In GameStops defence, they've handled in-store game preorders really well.

I only ever use GameStop for trade ins as their value is second to none when offers are on.

Can't speak to the console orders but they've surprised me with in-store game orders.

The key thing here though is that they appear like they’re about to mess up on something that people REALLY care about.

If I’d say, ordered a Switch game and it came a day or 2 later than I expected, my life would continue with very little frustration but they are about to hurdle into a torrent of fury that is going to seriously damage their reputation.

The last thing any company needs is tonnes of people fuming about you on social media, when there are so many competitors in that market for online sales now.

Cancelled my Amazon preorder last week. Serious pangs of regret now.

Hate to burst your bubble but an 11 year old doesn't believe in Santa. My niece pretended she did for months because she was afraid that if she said she didn't believe she wouldn't get presents.

Now if your child is home schooled on a permanent basis then maybe but there is always some sh*t in school who gathers everyone around and says "You won't guess what I heard"

I fully believed in Santa until I was 12, and that was with all of my 6th class classmates telling that me he's not real. I just thought that they were all gimps :pac:

Look at it this way.

It would be an early Christmas present he will never forget. Let him know it's his big gift and enjoy it on release day, maybe pick up a new game for Dec 25th.

I'd love if my parents had ever done that for me. That's just me though.

Unless it's from Santa. Don't f**k with Santa

Does anyone know if the Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones will work with the PS5?

Thanks,

No thats not how it works, you cant just "rock" up to the shop. They wont be getting stock, even if by some miracle they do, it will have to be reserved on their site and will be gone in seconds.

Oh I agree with you. I was saying it sarcastically.

Looks like I've been charged twice by GameStop! One payment gone and one 'pending' with the money taken from my card. Paid through PayPal.
Has this happened to anyone else?

That happened to my colleagues son also when he was ordering via GS, weird...

Pending transaction might never go through and will probably just dissappear.

Different banks call them different things and it's like when they present for it twice but they only batch one of them. Some call them pending and some call them Ghost transactions. Be grand.

Some can vanish overnight and some take a few days, some then disappear when one of them is batched on their systems.

Normally I wouldn't be too worried but now there are a whole load of 'what if' scenarios running through my head..."what if they don't see the one that went through but see the 'pending' one and don't send me my console!?' ������

Theyre just duplicate entries into their payment system, one of which will fall away. Nothing to worry about at all.

Best chance is to sit up all tomorrow night and refresh your browser on Harvey Norman and a few others. Harvey Normans availability is 'supposed' to go live at 8.00am but i'd be checking hours before that. You'll be fighting bots though so good luck.

I sure hope they do a second batch before xmas

Have a feeling it wont be until 19th if not later. They got themselves a couple of extra days it seems (mine still showing 21-24/11)

I've pre-ordered this for a friend.

At first, I was like "Do I really need a PS5 yet?".

Now with the payment taken and tracking number in hand, I'm more "Do I really need a friend?"
