It's still 5 or 6 weeks to release day. I can see why people think that it's quite reasonable to order one this far away from launch. In fairness, how many things do you have to pre-order months in advance? PS2 was launched nearly 14 years ago. PS3 was launched nearly 7 years ago. Current, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, may not have had children asking for a console back that long ago, etc. Also, wasn't the PS3 launched in March? Santa didn't arrive for another 9 months, so any delay wasn't as big of a problem. Hopefully everyone who wants before Christmas will get one, regardless of when they pre-ordered/order.

v3ttel wrote: » Nope. I originally went for the Watch Dogs bundle. Changed it to the bundle with Killzone, extra controller & camera as soon as the news of the Watch Dogs delay broke. My order hasn't been updated, but I think they said it would be within 7 days. I'd feel a lot happier if it was updated, especially seeing as I had to fart around with changing my original choice. It should be fine anyway, but I'll be a bit nervous until I actually open the PS4 box on the day. Earlier in the year they sent me the wrong delivery completely (basically, stuck my label on someone elses parcel)..... and then when I contacted customer service, the item I ordered was out of stock so all they could do was refund me :pac: They were very nice about it, and it was probably a 1 in a 1,000 thing, but please no mess ups with the PS4 orders, lads!

He thought I was blowing things out of proportion but when he got talking to the staff in the shop he realized his error. Have to go into GS tomorrow and see what my options are regarding the Watchdogs bundle I had ordered.

It has been all over games magazines and games websites as well about cut off dates and possible shortage and kids read these and would of had enough cop to pester their parents to go in and see what the story was, I know when I was that age I would of, it has been mentioned in papers from the Star to the Indo and even Ray D'arcy has done a few pieces on his morning radio show on it. I was referring to the fact that both the PS2 and PS3 suffered from vast shortages on their launch, that is why I pre ordered back in February, the demand for the PS4 has doubled in comparison to the PS3 launch.
