Ugh cmon Smyths, take my money already!

[Indy @ S.E.]

Is this normal from them, to take the money at the absolute last minute possible?

My local game were taking pre-orders for Friday, might be worth giving them a shot. £20 preorder fee to guarantee one for launch though.

 

Cheers, but I'm not in the UK, hence why I asked EU.

 

This shouldn't be this hard. I managed to bag an RTX 3080 before Cyberpunk, but no one over here is selling pre-orders or entertaining waiting lists. I'm just going to try F5'ing the German Nintendo Store on Friday. 😕

Should we be getting worried do you think? Well…relatively speaking anyway. 

[Indy @ S.E.]

The only thing I can think of is that they’ll process payment tomorrow when they book the delivery firm to pick up for next day delivery on Friday.

 

I might ring up the local store and see if there will be any to reserve for in store collection, just in case.

Good review! 

Also goes to show that yes, more fps and pixel res is not the be all end all. Sometimes a different approach to an upgrade can result in something special. 
The comparison to the original Switch is quite a contrast!

Fucks sake, huge FOMO incoming!

[geordie]

Amazon charged my card.  Still showing as 13th for delivery though.

GRRRR

[Jamie John]

Nothing from Very 🥲

[the_debaser]

Still waiting for an email from Smyths to pick up in store. I’m sure it’ll be sent later today. 

[Indy @ S.E.]

Lesson from here is that Smyths certainly add to the preorder pressure.

[Jamie John]

Dispatched!

 

[Triple A]

Very despatched mine about 30mins ago.  Nothing from Amazon re Dread yet though

[Jamie John]

Dread also dispatched!

 

[The Mighty Ash]

AY. OH. LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO!!!!

From 5 minutes play:

 

Screen feels much bigger, sound is surprisingly better and the overall build quality is much improved. 

 

I was really on the fence but have no regrets.

This. Is. Me.

[grungekid]

No dispatch or charge to my card as of yet from Nintendo store.

[teddymeow]

Not to scare anybody but we had an email today saying that FedEx have had temporarily suspended domestic services due to a "significant technical problem" at their national hub on Tuesday night.

 

They are:

 

1. Cancelling pre-arranged collections

2. Not accepting any new FedEx or TNT shipments

3. Looking at contingency plans to recover items already in their network

 

So, yeah.

Y U NO DISPATCH MINE YOUSE CUNTS

[sofasurfer]

Good old Amazon, ordered on the 16th of July and not looking like it's going to be here for launch.

I’d call them. As I explained a page or two back, they’re utterly useless. My order was made without storing my card details, so the payment failed on Monday, but I wasn’t notified. Had to make the order again, and the payment was taken straight away.

That £66 charge seems so random doesn’t it.

I wonder now if I would have kept my mouth shut would they have sent it and only charged me that 😃

Yeah it’s odd, the only thing I could think was Klarna instalments or something, strange.
