10 MILLION PS4'S BY 2013
BELIEVE!

Not a chance (and you obviously know that ) but 15 million by the end of 2014 is possible.

 

[Zoctan]

I always liked the Irish. Way to go.

 

[Thomas_Daly]

im from Ireland and the ps4 is 500 euro here

I pre-ordered mine on amazon uk the mega bundle for 550

Ireland is a rip off for everything

 

[Clegg]

Repping the Donnybrook massive.

Well.. it is the Rip Off Republic, but who the hell was charging €500 for a PS4? It's €399 everywhere I've seen it.

Really? Says the base model is 400 on Gamestop.ie, mind you if you're getting a bundle it would be close to 500. It's a real pity about that straight dollar/euro conversion.

You spent too much bro, 400 in Gamestop!

Checking in from Walkinstown, some Killzone MP would be pretty savage lads it has to be said. Maybe we should have an Irish GAF OT, honestly didn't know there'd be that many.

 

[PuppetMaster]

Maybe they just realized there is no way Kinect will ever understand voice commands in their thick Irish accents.

 

[Dazzler]

considering I have a very mild Dublin accent and a lot of people in Canada have trouble understanding me, this is probably spot on

I was thinking the same myself the other week.

 

[glimmerman]

Werd to da northcidahs from Porto,

Also, I ordered from Amazon UK

 

[Messi]

Kildare here

IrishGaf is best Gaf

Lads, I have just been charged for my PS4.

Kildare here too represent

 

[Liamario]

I did receive an email from GameStop confirming I would be getting one at launch. I ordered online. I would be getting worried if I hadn't had some confirmation by now.
Mullingar by the way :-D

Maybe a bundle, but not the base model. Did you buy it from a guy off the back of a van?

 

[Messi]

I did my part. Heading out now to get my x1. Ps4 next week. Wheeeeeee

If you paid 500 at gamestop you get the mega bundle. Console is 400 everywhere

 

[Trevelyon]

Ya XBOX ya

Pog my thon ya

Im fooking out her.

 

[Prince Vultan]

Emerald Isle turning it's back on the green team... shameful.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I've got mine on preorder as well, don't think I'll actually pick it up come Friday though.

 

[Darth Sonik]

Definitely waiting until the spring, although the hype has been getting to me.

Likely to get an Xbox first though as my brother is getting one, although the PS4 is looking mighty tempting.

 

[Jamie OD]

Not surprised, we've been high up the list of console sales going back to the PS1 days. Makes me worried I won't be able to find a PS4 next week though.

Best of luck man, fuckin freezing out there!!

 

[Caode]

Best of luck man, fuckin freezing out there!!

Damn right, it's colder than a witches tit out there tonight.

 

[Fergie]

Ireland love their entertainment.

 

[funkystudent]

Didnt Ireland have the highest percentage of PS2's per population in the world or something?

Anyway my plan is to go to a random xtra vision and buy one. No one ever thinks of going to xtra vison because they always forget it still exists.

 

[11redder]

Éire abú

 

[YesManKablam]

Where you guys at?

Mount Merrion here

Tuam.

Spoiler

Shite-hole close to Galway.

Well over 100 people turned up to my local. You'd be surprised who'd turn up.

 

[gofreak]

As I mentioned in another thread, GameStop Ireland sold through all their 2013 allocation of PS4s as of three weeks ago. When I went to update my preorder, they took the preorder list out of an envelope - a thick pile of a4 sheets, with maybe 50 names per sheet.

Trivia: outside of Japan, Ireland had per capita the highest install base of original playstations in the world.

Ahaha <3

 

[YesManKablam]

Double post, cause I'm a fucking idiot.

 

[Conor_Fool]

Hey, and Irishman with the last name Lawlor.

Fuck yeah!

I would if I could. All the near ones closed :/

 

[notoccupanther]

Sony have a PS4 demo stall in Stephens Green from today too btw

 

[Ghost]

That Celtic Tiger rises again.

 

[pureIsometric]

Carlow here fellow Gaffers few more days to go PS4!!

 

[tryagainlater]

Surprised to hear since I haven't met anyone who is buying either next gen console anytime soon. But I rarely talk about games outside of Gaf anyway.

 

[NinjaFridge]

Well you guys should be in the EU SEN thread here. Get your ID's up anyways

Bitch please, Irish-GAF better than that.

 

[Bradach]

Btw lads I got a mail from playstation the other day saying;

Visit our dedicated gaming space, PS4 Rooms, at No. 10 St. Stephens Green, Dublin 2 from November 20th to December 8th where our PS4 experts will be on hand to show you all the amazing features of this powerful console.

I might drop in during the week for a look! They've loads of stuff to play

 

[Gestault]

Good taste will do that to you.

 

[Caode]

I wouldn't mind a trip to that myself... if only it didn't require a 4 hours bus trip to get there.

 

[Muffdraul]

That's really cool, because I am of Irish descent.

 

[RaikuHebi]

It makes sense if you consider their population size.

Which I didn't realise was so small till now. London has more people.

 

[IrishMick]

IrishGAF out in force!

I pre-ordered from shop to, mostly because I left it til really late to order it!
(they had launch day pre-orders until like a week ago or something mad like that)

Spoiler

I wrote this from the vita browser because I'm pure cool like that.

 

[Coxy]

not surprised, everyone I know is asking me about whether they should get one.

 

[Calibus]

So I take it the economy is looking up in Ireland? At least enough for the mass consumption of new PS4s?

Was talking to one my dad's former Irish colleagues a few years ago and he was going on about how scary the Irish/EU recession was.

We're exiting bailout son!

Spoiler

Economy/recession has never stopped us from the buying the latest gear lol

 

[Rixa]

Visited local Gamestop earlier this week, store manager did say that their European HQ is nowadays in Ireland (my guess is due to low taxation). Might be something to do with this?

It's weird. We're still in recession yet we, or at least the younger generations have enough money to buy the latest trends.

I think Ireland is the only place in Europe that GameStop still has a strong retail presence in. We don't have many independent stores, it's all franchises like Tesco, GameStop, HMV, Smyths, PC World and so on.

 

[Zushin]

Consumers in Ireland have also logged the most pre-orders in Europe for the Xbox One console, with Australia having nabbed the most Xbox One pre-orders on a global basis.

This cannot be right, even on a per store basis. PS4 has been sold out for months here, but X1's are still available easily.
