Sorry you guys have to wait another week. It is worth it though! Slick looking box, fantastic controller, and vastly improved UI.

The wait is killing me! Still not sure what bundle I'm getting (store owner isn't entirely sure which ones he'll get) but at least I'm set for launch.

I'm almost done. The game is visually amazing, can't believe what they've managed to output on the consoles.
Such a good game as well, enjoying it far more than GTA 4.
In relation to the PS4, going to be jealous when ShopTo most likely ships everyones pre-orders early/as soon as they have stock, and my Amazon pre-order will be held till the day before for release delivery.
In my brain I somehow thought because you had to put the PS3 disc inside it still counted as a physical copy, but it obviously isn't lol.
You slowcoaches! I 100%'d that in in early October

Just ordered the COD hardened edition on PS3 from shoptooo, £55 and with the upgrade only being £10 bit of a bargain really as it includes the season pass too.

Are any of the % completion stats/trophies related to MP? I only found my first serial killer note last night! Things seem to be well hidden. Haven't found any of the UFO parts. I mean I haven't gone seeking them, just keep an eye out during missions.

An amazon.de customer support guy allegedly told an amazon.de forum user, that they won't send the Killzone Megabundle in one shipment, but maybe the console first and the rest later individaully or in small bundles.
I just hope I won't have to pay VAT and import fees for every single item...if that is even true at all.

Multiplayer is not required for 100% completion, but it IS required for 100%ing the trophies.
I only got a handful of the collectables while doing missions. Most I just got using Rockstar's map on their website.

Got my £40 Amazon preorder still active, just wondering whether to cancel or not having just ordered Ghosts and getting KZ bundle already.
Got it for £41.85 from Wow HD, I think it's the cheapest out there. I just hope the majority of the problems have been ironed out. I can't wait to get stuck into 64 player battles. Not played 3 on PC for a while so looking forward to the PS4 version.

A space RPG for me please. Something to make me forget the evil that has befallen the Star Ocean series.
Pretty sure the SONOS home cinema stuff has optical so I don't see why not.

Just in case US beta testing went wrong, here is a picture of a "broken" HDMI port. I don't know if this has been posted before:
http://www7.pic-upload.de/19.11.13/irnjae68rzd.jpg
The circled red part is where you need to press down the metal, to make it look like the piece on the right side. Take a look.
The text says if you try to connect the cable to the port, this piece of metal gets stuck in between the cable and the pins, which means you won't get a working connection.

Thanks for the heads up friend. The first thing I will do when I get mine is to check the HDMI port.
yes indeed!
Only about 9 Days left and I can't be assured that I will get a PS4, or a PS4 Bundle with Killzone, or a Midnight Launch, or if PS4 Games will be available.
I'm more hyped to know all these answers at this point than to have the PS4. I may have to wait until 4 Days before the release to know if I will be able to go to a Midnight Launch and I still need to know if I can get the Bundle with Killzone or not. I was in the very first pre-orders but it's the lack of confidence that the Store may not have units at launch. I have sooo many vouchers waiting to go away, It's the reason I'm able to get the PS4 since it's going to be at such low price.
I'm already prepared to skip some titles I really wanted to have... Knack or AC4 (and more) but those will have to wait. :/
Waiting for the best.

Nab em through the US PSN store via Amazon US. It comes out to around £40.
You don't have anything to worry about since you pre-ordered. I'm the worried one here who didn't decide until recently that I want one at Launch lol.
Well that part was more regarding a proper lack of funds more that the possibility of them to not be available in the Stores fellow GAFfer, but thanks.
I'll just wait a bit for a price drop, it's okay. I'll be hoping for the best.

Do we get the £10 (or whatever $10) PSN in our boxes? If not, why not, Sony?

i thought they changed it to 30 for everyone? thats lame..
Can't wait for mine. Also managed to get a load of money off. It was a traumatic experience but hopefully is all well.
Here's the story anyway:
TLDR: Game really cocked up my order from the start but were dedicated to put it right and keep me happy. I've been a customer of theirs since Electronic Boutique days, so I guess they didn't want me going off elsewhere. I'm really impressed with them, but the real test is whether the PS4 actually turns up on launch day. If not then I'll have Killzone, a DS4 Controller and a PSCamera with nothing to play them on. lol
Here's the story anyway:
Pre-ordered from Game.co.uk and shortly after they cancelled my order but didn't refund me the £20 deposit. They claimed they hadn't got any money but I proved otherwise so they finally refunded me.
They made amends by providing me with £20 Reward Card Points as a goodwill gesture to place my PS4 Preorder again which would cover the deposit.
A few weeks ago, I just popped on to chat to ask 1. When I would get the option to pick a bundle and 2. When I could add my vouchers to my order (I have several Gift Vouchers for payment towards the PS4).
I was told that all bundles were already taken and that I should have added my vouchers when I placed the order. For anyone who doesn't use Game very often, you can't use Vouchers to place Pre-orders on the website. I was so p***ed off, I demanded to speak to a team leader. A few days later I finally spoke to one and after a further few days of investigation on their end everything was sorted.
To make up for not being offered a bundle upgrade, they gave me the difference to order the bits from them seperately via a Gift Card. £64 in this case as I wanted the KZ Mega Bundle. ~£84 up so far!
For some reason then, they upgraded my console to the KZ Mega Bundle, but we'd agreed to a standard console and I order the bits separately. So after another day of working with the Web Admins, the Team Leader managed to get my order cancelled and replaced without losing my place in the queue. A side effect of this was that the £20 reward card points were refunded to me, but the new order was placed for £20 less than the actual price. Another £20 to me! I dropped them an email to let them know, I'm an honest person so just wanted to bring it to their attention, but I never got a reply to it, only to another irrelevant question I asked.
So off I went to a Game Store to place my deposit for the addition bits of my "Bundle" and use my vouchers.

Just dropping in to say for those waiting in Europe that I have been really loving the PS4, and to cross my fingers that BF4 crashes get ironed out before y'all get your copies
Oops. Didn't realise that.
I feel like playing some fun but shit looking games in the run up to PS4 launch, to help make the impact even bigger

Looks like Amazon.com has suspended the sale of the Ps4 while they investigate the hardware issues.
