Just a little update lads for walk ins

The ps4 Won't be in Argos Until the 6th of december followed by the xbox one which will be in the stores on the 9th december

Thats their expected delievery dates. hopefully its sorted and put back too the 29th but I think their was a mix up with sony and ms regarding how many units, so who knows hopefuly they arrive on the days of release

Was just offered bundles from Amazon, only ordered about a week ago. Now I'm saving £20 and getting the camera and everything I was ordering anyway. Chuffed.

As you pre-ordered the Sony PlayStation 4 console with Amazon.co.uk, we're writing to let you know that three limited edition bundle offers are now available for purchase.

Details of these bundles can be seen by visiting the following page:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/PS4BundleOptions

If you'd like to take advantage of one of these bundle offers, please add the bundle of your choice to your basket and place a new order. Please note that stock of these bundles is extremely limited.

Oh, this is why they were mentioning that if you cancel an order and then make a new one.

Seems to be the case. I upgraded my order too but didn't cancel the other one yet.
Will wait a while and see what happens.

Messi19 · 14-11-2013 09:06PM

I read it slowly this time and found what i needed:

Please note:
● Customers who cancel their pre-orders on the standalone PS4 console and place a new pre-order from the bundles below will not get their bundle for release day
● Customers who have already switched to a bundle and who cancel their pre-order and place a new pre-order from the bundles below will not get their bundle for release day
● Orders placed for the console bundles below from November 14 will receive their bundles after release day but before Christmas

Just do what i did and place a bundle order and dont cancel your standalone order. You can always cancel the one that doesn't dispatch first!

Yeah me too, I don't think we'll lose the guarantee. Have to go to Harvey Normans tomorrow to pay off my other pre-order and if they still say I'm getting it launch day then I'll cancel the Amazon one

I wouldnt imgine ID would be needed if you have your receipt.

ID will be required. When I asked in my local gs a few weeks ago I was told people with pre orders would be invited down on launch day. Also ID will be required and only the person with the pre order will be allowed into the store, nobody else.

Messi19 · 14-11-2013 09:22PM

Ordered the gamer pack and kept the original pre order too. Cheers for the advice lads

String · 14-11-2013 09:43PM

I received that Amazon bundle email as well and I cancelled my PS4 order with them a month ago. I wouldn't cancel your current order with them as I doubt its for release day. There's going to be alot of angry people on amazon ps4 forums!

BubbleBuddy · 14-11-2013 10:25PM

I didn't get the bundle email from Amazon, still have no estimated delivery date and still waiting for a response from CS as to my missing pre-order. What's worse is I've to rely on Harvey Norman on the 29th

theblaqueguy · 14-11-2013 10:46PM

Hopefully you don't do this to your ps4 when you get it

Gers_punto · 14-11-2013 10:57PM

Ok here is what I got out of harvey norman today...

they dont know if they are doing a midnight launch just yet as it is down to the individual store managers... limerick as of yet are undecided.

the news on the second batch. They are going to have NO on shelf availability for non pre orders and the second wave are going to cater for the people that have there names down as a back up for a launch day model.. which they are only going to hold for 48 hours..

Heres the good news.... if you have been told you are getting a launch day model , unless the warehouses burn down, you are getting a launch day model.

I emailed Amazon. They said
"Customers who place an order for this PlayStation 4 bundle from August 7 onwards will receive their consoles after release date but before Christmas"

So I cancelled the stand alone. Not too bothered as long as I get it by Christmas.

This was for the gamers pack by the way.

Varik · 14-11-2013 11:12PM

A lot of people who ordered in early October for bundles have day 1 from Amazon.

I've got the Killzone mega bundle from Amazon but no date yet, price updated today; so €525 from Amazon or I get just the Console and Killzone from Gamestop for €465.

So for €60 more I get the second controller and camera.

I'd get it just to deprive Gamestop of my money.

Got a call from Smyths today offering a bundle with Knack for €440. Can't say I really want Knack tbh.

I asked them if I would get the console before Christmas if I didn't go for the bundle but they couldn't say for definite.

That's actually a good deal if you wanted all them games, the same in gamestop with extra controller and 6 games would easily be over €800

Had that bundle been announced back in july/august i'd have probably gotten it. Even though it would take me forever to get through all those games.

The knack bundle is new so I'd say you chances are better with it.

Lucreto · 15-11-2013 12:00AM

Is there a cut off date to get the Killzone bundle?

um7y1h83ge06nx · 15-11-2013 12:10AM

I preordered the standalone from Amazon about a month ago. When I found out I missed the earlier bundle selection by ringing support I canceled the order on the same day.

This evening I got that email despite canceling the previous ordered. So I ordered the gamer pack this evening. Score if I get it before Christmas which looks likely! I ordered Assassins Creed from Video Games Plus this evening as well.

Depending on who you ordered with, they might ring you asking if you want to upgrade. Otherwise you can ring in and try to get in before they ring others.

40 for knack isnt bad though, do you know anyone else getting a ps4 that might take it iff your hands?

mugs11 · 15-11-2013 12:39AM

Not sure, will ask around. Think it's a bit too risky skipping the bundle so?

Honestly I don't know, From what i can tell, Smyths (and probably others) seem to have little control over bundles, so if they are promised 500 consoles total, sony seem to determine the breakdown of those. I suspect you are probably safe enough for before christmas if they are offering you one now but i wouldn't want to risk it personally.
