Waiting got a little bit harder this morning:

This wait is really dragging now. I don't remember it seeming so slow for the PS3 launch.

On the plus side, Tearaway, Zelda and Mario should make the last 7 days fly.
 
Amazon.es just confirmed me that I will not be getting my KZ Bundle till Dec. 4

I highly doubt it, but if I can get any other preorder at retail in a local store that can assure launch day, Amazon is losing my preorder.

They've dissapointed me, in the worst possible scenario. For the first time.

:/
 
The time is really starting to drag for me now, 9 days just seems so far away :(

I think its worse because the initial buzz has worn off a little US side because its out and people are busy playing, also because the XBone is about out too so for us Euro folk there isnt really much new PS4 news to tide the time over with :(

Just a heads up, I went to Argos here in Ireland and found a leaflet advertising the console launches. In the PS4 bundles section it lists what you get inside each bundle (Dualshock, HDMI cable, power cord, etc). What I noticed is among the items listed is "14 Day PS Plus". No mention of a Sony Music trial subscription or PSN Store voucher.

Also the bundle pricing is weirdly expensive, to the point where I think it's a mistake. The Knack, Killzone and AC4 bundles are €524.99 and from what I can see it doesn't have anything extra that you wouldn't get from buying the €400 console and €60-€70 game seperately. I think it's a mistake because they also have a deal where you can get a PS4 and Marvel Lego for €429.99. I can post a pic of the page for proof if necessary.

Get in there, now processing with ShopTo. Had to phone them though as my bank informed me of a suspicious transaction. It turns out it wasn't from ShopTo but I got them to process my order to make sure that it went through

Roll on the 29th, can't wait !!
 
Anyone from Sweden that knows if any stores will have units on sale on the 29th? I missed on the preorders (bad economy). But would absolutely love to have one unit on release.
 
Aww, you could have hooked a gaffer up..

I'm not from the UK though
But some happy person in Germany just got bumped up in the queue ;D

Anyway, I hope there won't be a real shortage for anyone, apart from launch week, at least I don't want so see PS4s going for 1000€ (and curse myself for being too nice/lazy to make profit of that) ;)

Yeah I cancelled a launch standard KZ bundle last week after having my Amazon order upgraded to the gamer pack. Thing was it was more expensive then elsewhere as it was being purchased through Very £400

Can't wait for next Friday now though, going to head in to work early so I can get out of there early too!

el stupido question - what are the chances Amazon UK sends the PS4 out on a Thursday? I think only one time in history I received a product from them the day before release so I consider this unlikely. :p
 
Big time buddy, big time!

As 33 year old it's like Xmas when I was a kid ........ pure anticipation and excitement.

Same age as me mate. Same emotions as well.

My 3 year old daughter asked me today what Santa is bringing me, ps4 I said.......and it's Santa is bringing mine a month before yours ;)
 
Woot! Kind of :)

Just had an email from GAME offering codes for £10 discount on PS4 games, BluRays for £12.99, half price peripherals and £0 off 12 month PSN+

I'm definitely tempted to jump in on the PSN+ deal, £29.99 is not bad is it?

Anyone knows what they specifically mean with that it's available for Christmas? Is this close to it or does it just mean starting from 29 november? (This is for amazon)

One and a half week guys! It's so surreal and I can't wait. :)

Actually I'm not that hyped, probably because I still don't know if I'm receiving my FIFA 14 on launch day. :/

No worries, but do let us know when you get it :)

Just picked up my PS4 from the post office! Totally surreal, as I have worked hard to suppress my hype, and now suddenly it's here. No PSN yet though, and I didn't order any games. Guess I'll watch a Blu-Ray :)

Edit: I'm in Norway, ordered from Elkjøp.

I just started working at GAME today, and we got the call in the morning that all next gen games are £59.99 RRP :(

Damn, it really sucks man. I went from potentially getting all my games from GAME to being personally annoyed at the price (I actually thought the store ripped me off). To now considering buying all my games digitally or at Amazon (especially if im saving, £12 ish) Alot of my mates are aware of this also.

This is a time when GAME needs to be competitive, there are more options online and now with DIGITAL downloads/Amazon going to be pushing on PS4, it will hurt GAME, in a big way. Especially at £60... Im buying my Killzone Megabundle from them and thats me done probably. (obviously selling the PS4 as I dont need 1, taking the DS4, Killzone + Camera out, putting it into the standard box I got and a fella in work will take it off my hands for non profit)

Why don't you buy digitally from Amazon.com? Assuming you've a decent broadband connection you can redeem the code on your us psn account and just play them on your usual UK main account. Plus they work out at about £38.

Problem is at the minute, I can only access my US account game on that account, even tho those games "appear" on my UK account, I was elated when I seen them all on my UK account after downloading them... but low and behold, went to launch the game from UK account and boom! Need a license so wont play (Basically they are tied to a US account)

I did see the Amazon app on the US account, gonna check out the prices of the digital games, hope its a UK feature also.

The wait is making me do stupid things. I bought another Vita after selling my last one. Going to play Killzone whilst taking a shit. Life long dreams are coming true.

Well I be ... Congratulations, I'm amazed they sent it out this early, I obviously ordered it from the wrong store.

Fuck, I hope that is only temporary and it works when the UK store is up.

So Norway broke the street date!
C'mon Sony push the button early, let's do this.

My stupid friend said he didn't want PS4 so I cancelled my extra order. Now the hype is getting to him... Right now there is no stock anywhere right (UK)? At a reasonable price, ie not the £629 bundle at Zavvi lol.
 
Changed my game preorder today to the mega bundle. Selling both controllers that cone witb it to get a blue one.

Works out as killzone, ps4, camera for 400.

Midnight attendance will be happening!
 
Do you think ShopTo or any of the other online store's well dispatch early ?

They probably have loads of order's to get through and i'd imagine they would start the dispatch process by the end of the week at the latest and going into the weekend.

They have said they won't despatch till next Thursday. You never know though. I doubt it however.

We can all go back to waiting for the despatch email not that the orders are processing

They can/will dispatch early but they will put a note through to the delivery companies that the product is to be delivered on the 29th.
