Your next-gen preorders, show us your goods GAF

I haven't pre-ordered anything yet, but as soon as my boss gets back to me we will, and then I'll pre-order this right away:

  • PlayStation 4
  • Dual Shock 4
  • PS Eye Camera
  • PS4 Stand
  • DS4 Charger/Stand
  • PS Plus 1-year Subscription
  • Wireless Pulse Elite headset
  • FIFA 14
  • Battlefield 4
  • Killzone: Shadow Fall
  • DriveClub
  • Watch Dogs

  • Xbox One
  • Xbox One controller
  • Xbox Live 1-year Subscription

  • Wiimote + nunchuck
 
It's not just a few dollars off. People really don't pay attention. First off, you guys do know that every October, there is a B2G1 on all games sale right? It's like clockwork. If you don't, then it really shows you don't pay attention to sales. That's ok, not everyone does, but if you do, sales become predictable.

Vita had B2G1, 3DS had B1G1@50%, PSP had B2G1, and Wii U had B1G1@40% at one place, but also had B2G1 either somewhere at launch or really shortly after. So that's minimum 20% off all games, and as high as 33% off all games. It's not worth preordering because of this.

Wii U its games for sale like that before it even launched? I can understand the Vita as it had been out for a while and was doing horribly, so putting games on sale makes sense, and 3DS has also been out for a while. But I had no idea they'd do that with brand new systems.

I'll keep an eye out anyway.

All of those sales were on day 1 at launch of their respective systems.

Check out the date of my Vita thread that I linked to.

Battlefield 4
Infamous SS
Destiny

Will probably get KZ:SF at price drop or used since I don't dot he online thing for those games.
 
Just the ps4 itself, no need to preorder the games at least right now. Will look out for some deal for the controllers, maybe there will be some small bundles like get a game and controller for 10 bucks off or something.

- Extra Dualshock controller
- PS4 stand
- Watchdogs
- AC4

- Madden (wasn't impressed with current gen demo, so probs won't get this)

All of this with a nice discount from work. Oh yeah! So hyped
 
PS4 day one edition from Amazon. Nothing else pre-ordered, though I'll probably pick up Watch_Dogs for it on launch day. Maybe COD: Ghosts? Haven't played a COD game since Blops 1 and I'm itching to play a retail FPS on the DualShock 4.
 
I ordered and fully paid for GTAV on PS3.

That's about it for now.

Currently just have the PS4 preordered and I expect to have to cancel it, but who knows. Ideally, preorder list would look like:

PS4
Knack
Watch_Dogs
ACIV
1 extra controller
CoD Ghosts (not for me but the GF loves CoD)
MAYBE Madden

Edit: and OF COURSE Infamous Second Son would be on there. I was only thinking about launch
 
PS4

CoD Ghost
BF4
Killzone 4
AC4
Watch Dogs

That's it for now. I cancelled my Xbone order about a month ago. I was going to get that and it's exclusives as well, but instead decided to wait for Titanfall release. The PS4 will get my multiplatform releases this gen. Xbone for exclusives only.
 
What is the justification for pre-ordering some of these games?

Some of these are so far out from release and we know next to nothing about them. Halo for example, we have seen one teaser shot of that game, that is it.

Do you not have to put money down for these pre-orders? Or is it free until a later date.

Amazon only charges you when they ship.

Still, Halo's one of my favorite franchises.
 
Xbox One Day One Edition with FIFA 14 download
Dead Rising 3
Forza Motorsport 5 (switching to Limited Edition as soon as it is available on Amazon UK)
Ryse: Son of Rome
Extra controller with Play & Charge

I'm planning to get more games, probably digital. Still have PS4 preorder but I'm going to cancel it.
 
Ok I had it right.

I am debating on one more game but I'm sure getting DD stuff on PSN thanks to plus and stuff like Minecraft on the PS4.

99% sure I won't be getting the XB1 preorder unless something awesome comes up between now and launch.

My girlfriend will be paying for the PS4 for my birthday :D
 
Just pre-ordered the PS4 for the minute. Hoping to live off PSN+ with Resogun and Driveclub for the time being. Saving for a house deposit hasn't helped my cause.

I liked the preorder bonus stuff for BF4. The rest of the games I'll be doing digitally, or through any deals (fingers crossed for a B2G1 like mentioned above). Though I did just preorder Watch Dogs for PS4. I might not be keeping the PS4 either. Finances are tight :(
