smyths pretty much has it's own section of car park so I'll just wait in the car and judge how busy it is. I don't expect it to be too busy since I'm not in a city

Most Symths stores are open late so wont send click and collect text until they close because they know someone out there will try and go in this eve to get one if they did send it before closing.

So they will start going out once stores start closing, most after 9pm.

That helps a lot! I was thinking this or the sackboy game to keep the kids entertained, I'll go with sackboy so

Just saw this. Yeah, if your intention is for your kids to play it definitely go with Sackboy!

Based on when I got my email for Miles Morales last week, I'd say you're bang on

My local store closes at 9pm Wednesday, and last Wed I got my email for the game at 9.53pm

Based on volume they'll probably be later for some people, maybe even only in the morning but before opening time at a min

Yeah I think I will go for Valhalla, the only AC game I havent played is Odyssey hopefully im not missing too much by not playing that one

I generally wouldnt care about how busy Smyths could be and times but im 33 weeks pregnant and dont want to be waiting too long
Yeah I could send my husband but im just too excited, once I dont go into early labour from all the excitement ill be doing well! Hahaha

You should walk straight to the top of the queue, and any @sshole that tries to stop you will be shamed by the normal, decent people in the queue.

BTW, Odyssey is awesome!

How Soon Is Now

Smyths just took the money out of my account it's on!!

I haven't ordered any games, I'm gonna sign up for PS Plus with Collection tomorrow.

What's the best option for signing up for Plus? I believe there's usually reductions around Black Friday so should I sign up for a month and then see if there's deals next week??

Ya just get a limited deal and see what kinda sales happen over next few weeks. It's bound to go down somewhere.

Same just happened to me man. Do you know if we just turn up tomorrow at 8am and collect? I didn't get any email or text yet...?

dan786

For anyone that collected games from Smyths recently do you need the card you pay with , I dont see why they would need it if already charged but its on their site. I dont have the card I paid with as was Revolut disposable one use card.

"On arrival at the Click & Collect Counter at your selected store you will need: 1) your unique Order Number or your barcode, 2) the credit or debit card used to order the item and 3) Photo identification"

They didn't ask me for anything last week, just the email with the barcode.
There was a sign up for when people were collecting their xbox that ID was required, assuming same for PS5.

Have you had Plus before?
If you haven't, they have a 14 day trial so that would keep you going through Black Friday.

Never been so happy to see money gone out of my account

Unless they say different in the email they will send out tonight then yep that's what I have currently planned anyway.

CastorTroy

If everyone's so keen to have money taken from their account, I'm always willing to volunteer my services

If you had it on PS3 then you won't get a free 2 week PS+, unless using a different account.

Mine was exact same, it just changed on the site for me now but it was timed from earlier.

Got my text and mail for Smyths collection.

And now to take this moment to once again thank Wing126 for posting that preorders were available.


So the fact they say it's available for collection means I'm legally covered and have justification for entering the store after they're closed, right?

Monies gone for ps5 . No email yet

I wouldnt be brave enough for that, im just gonna head there for 8am and hope for the best that it wont be too busy

Loved Origins but I think I never bothered with Odyssey because I had AC fatigue, so will have to cut my losses there and go straight to Valhalla
