    Vague message now on GS website that all orders are "secure" and that they'll be in touch with new shipping dates. Not sure what this means if pre-ordered for in store pickup. Wait and see I guess...

    I had my click and collect order for RE3 cancelled by Smyths on Friday. They offered me a chance for home delivery and a code to match the original price. I was late seeing the email and now there's no option to avail of the home delivery. They've updated their website saying they are no longer doing online orders. Sorry guys but Smyths is no longer an option. For those who want to play Resident Evil 3 Remake on release day, digital is looking like the only option. Would have preferred a physical copy but I'm not missing this on April 3rd.

    Seems trivial with everything going on but it's annoying that Gamestop aren't even operating an online and delivery store now after Leo's announcement. Had Persona 5R preordered but that's all kind of up in limbo now. It's only a fiver on the preorder so could try amazon but their delivery times are either 2 weeks away or pay for priority shipping and get it in 1 week.
    Weird because i pre ordered P5R from GS and my order was shipped on Friday. Have you logged into GS to check if your order has shipped?

    Anyone know where you can currently get a PS4 console or xbox console?

    Which would you recommend getting?

    Ah I should have said I originally had it ordered in store. I was waiting to see if they'd make any changes for people in that situation. Then Friday's announcement from Leo came and they stopped the online stores. Otherwise I would have just preordered it online again.

    Amazon would probably be your best bet at the moment but all non essential delivery’s are delayed so it will take a while to come.

    As for what console i would recommend the ps4 as it has the best exclusives

    We should have some online tournament for a game that a lot of people generally own.

    Call it "The King of the lockdown tournament" or something :pac:

    I'd be up for organising it if people had an interest.

    Excuse my ignorance but can you not just get a digital copy? I don't think I've bought a physical game in a decade.

    Personally, i want resi 3 on physical as reviews say it takes 5-6 hours to complete and i have no interest in the online mode. I'd hope to buy it physically and trade when I'm done.

    Same. Will wait for GS to reopen as have store preorder with them. To be fair I've a massive backlog so no better time to enjoy those games than now, RE3 will be waiting for me down the line (assuming GS don't go under in the meantime)

    Well with me not having the time to play games as much in recent years (young kids) and having a huge backlog I'm good.

    Have a Switch, PS4, Xbox One with PS Plus, GWG, games I picked up cheap on older platforms when the next gens arrived and ROMs. If gaming drops off the face of a cliff I'm good.

    Playing South Park Fractured But Whole on Switch, great stupid game for these serious times.

    Might playing Resi 2 Remastered (pick it up for €20 ages ago) after that.

    Glad to hear! I had resigned myself to not getting a physical copy after Smyths cancelled my preorder last Friday. This was a nice surprise at the 11th hour. Hope more people see this and get to place an order. Enjoy the game 😊

    My copy of Resi 3 is on the way, cost more that I'd like but Smyths and Argos will be closed for weeks and after 2 I'm excited for 3.
