PS4 Pre-Order Thread! Where are you getting yours?

Snake Plisken

Just wondering where boardies are going to get their PS4's? Are they going to buy it online? Buy it from the likes of Gamestop/Smyths/HMV/Xtravision? Or going Amazon/other online retailers?

Customs are stopping everything they can now for extra revenue. Anything coming from outside the EU is a target for VAT.

Am I Evil?

Got a phone call from Gamestop in the Cresent today offering me the chance to upgrade to 1 of three bundles with the Killzone mega bundle being exclusive to early pre orders.

I of course choose to go with the Killzone mega bundle :pac:

You should get the games from Amazon, they are cheaper and you have the price guarantee, that or use a site like https://www.videogamesplus.ca/ were you can get PS4 games for €45 including delivery, thats what I am doing.

is it true that you cannot play your own ps4 games on someone elses console?

they can only be played on one console?

Disk-based games work like they do now - just put the disk in your friend's PS4 and work away.

Downloaded games also work. As long as you are logged into your PSN on your friend's PS4, you can access all of your games too.

I have my fingers
chewed to the bone at this stage. I preordered with gamestop in store and still can't get a straight answer about the killzone bundle or any bundle for that matter.

Lord Spence

Was in smyths today ennis road limerick and confirmed my bundle order went for the €499 Killzone and Camera Bundle, they took my old pre order receipt and gave me a new one with my bundle on it. Told me they are getting 31 consoles on day 1 and more before Christmas but said it would be less then they got for day one. Happy its all sorted now cant't wait for Nov 29th to stop all this talk and actually have it in my hand. I feel sorry for anyone who is being messed around about bundles it really is a disgrace !

I've been told that Gamestop online customers will be offered €10/20 off an additional controller and games ect, but even at that ( if it is €20 for each) it's still not as good as the €500 Killzone pack not unless I can add more than 1 game and I'd say it's going to be a very limited offer.

If you go by Amazons Prices, to get the Camera, Controller and Game would be a extra €188 Euro, so Gamestop need to offer at least €88 in discounts to make it on par with the €499 Killzone Bundle.

Hi yea I order Titanfall off them doh never buy a game off them before only downside it take 10 to 14 day to deliver.

It usually comes quicker than that, have ordered on a Saturday before and it arrived on the following Friday, it is the only site I use now unless I really want something on the day, although sometimes Amazon can be cheaper for new games.

Can someone ask gamestop on twitter if they are honoring early online pre orders for launch day. I would but I have been complaining so much to them when they seem to have stopped replying to me now!

Just checked their twitter the tweet count hasn't changed for the past 4 hours at least.

Thats Sh!ty about those of you who pre-ordered online not being offered bundles. I would go stone cold on them if it was me in that situation. Another reason why i prefer dealing with them face to face in stores. Seems you can get away with stuff like that easier if its ordered online.

In Solidarity with those affected on this thread i shall not buy off GameStop Online anymore either.

Getting my Killzone mega bundle and BF4 off them on launch night, but all other games i'll get from amazon.

"Power to the Players" Indeed.

Does anyone know if Gamestop online are guranteeing a console if you have ordered before a certain date? Ordered at the end of June so I figured I was sorted but this talk of such low quantities going into Smyths has me somebit aprehensive.

The page on the website says that anything after the 7th August isn't guaranteed, but the way they have been ignoring questions around online orders is a bit worrying. It seems like they have forgotten about them.

People on twitter have asked them if they are guaranteed a launch day sale for having pre-orders from July, but they responded asking them if their orders were in store or online. Wouldn't think it'd matter either way if their pre-orders were from July.

I haven't pre-ordered one, so by the sounds of things I shouldn't expect to be getting one till at least Jan/Feb!

Silly me not pre-ordering it ages ago when I knew I'd be getting one at some stage.

Is it worth pre-ordering one now or has that ship completely sailed?

You might as well have your name in the mix now. At least you'll have one when they do become available.

Only real reason I went with Gamestop over Shopto or Amazon was because of the free delivery and getting it on launch day as opposed to the possibilty of getting it on the Monday or Tuesday with Amazon/Shopto. Dunno why I didn't just do it instore :pac:
