Uncharted 4 street date broken as thieves steal copies

That might be Amazon not having updated their system entirely to account for the last delay since the game was meant to come out today before the last delay (April 26).
This seems to be the most likely scenario.

If no money has left your account i doubt we get it today
Also something good to remember.

It's totally possible Amazon will send some copies out early by accident but, until we see swarms of people getting theirs, I think it's safe to assume this is just an error.
Man, I hope my copy comes today...
 
Remember guys, about the ebay thing, that all it takes is basic photoshop skills, a color printer, an empty blu-ray case, and access to a shrink wrap machine (which most Gamestop employees, among others, do afaik).

I wish, if that is the case, that Sony would publicly state it if they haven't shipped to retailers yet.

I think its real.

Chatted with Amazon about my order coming Friday when the release date is on the 10th of May and they said it was still on schedule for the 29th but I still have my doubts. Probably just haven't updated their system like someone said here.

EDIT: Ok, all these pictures might be fake, Neil's disc says ''Sony Interactive Entertainment, while the pics that have been going around have the old ''Sony Computer Entertainment'' Dont know if that means anything tho

Also, will the disc be different in NA an EU then? Because ths photo people are sharing has a different disc than the one I saw Neil posting a pic

If only Amazon Uk were this proactive with pre-orders.

Still says 10th of May delivery day, and I question whether I'll get it then. :p

Hmmm fishy, why does it say it will be here but no shipping notification. Even myUPS doesn't know of said shipment, but I do live in an area with Amazon prime now availability...

I was going to cancel and get at best buy on day one too. Lol.

Sony even delays finished games, i just dont understand...

Other put unfinished games on the market and Sony just delays things that are finished, we dont even get huge day 1 patches on Sony games anymore, Ratchet add a 80mb patch lol compare that to some games with huge day 1 updates.

Just release the god damn games if they are finished, now spoilers will be all over the internet, go check youtube tomorrow or so and you will see.

i hope Twitch dont let people stream this neither youtube or ban the videos because i know my friends will see and talk about it to me errrrr...


Microsoft delays finished games as well. Quantum break was done a lot earlier than when it came out. It was delayed to spread out their first party lineup.


Yes, I also find it fucking annoying

I'm gonna say it's fake since Neil's disc has "Sony Interactive Entertainment" on it but the EU one doesn't. The game is coming out over a month after Sony changed to SIE globally so that would be stupid if the US version has that but the EU one doesn't.

Those people who are seeing some suggestions it might be posting early for them, did you pre-order before March 1st? That was when the most recent release date change occurred. If there's no-one who pre-ordered beyond that point with a delivery notification, it might add weight to the argument that this is an error based on the old release date, and amazon not updating their systems.

yep, I made the edit right after posting that. Looks weird to me too
 
oh yeah the "eu" versions have sony computer entertainment on them while neils disc has sony interactive entertainment on it.

That change came in effect for ratchet and clank

Even Sony's EU website still says "Sony Computer Entertainment Europe" while US website has the new name, I would not count on that to tell if it's a fake or not.

Just to reiterate what I posted earlier.

Umm guys, I just checked my bank account and SimplyGames have taken money from my account. I don't use SimplyGames too often - only once to get MGSV early - but do they usually take money from you as soon as you've placed your order or just as they're about to dispatch (because for what it's worth, mine says it's pending dispatch).

If this is the UK, a good bet would be SimplyGames. They broke MGSV's release by a week because of the fact it was a UK bank holiday on MGSV's actual release date. Just ordered there too as well as Amazon on the off chance it's them.

That was due to MGSV releasing Tuesday after a bank holiday, so to guarantee the Tuesday delivery they had to post it at the closest available work day before it.

Not to kill a dream but their website says they take the order payment an hour after the order is placed, not at some point during delivery.

Yeah, if they truly ship these (I doubt they will), it's too late to jump on the train (I tried), BUT, my local retailer just sent me email and I'm getting my copy early Monday, May 9 - woohoo!

And adding to that, I just remembered that in SIE's statement on the day of their name change they specifically said Sony Europe's name won't be changed on April 1:

*2 Responsible for PlayStation business sales and marketing in Europe. Corporate name will not change on April 1, but will change when ready.

So yeah I guess that doesn't confirm it being fake.

"I went in to CEX... to actually buy myself a camera lens," Shabz told us, "and when I went to the counter to purchase the lens I saw behind the shop assistant that there was Uncharted 4 so as a try I said can I also get a copy of Uncharted 4, he just picked it up and rang it through the till. The game cost £55."

Shabz tells us that he's already played the game's first two chapters, and that the single-player campaign "is so far running fine". "May have a few frame drops but not so noticeable," he said, adding that "at heavy firefight it wasn't too bad with framerates".

Multiplayer isn't yet playable, however, he added, with the option currently "greyed out" on the main menu. Trophies aren't yet synching to Sony's servers either, nor is the trophy list viewable in the trophies area. The DLC code included with the Day One Edition, which includes bonus multiplayer DLC, doesn't yet work either, Shabs says.

*cue stampede to CEX*

edit: They don't have it listed on their website at all, so no way to conveniently check if they have it at a store. Probably for the best, there'd be blood on the streets...

I managed to grab Uncharted 2 a week early as well here in the Netherlands. Once street dates are broken somewhere, other stores often will sell you the game too if you specifically ask for it.

Might be worth going out for a stroll through the city center next week.

Strange, CeX never sell sealed copies of games.

"May have a few frame drops but not so noticeable," he said, adding that "at heavy firefight it wasn't too bad with framerates"

Lol. NEO will save us.
 
OK, so as far as I know, some of the ways to avoid spoilers are:

-Avoid YouTube comments
-Avoid Reddit comments
-Avoid most forums

Anything else?

"Pre-Release Media, UK"... couldn't this be just a preorder box? Don't know how they handle this, but some stores over here offer games that are not released as preorder box. It only allows you to pay upfront and to pickup day1

That's not how CEX works. They don't do 'regular' retail at all, everything is pre-owned, there's no pre-ordering.

Holy crap, Amazon says I'll have my copy today too! I live in Florida. No tracking info is provided though. I preordered months ago when they had that brief discount. November 23Rd to be exact
Same with me (in Florida) with no tracking I doubt I'll get it.

Thanks for the info... guess Sony should just release the game with it being available at so many places (it seems)^^
