Unable to purchase the order at the moment – please try again.

That's the one, just keep hitting the pay button. Takes ages, but should go through eventually.

Oh, really? Is optical a no-go anymore?

I've a in-ear headset at the moment and although it's bang average, I much prefer that style to others. But...it won't work with the new controller? It connects via aux/headphone connection.

Some headset are being updated to work via USB:

Does anyone know when GameStop will be able to confirm launch day orders if you have paid the deposit in store before today?

Msft website seems to be accepting orders again.

I'd say you'll be fine. They had orders available for home delivery which is usually a good indication of them having unallocated stock.

Just said to me today can't guarantee launch day order when I paid for it but saying that I have ps5 pre ordered since December and they cannot 100% say I will defo get one on launch day but said highly likely. Just probably don't know how many they got in store as of yet.

Fingers crossed. I did get an order placed on MS website this morning as a back up but would prefer to collect on the day and trade in my One X a few days before.

They'll always say that. Their entire allocation may not arrive on time or they get shorted. There will be no real guarantee for anyone until a few days before the release when the stock actually arrives, including from the MS store.

Yeah its sold out on MS direct. Under 4 hours to sell out means its either been a very successful launch OR they don't have a large about of stock due to Covid.

I think Microsoft consoles went into mass production before sony.

I strolled in to Smyths today and put my deposit down. Pity they won't accept more than €25. However, the guy did suggest to save the money on a Smyths gift card which I thought was a smart idea, particularlly for someone like me that likes to spend money at every opportunity.

He also said Smyths guarantee purchases. They wont allow people to pre-order if they don't have the stock. Pretty good practice.

I did, however put down a deposit on Cyberpunk in Game Stop.

I perorder the wii and ps3 on launch day got them no problem in smyths.

When I ordered in person at Smyth's the guy serving me said they would open early on release day, and to show up at 7:50am on November 10th. I thought it was a weird specific time to give.

Well seems I forgot today was the day. Oh well I'm sure MS will have more stock later in the year.

Smyths still have stock for in store order. Their website got borked and no one could order.

Ah yeah, probably. I thought he'd just say they open at 8, but show up early because there's going to be a queue. I'll be pissed if 7:50 doesn't have me near the front of that queue :pac:

Just a head up for anyone who got charged by Harvey Norman but didn't get a confirmation email.

I spoke to them on Live Chat and they confirmed my order wasn't taken. In order to get my money back I have to email them. So it won't come back to you automatically.

And now I just got an email confirming my order.

Shambles!

Same and on back order too :pac:

Back to them again asking for a refund

recyclops

my original email to them was just saying i would like to cancel the preorder if it went through and get a refund anyway so hope that suffices

For orders from MS - Can you change the payment method afterwards to MS Credit?

Tempted to buy 10x €50 gift cards for €473 to save a few quid

Some people have had trouble with ordering the XSX with credit today - it might be blocked due to scalping? People could make duplicate accounts and buy lots of credit to get many Series X consoles. That's my theory behind why it wouldn't work.

Anyway - I wouldn't risk it to save 27 quid if I were you...

Cant believe that Smyths site isn't sorted.. Had to purchase on MS Store which won't guarantee me getting it during the first week..

McDermotX

At least they put the blue controller up.........not that you can buy it or anything mad like that.

From Smyths ? Or MS ?
Have one with MS myself, but Smyths have only updated the site today with the blue one - so at least they can manage that. They just can't sell it :pac:
