Is it a deposit for the pre order or do you have to pay up front?

Finally got it to work on the MS store. Phew! Was panicking there for a bit.

Finally got one to go through on the Microsoft Store! Do you reckon they'll actually deliver on November 10th as it says on the pre-order with them?

Was thinking of trying for Smyths when they eventually come back up but might leave it if people think MS will deliver on release day themselves.

Managed to get all the way to the Paypal page on Harvey Norman. Paypal timed out on me, but a few seconds later I got an email from Paypal to say the amount had been taken.

But no confirmation from HN

Harvey Norman hung on the processing page for 5 minutes, then a 500 error.

Finally got it :rolleyes:

Vyse Remastered

Got mine on the MS Store. Kept getting the error message that I had added the max to my cart but eventually worked. Keep trying it and you should hopefully come good.

Direct Link for Series X from MS

This is still working. Worked for me thanks.

Had to get mine on the MS Store too. Will keep checking Smyths though and cancel the MS one if I get a Smyths one.

That money will be returned, your order is incomplete.

Anyone know if they charge immediately? Smyths were saying to me last week they would charge immediately which would guarantee a console on day one. MS store says it will be charged once the order is processed.

Went with MS in the end too. Cheers to everyone who posted links, gave updates etc. Hope you all get sorted.

Smyths was the sh*t show I expected.

You literally can't look at anything on Smyths at the moment.

Didn't have to pay a cent for the PS5. Smyths will take the money just before dispatch/release.

Does anyone know how preorders work with trade ins in Gamestop please ?
Hoping the young lad will trade in his One X

Ordered through the MS store. Get kepting an error message until I cleared my cookies for their site, and then the order went through with no issues. Expected delivery date is 10/11/2020.

Don't know about any of the others but the email I got from MS says they will chare when it ships.

Got both of them via the Microsoft store but it was very slow (and quite tense) - thankfully the orders went through in the end

MS for me too. Fingers crossed for the 10th. Although the fact that they won't take your money until it ships seems a bit dodgy. They're MS, so won't they just have a theoretical infinite amount of stock they'll keep letting people book, if that's the case?

Do you reckon we'll be guaranteed one day one from the MS store?

Needs to be in store. Once console and games are traded in the store credit can be either applied to your account or payed towards the balance of the order.

Makes it worse, I hate those cunce with a passion

Got there with GameStop, looks like they took a while to turn the order system on. I have a One X to trade so was kinda forced to go with them, but €50 isn't too much of a deposit.

Any live yet?

I got mine on MS too and shoing delivery on 10 Novermber, so I'm happy with that.

McDermotX

Even limiting to one per customer, Smyths took a bit of a beating. Shame, would prefer to pick up in person but MS were on the money with regard to delivery with the One launch, so would expect the same now.

Finally got one for collection from Harvey Norman after multiple 500 errors at payment processing.

What a **** show.
