However, I know I will get a PS4 and Xbox One eventually so I might as well get one at launch. I have done with the PS2 and PS3 before hand. So I think I'll get it at launch. I just don't mind waiting. Plenty for me to do in the meantime.

I'm pary of the older crowd, I've thought about cancelling for similar reasons, but fuck it.

I can't let go, I've been gaming since the Binatone came out.

I still don't know for sure what game(s) I'll pick up. None of the launch titles are must haves for me. But I definitely want the system day one. I preordered it right after the E3 presentation and the hype has only grown stronger.

This is how I feel, except a certain 50th Anniversary(Doctor Who) is only making the waiting for both that and the PS4 even worse.

I'm unsure about which bundle to buy:

http://www.fnac.pt/Sony-PS4-500GB-Ki...yStation-4BLO3

on top of the bundle I also have to add the PS plus, so the first bundle is more attractive now...

I probably won't be getting one until around Christmas (and perhaps beyond that if there isn't any decent games announced soon enough (WHY IS THERE NO RIDGE RACER FOR LAUNCH!?)), so it'll be an even long enough wait for me.

Treat the US as are beta testers. They can put up with any crap and have it solved by are release.

Many going for the midnight release in UK Cornwall?

I'm sort of glad the US gets to test a lot of things out, like the HDD speed stuff and whatnot. I had to raise an eyebrow at the stories about defective units, but so far it doesn't seem to be a massive problem.

On the other hand, I sadly couldn't get my hands on one of those bundles and there doesn't seem to be ANY retailer in the Netherlands doing any sort of deals. In fact they're charging 5-10 Euros more per game more than the official price. I would almost say it deserves some looking into by the government, because it kind of reeks when I see all these other countries making these deals and so on.

But at any rate...I can wait those 2 weeks. Better than being considered a tier whatever country by Microsoft and having to wait months for launch if you're an Xbone buyer.

I've got the PS4 and Killzone bundle pre-ordered at Amazon. They haven't updated it with an estimated date yet but at least the price and bundle are correct now. I am worried about getting a bricked console though.

Give me Uncharted 4 (-:

If you're going to Argos, do not buy the games there, they are more expensive then majority of the other retailers.

I'm personally getting the Killzone mega bundle with NFS: Rivals & some other game i still have not decided on. I'm super jealous at the moment and cannot stop watching streams on Twitch of people using their PS4.

First off, I hope mine bloody works when it turns up on the 29th. If it does..

I have the Killzone mega bundle coming with the charging cradle, NBA2k, N4S, Battlefield, AC4 and I might possibly add Knack and Injustice to the list for variety. I'm a Plus subscriber so things are good there, looking forward to Reso and Contrast. Curious for the F2P games since I haven't tried either before.

The wait, tho.. The long wait. I am glad I'll have a sense of what each game might be like and like others have said hopefully some games will have patches waiting for us to install by the time we get them. Hopefully these next 2 weeks go by pretty quick :)

It's going to be a long 2 weeks but it will be worth it. I am a little bit worried about getting a faulty unit but with the low % rate of failures I'm trying to put it at the back of my mind.

I'm gettingy PS4 with KZ and CoD Ghosts. Game are doing an offer where you can pick up the stand for half price so I'll get that and I can get Lego Marvel half price as well so I might pick that up with it

I can't wait for this to come out, I have decided to go all out on this launch, these are what I am getting for the launch. I'm getting the PS4 with call of duty ghosts limited edition.

Games:
  • Call of duty Ghosts,
  • Killzone
  • AC IV
  • FIFA 14
  • Knack
  • BF4
  • Injustice gods among us GOTY
  • Need for speed rivals
  • Resogun
  • Contrast
  • Trine 2
  • blacklight retribution
  • Warframe
  • DC Universe online
Will also see what other games appeal to me on PSN.

Accesories:
  • Playstation camera
  • Sony pulse elite edition
  • PS Vita 3G and wifi with 10 game megapack
  • elgato game capture hd
  • Samsung 32 inch 1080p full HD smart tv with 120hz

I am also deciding on if I should get the 4 gamers connector and charger pack, officially licensed gold plated HDMI and gold plated 2M charge cable for £17.99 or if I should stick with the HDMI it comes with, though I have heard that seems to be causing trouble and just get a 3M orb charging cable or just get none.

KZ + cam megabundle. Totally undecided on another game. Cancelled Knack pre-order after seeing reviews and streams. Just read a glowing review of NFS, but kinda burnt out on racers, just dunno.
Getting so many free + ftp games with it helps me hold off for a while, plenty to play.

Not scared, problems seem very minimal, and I went through 2 launch consoles in a year. The ps4 seems like a very well made bit of kit.
Also any firmware issues, I'm guessing HDCP handshake, will be worked out by our ex-colonial friends over there :-)

I'm expecting faults on our launch as well just not as many as the US ones cause hopefully they will be sorted out by then. If it happens it happens, that's why we have warranties (I hope it doesn't happen to me or anyone else here :P)

I played my first game - Space Invaders - on one of these when I was 4 1/2:



36 years later, my second child due 19th November, and I'm getting. PS4. I've loved every minute.

Bundle: KZ Gamer Pack and a charging cradle.

Worried: nah, if it's borked I'll get a new one either direct from Amazon or with the refund money. I'm old, I've got patience.

Games: BF4, have AC4 on the Xmas present list, currently umming about NFS. From PS+ RESOGUN, War Thunder, Contrast, Flower & the cross buys and whatever else takes my fancy. Although I've got a reasonably ninja PC PS3 is my main gaming fix, so I'm of the opinion that the launch line up has plenty of things to keep me entertained.

What really kicked my hype off was the Oxo tower takeover, it feet like th proper start - and it feels like Playstation is coming home to the UK after its brief affair with the 360 ;)

I've explicitly explained what's going to go down, but I don't think she really believes me, y'know?

This shit was easier when we didn't live together. I could tell her I'd see her in a few days and she'd get on with her life. Now it's like "I'm just in the next room. Why don't you spend time with me?"

Woman, please.

Oh I've been there my friend. Luckily there is a solution to the problem.
Its called a Vita.
Stopped me spending all my time in the man-cave, she's happier, and I'll be able to play PS4 soon as a bonus.
Good times. Saw an ad during the England game just now, Vita + 10 games for £139, Argos I think.
