It is right now. I bought it and started downloading it at 5:30 this morning.
On PS4. I don't know about PS3 but I assume it's the same.

How hard is this game? Its been a while since I played FPS on PC so I wonder what difficulty to start with 
Sorry, to quote myself, but this thread is moving along quickly.

I'm playing on Über difficulty and so far it hasn't been difficult at all. I'd say that it's as difficult as Rage was.

You can change difficulty on the fly so don't worry about it too much. I will say that on normal I'm constantly passing health packs I don't need, so maybe it's a bit easy? Although if you have trouble it's not like running back to get a healthpack you passed is very viable when you're fighting 8 guys. Difficulty is also vastly affected by how "smart" you play. It rewards actually trying to aim and keep control your gun rather than vaguely pointing at people and spraying.How hard is this game?

Well popping home for lunch today was indeed fruitful. Huzzah!
Physical extras aren't up to much. The guide book is decent paper stock and saddle stitched and has a few humorous tidbits but probably won't get a second look in, there's 3 postcards lampooning The Beatles Abbey Road cover and 2 others (can't be bothered to open them up sorry) and a hideous shiny, plasticy card holder that no one in their right mind would use.
Still can't grumble at the same price as the standard ed and at a smidge over £17 can't complain about the price either.
Now just have to wait 2 bloody days to download it
Why don't you install it via DVD? No disc drive? I've got a physical copy and I'm installing it via disc through steam.
Yeah I haven't had an optical drive in a PC of mine in about 7 years. Going to install it on an old laptop at work and copy the files over to save my sanity. 4 DVD's though!
Did you fully install and patch before starting to play? I know the One allows you to play while it background installs, but I suspect that could be the issue...that or the patch maybe needs to install fully before play.
Does the disk bottom look clean?
I hope you get it worked out. It's a sucky feeling when you can't play a game you've been so stoked to play.

Uber seems like the only way to play, you die rather quickly but its offset by your mobility/arsenal and the absurd amount of health/armor pickups scattered about.

It's taken me an hour and a half maybe? That sounds like a good solution. Yeah I never use my DVD drive but the thought of downloading that many GB's forced me to remember I had an optical drive.

Is the game 1080p and 60fps on both Xbox One and PS4 ?
I'm thinking of picking this tonight, decisions, decisions...

Easy. I'm at chapter 5 and died 10 times total so far on Uber. 5 of those were silly, fucking-about deaths. You can adjust the difficulty ingame as you play if you start having trouble. Medpacks are fucking everywhere in this game.
Yes, though there have been reports of the XB1 version having worse textures. Digital foundry should have an analysis out soon.

Thanks ! My decision of picking this is getting closer and closer to a yes.
Just do it, you won't regret it.
Is that the new Russian age restriction design? Looks atrocious.So, I joined PS3 version master race:
The "Not permitted for children" line is especially laughable.
The sound mixing on the PS4 is some of the worst AAA sound design I've ever heard.
Some people say theirs sounds fine. Does the PC have better mixing?
I wasn't even paying attention to the game until this OT. Great job. I'll have to look into it, the reviews are much better than I anticipated. Just not sure if I want it on PS3 or PS4. Kind of odd [to me] that on PS3 it's filesize is just under 18GB but on PS4 it's 43.7GB. If I get physical copy for PS4, it installs it to the hard drive anyways, right?

Mine isn't fine either on PS4. 7.1 surround sound and its practically wasted. Quiet speaking, guns sound like pea shooters, no sense of depth at all.
I feel like I'm playing wrong when I stealth through one of the sections with a commander. Has stealth always been a part of Wolfenstein games, or is this new to the series (I haven't played a lot of the older ones)?
Yeah, I can barely hear BJ's inner monologue and sometimes NPCs are hard to hear.
It's always kinda been a part of it. Just seems to be more of a focus now.
Stealth in Wolf games? Fuck that man in RTWC and Wolf 09 I killed EVERYTHING.
Damn, was really hoping for a loud as hell gun sounds, this is sometihng that could be patched no?
Adding more volume and Sound Settings, I have the Gold Wireless Headset and it will kill me if it sound all muted.
I would visit support.bethsoft.com if you're using the recommended drivers and still having an issue.
This was a nice suprise to see
It doesn't contain story spoilers, but to be sure.

Turn up the volume?
That's really disappointing to hear. Sound is such an underrated aspect of games, and it can make or break a game for me, especially in regards to gunplay. I found the gun sounds in particular sorely lacking in the footage I've seen so far.
Some stealth played a part of the original id Wolfenstein games, they designed it so you could run behind patrolling enemies and stab them before they noticed you. It wasn't that effective but they kept it in there because the original original Wolfenstein games on the Apple II were pretty much pure stealth games.
They even had the player dragging bodies to hide them during the beta version but cut it out before release.

I'll pick this game at some point, don't want to drop 60 bucks on it now but will definitely get it when it drops to 39.99 or less

I'm watching a buddy of mine playing right now and he's stuck at the beginning of the game where he needs to fire at a guy's feet through a sort of crack in the door. The feet he needs to fire at only appears as shadows and he can't advance.
edit: nevermind, he only had to lean into the crouch position. Greatest puzzle of the entire game right there.

Tip: The perk requirements don't reset when you restart a checkpoint/die. So you can't grind them out if you have the patience.
