PS4 official European waiting thread - come here and wait with us!

I'm happy for the people getting their PS4s early, jammy sods :)
I must be one of the few people that can't wait for the 29th but also don't want it delivered before then. I start some holiday that day so if my PS4 arrives early it'll probably be a pain in the butt to get delivered for the weekend.

I'm going to be really frugal in december after the splurge this month i think. Aside from raiding my savings again for christmas presents for folks that is.
 
Oh man I hope I don't get banned or something lol. That would suck so badly.. I'm kinda afraid :/

You don't got a Xbox One early (SCNR). Looking at the reccent history Sony is unlikely to ban your console - there might be some rough edges because the EU network might no be 100% up.

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

Yeah there's no chance of getting it early I believe shopto haven't sent any Xbone yet so it's a good indication that PS4 won't get sent till day before

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.

Your PSN should work? Mine does, here in the UK, the UK PsStore doesnt though.

Btw.. For reference, my completely working 100% with no fault what-so-ever console was from Amazon.com (US) Made in September.

Also have yet to use my "FREE" 10$ points and 30day PsPlus trial for my US account :p - altho prob wont use this account past the next couple weeks.

Ordered mine from ISME (I know) and girlfriend recently changed billing address so it shows date ordered as of last week with new delivery date of March 2014! They have assured me I'm still getting launch stock but I'm still :-/

My biggest question is whether it will be possible to purchase digital PS4 games from Amazon US without any issues. I really hope so. If it even initiates the download from the UK PS Store then even better, otherwise at least a US Account would work (and it should if it's like PS3 of course). But then would Remote Play be possible for those accounts?

If it's late you should demand Carol Voderman deliver it personally.

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?

Does it list the games and blurays. Can you post them?

£29.99 is good value for PS+

I got an introduction offer for Battlefield 4 and NFS: Rivals.

Do these titles require an Origin account for online play? I would expect atleast BF4 to require one.

If I need an Origin account, I think I'll skip the offer.

From my experience so far, I would have to say, if you have a US Playstation account and you download from Amazon US app, you will need to play it from that account. The game will "show" on your UK account (obv same PS4) when you sign in but it will say you dont have the correct licence. Shouldnt be an issue if you dont mind playing on your US account.

My US account is the onlyway I can play Blacklight retribution, Warframe, DC Universe + a few demos etc...Otherwise I would be stuck with disk only games due to lack of UK PsStore.

Thanks for the in-depth reply. I hope Remote Play will support it too and not just lock me to my UK account.

One reason to watch countdown. or 8 outa 10 cats does countdown which is a million times better
You mean Countdown XXX lol.

...or the gadget show....



Nah.

£29.99 is good value for PS+

Sure, these are the options
£5 off Games: Battlefield 4, FIFA 14, Need for Speed: Rivals, Madden 14 or NBA 2k14
£12.99 Blurays: The Wolverine, Pacific Rim, Despicable Me 2, Man of Steel, Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, Kick Ass 2 with UV Copy
Half price Accessories: GAMEware Starter Pack, GAMEware Vertical Stand, Licensed 4G Wireless Gaming Headset
£10 off Online: PSN+ 12 Month Subscription

The codes are only good for one use and one per transaction and expire on the 12th December.
I'll be taking them up on the PS+ subscription as that seems decent.

Any places selling the Killzone PS4 Gamer Bundle?

I saw they had some more in stock at amazon while I was at college but now I'm home it's gone back to unavailable.

It was only £30 more than my GAME preorder of the normal Killzone bundle and came with an extra controller and the camera

Nice, thanks. Was thinking to get pacific rim bluray, might pick that up, and top up my PS+. Already getting NFS for £40 in their basic bundle, and lego half price.

Shame no deal on ACIV

Just got an unexpected e-mail that a very late reservation attempt has secured me a Killzone bundle at launch.

I'll probably cancel my Amazon.de mega bundle as they still haven't got a ship date yet.
 
Just checking my order receipt from ShopTo and they gave me a discount on AC4 :-O

it was 49.85 and they gave it me for 40.86 which is not bad :-D

I well definitely be getting a load more PS4 games with them and well no way in hell be paying the price GAME are asking for next gen games.

Interesting to see what supermarkets start selling Xbox One games this Friday for. Hopefully £45 and under with the PS4 following that.
 
I've been messing around with the console for some time now, god damn it's amazing! Especially the controller, it's SO good compared to the DS3 and dare I say I even like it more than the 360 controller which I think would never happen.

I managed to update the console to the latest FW 1.51 but PS Store is not online yet however I could link my PSN ID and chat with friends etc.

All in all an amazing product, bless you Sony.

So close now... 9 more days! What if its late? What if its a faulty PS4? What if the DS4 disintegrates? What if my daughter sticks cheese in the disc slot?

Simply games have a banner on your order info for both xbone and ps4. They are dispatching Thursday by dpd for delivery Friday. 22 and 29, so no luck with them either.

Gameseek are still showing my ps4 as preorder still.

It looks like the uk has had a warning and no one is breaking the street date :( on either console.
 
I am officially starting my transition to next gen. Just sold my PS3 on Amazon, currently 10 minutes into an 18 hour long PS3 restore.

Where is the cheapest place to buy AC4 at the moment.
