Hi Guys,

One of the biggest electronica shops in Netherlands and Germany is telling us PS4 is coming on Nov 13. I was just in MediaMarkt store in Amsterdam and took a picture.

Edit 1: The same store has a great offer: buy two games and get the third for free!!

PlanetSmasher · Jun 20, 2013

Huh. So if this is true, that means retailers are going to be getting PS4 games before the actual consoles? Has that happened before?

Roxas · Jun 20, 2013

late October for US/ Mid November for EU sounds about right

MMaRsu · Jun 20, 2013

OW SHIT

Coincides with the bol.com release date for PS4 as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the dates for Knack too.

140.85 · Jun 20, 2013

Could this date be just for Amsterdam though?

Duxxy3 · Jun 20, 2013

That is later than I would expect. I figured it would be out before call of duty (and battlefield).

Wii U

Canis lupus · Jun 20, 2013

Nice date for Europe

Crimson_Gold · Jun 20, 2013

I'll just wait for the official announcement. Likely at Gamescom.

Please quote humongous photographs!

Certinty · Jun 20, 2013

Watch Dogs is confirmed to be a launch title though, so I don't see how this works...

Foshy · Jun 20, 2013

Would've liked an October release, but I'd be ok with this.

YuriLowell · Jun 20, 2013

Wonder if NA is earlier or later.

Az · Jun 20, 2013

Very nice. That's a Wednesday.

Nope, my dad saw the same poster in Klagenfurt (Austria) today

Midas · Jun 20, 2013

Could be legit. This retailer likes to leak things. In Sweden, they advertised the iPad release date before Apple in one of the biggest papers. Apple were not happy.

Is your screen resolution 800x600?

Yes, many times.

If it isn't the same, it is likely earlier. I'm just glad that EU is getting it this year. EU deserves love.

DaBuddaDa · Jun 20, 2013

November 1st for NA. Calling it.

Samyy · Jun 20, 2013

Are they doing NA EU at the same time? I would prefer it a little earlier so i could use it when i wasn't drowning in schoolwork

Bowler · Jun 20, 2013

this may confirm my US date thread of 10/29

GK86 · Jun 20, 2013

I don't see the release date on that photograph.

The release date works for me.

Usobuko · Jun 20, 2013

EuroGAF, is that to your liking?

Kyoufu · Jun 20, 2013

I hope that's not too far behind the NA date.

Happens often from what I recall

Durante · Jun 20, 2013

Saw this in Austria. Seems quite likely at this point.

ymmv · Jun 20, 2013

BOL.com in the Netherlands has the same release date:

Midnight Moon · Jun 20, 2013

on a Wednesday? o-O

Jawohl!

IMBored · Jun 20, 2013

That's not a bad release date for EU, that way they can probably release in US mid October.

Edit: Wait, I'm seing this wrong, mid Nov means probably EU and US at the same time, before black friday. If so, great for them, if they have decent supply.

VanquishUK · Jun 20, 2013

My birthday! What a present.

Wii U. Several 3rd party games were available for sale a week in advance.

Jay Sosa · Jun 20, 2013

Can't see shit, pics way too small.

Only every game console launch in history. You must be young

smr00 · Jun 20, 2013

November is the obvious date because it's before black friday and you would be a fool to release it in December.

I am still hoping on a October date for US.

It takes up my entire 1920x1080 screen. There are also mobile browsers you have to worry about as well.

Boss Man · Jun 20, 2013

Well that seems pretty legit. I mean, it'd be weird for them to have signage like that and it doesn't look shopped or anything.

10/29 for U.S. would be awesome.

That's an understatement. It's not just one of the biggest -- it's the biggest. And not just in Netherlands and Germany but all of Europe. I think it's the second biggest electronic chain in the entire world, second only to Best Buy.

Launches frequently mean games come into stock before the console. Wouldn't be the first time.

dmr87 · Jun 20, 2013

You should ask the staff who gave them the date or if they pulled it out their ass. I'll hold the hype until Sony tells us the official date.

WJD · Jun 20, 2013

Makes sense. With Xbox One replicating the 360 and going late November in the US/Early December EU.

Feorax · Jun 20, 2013

So MS has a two week window in November if they want to get in first. Could be tough if they have the rumoured yield issues, unless they've been particularly conservative with pre-order allocation.

Nikodemos · Jun 20, 2013

Staggered launch confirmed? (Late Oct. - USA, Mid Nov. - EU, Early Dec. - AUS/NZ, Late Jan/Early Feb - Asia)?

Cyborg · Jun 20, 2013

I made the photo smaller.........sorry for the large photo

Arjen · Jun 20, 2013

Same date shows up on their website

bidguy · Jun 20, 2013

guys this is probably true
mediamarkt is massive in germany
