    Noticed UK Smyths store, on the disc Version, it Says "available in store only" I'm assuming if you live in the UK you just queue up and first come first served...?

    It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

    This is very different to the Series X launch, where stock was allocated to different stores, and people had to grab stock from wherever they could. In this case, everyone could reserve for their closest one. My feeling is this might have been set up for staff to reserve stock before the stock allocations were done to stores?

    I'd be surprised if it's more than a few hundred that got reserved, which seems way too low a number for a shipment.

    I'm thinking possibly, only if they allowed a certain number. Normal practice seems to be going out the window with this one!

    Don't know about you but every Argos I try says stock available. Add to basket proceed to checkout. It's only after you add your number an email that it says "sorry out of stock"

    Frustrating is not the word

    They're gone, word went around 1.15 and was all done by 1.32.

    Only hope is that people have multiple reservations they'll let go and some more stock appears.

    Argos allowing multiple res against one store (Nevermind multiple) is a shambles.

    Hate to ask in this thread as its not the chat thread but if anyone got a reservation for Tullamore they won't end up using, or can't get to it, I would be very grateful.

    Pretty sure people could reserve for anywhere they wanted, as the stock isn't even in the stores yet. You're not going to have people getting rid of reservations because they can't get to it.

    Fair enough I just thought on the off-chance someone managed to get a couple of reservations.

    God that doesn't seem shady at all. How the hell are you supposed to know he's not just giving you random numbers? There's no way to check.

    Just tried Argos when I woke up and it says in stock and I can order for collection, but then changes to out of stock when I put my details in. I assume this is the same for everyone?

    You needed to wake up at 1am to have any chance.

    Screenshot of the email, or forward the email. It's still a risk, though, as Argos could cancel the order or it could just not be there when you show up for collection.

    Back again. The fact he says payment through PayPal makes it seem more legitimate but yeah as others have mentioned there's no guarantee Argos even fulfils these orders. I think he has Athlone as sold out to make it look like people are actually buying.

    If the email actually has a reservation number and doesn't look like this, then yes.
