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.
Would you mind telling us where it was manufactured and the date?

Are we going to have our own Euro PS4 Luanch thread or are we all going to rush the beaches of the US thread? I mean those guys did put a lot of work in the OP so we might as well use theirs right?

I attented a Sony launch presentation in their HQ in Amsterdam today.

I've played about 4 hours with the PS4.
Remote play is really awesome, the camera actually works, killzone was beautiful. But they couldn't answer my media serverDLNA questions ;)

We will end up lost in there so better to start a new one.

Mine says Made in Japan as well.

Been playing Warframe from the US PS Store all evening. This console has great promise. I love it.

Dare I say the reason we are paying more is because our units are made in Japan?

Nothing wrong with that if we're getting sturdier systems.

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.

But on the flip side, we have more stock than the rest of Europe.
 
Hmm I am getting "incorrect password" messages when trying to sign in to PSN. Anyone else?

I've changed it now and checked transactions, no funny business occurred but I hadn't changed my password so that is weird!!!

Consider yourselves lucky! I prefer Japan > China manufacturing wise.
It usually is better quality.

A few years back, I was working at an NZ electronics retailer and were dealing with a Chinese family who were looking at computers, and the first thing on their checklist before tech specs was it's origin of manufacture. If it was "Made in China" they didn't want it, which I found rather ironic :)

Guys I've concluded that sleep should no longer be applicable to wait time. Using this rationale I have determined that we only need to wait approx 5.3 days.

Hours per day - hours of sleep average per person = 16 hours
16 x remaining full days (around 8 days from this point in time) = 128
128 / hours per day = 5.3

5.3 days to go people!

They know this better than all of us lol.

Makes sense. Monday it is then.

Hey guys, I wanted to ask something. Sony invited me and my colleague to go to the launch event in Rome. Thing is we can't leave to go back to Milan right after the event since it probably ends after midnight, which leaves us without a place to sleep. We don't know Rome that well and we have no relatives, so we thought about couch surfing. Since the event ends kinda late, it would be best to find someone who is also going. Would any of you kind fellow Italian GAF people have a couch or two on which we could spend the night? We will of course compensate you for your troubles.

Sorry if this is not appropriate but we are just two poor reporters that got the invite last minute.

MADE IN JAPAN!

I hope so, it would stop me being incredibly nervous about it breaking on me.

Anyone thinking about hard drive updates? I might wait until 2014 and see if the 2TB has been released.

Nearly had to cancel my order today, which I have had since May :(

My PC is about to give up after 6 years and I need it for work so I was contemplating getting a PS4 next year instead. Thankfully though I managed to move some money about and get a new one sorted! So new PC build and a PS4 next week, Christmas has definitely come early this year hehehe ;)
 
Probably me, I'm thinking of purchasing a camera to stream with too but I'm unsure, £50 is a lot of money just to have my face added to streams.

Yeah I was thinking that, at the end of the day it's a novelty to me. That'll wear off, and I'll be left thinking why I spent that much money on it.

Yeah, when I stream on PC I don't use my webcam either, I don't see the point of it other than "humanising" the voice, and to be honest we're here for the vidya games, not the human playing 'em.

It's strange to think that it's coming out next Friday. I still need to use up my £9.22 of GAME credit to pre-order BF4.

By the way, those of you complaining about GAME should check out GameStop UK. Their prices are competitive and from what I've heard in the Cheap Arse GAFfer thread, their service is pretty decent too (but don't quote me on that). I know I'll probably be using them a fair bit this generation if they stay competitive.

Gamestop is awesome, you should check out their prices on the DS4 and Camera!!
Gameseek.co.uk is excellent too, they always ship early too on games.

I only order from those two places, since ShopTo sold its soul to the devil.

After this thread, twitter and numerous other sources it's put me in the mindset of thinking that sooner rather then later I should leave my love of ShopTo and use other sites.

What's given you a dislike for them?

If we sleep longer, it will be here sooner!

Hours per day - hours of sleep per person = 10 hours (school/work being a consideration)
10 x remaining full days = 80
80 / hours per day = 3.3 days

It's almost time, get hype!

ShopTo used to be the best, they were very cheap, delivered very fast and had great customer service. Now they're just fast.

Their prices are now akin to GAME's and their customer service is truly horrific, they were being very rude and arrogant to me and dozens of other customers on Facebook and threatened to cancel our pre-orders, just for asking for clarification on the Mega Bundle as people who ordered later were being offered it and those that ordered at the start had some how been skipped in the queue.

Thank you for the response, I think after they've shipped me my PS4 that'll be the last of my dealings with them.

I do enjoy how fast they are, though the picture feature they have seldom works and when I do get a parcel picture it showed me that the label was improperly attached, making me worry for a few days until they told me it would've been replaced.
