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

Lucreto · 15-11-2013 12:52PM

I ordered the solus PS4 last week on Amazon but there was no mention of bundles. Then I find this after the new "before Christmas" deadline.

edit No mention of the after christmas delivery

Please note:
● Customers who place an order for this PlayStation 4 bundle from August 7 onwards will receive their consoles after release date but before Christmas
● Customers who cancel any existing standalone PS4 orders and place a new pre-order will receive their console after release date
● Customers who cancel any existing PS4 bundle orders and place a new pre-order will receive their console after release date

- Customers who ordered the standalone PS4 console from August 7 up to and including November 13 will receive their consoles before Christmas
- Customers who ordered the standalone PS4 console from November 14 will receive their consoles after Christmas
- Customers who cancel existing pre-orders and place a new order will not get their console for release day
- Customers who ordered a standalone PS4 console up to and including August 6 have also been given the option to switch their order to a bundle and will be eligible to receive their bundle for release day

Just rang game stop in Wexford , I'm in the second wave which is fair enough but he said the second would would be in stock from the 2nd of December .

For some reason I don't believe the second batch would be that sound épecially if the first batch was launched on the 29th nov.

I would expect the second batch to be not too far behind the first to be honest.

Production must be pretty much constant so while they have a limited number on the first batch, the second batch should be ready to go fairly soon after. Quite how many are in the second batch is another matter entirely but if they are guaranteeing you on the second wave I would be happy enough.

One thing though, the word FROM 2nd of December could also mean, and day thereafter, I still think you are safe though.

I remember the same crap when the 360 and PS3 were released.

Anything to get attention I guess...

I did see that but they are not mentioned on the bundle. Its a pain I didn't see them a few days ago.

Looks like before Christmas for the bundles.

They must not have sold through on the bundles.

I have it ordered it today and I hope I get a date before launch so I don't have to give Gamestop any money.

I have 3 pre-ordered 1, Gamestop, and 2 Amazon (solus and killzone bundle).

I am so conflicted:(

um7y1h83ge06nx · 15-11-2013 01:25PM

Yeah, if you look earlier in the thread I ordered the gamer's pack from Amazon last night.

I got the email despite me cancelling my solus pre-order weeks ago (when I was told by amazon I was too late to get it for Christmas).

The Solus pack doesn't really represent god value for most people (unless you don't want Killzone or Knack). The gamer's pack seems to be the best overall deal.

Me, I'm happy as I was confining myself to getting it in the new year. I just find all this pre-order ****e annoying so I couldn't be dealing with the like of Gamestop etc. at the moment.

Ahhh yeah I know I'll get it before Xmas , but he seemed quiet confident about the date which was the 2nd of December . I just didn't realise it would have been so soon.

I thought the second batch would be later than the second .

He also said GameStop will be doing their own bundles too which I hoping to get as I don't have a interest in any of the sony bundles.

What if they despatch both your amazon orders at the same time - E900ish.

He wont be feeling very cool if he reads the comment section on the video!! getting some backlash!

Redzer7 · 15-11-2013 02:02PM

If anyone does happen to get two consoles that dispatch on the same day on launch and only wanted one, hook a brother up and I'll give and extra €100 on top of the fee :-) desperate I know!

Siht just got real yo. Went into gamestop over here at 6 and there was about 11/12 in the queue already queuing to get our pre order launch number (number 11) they got 26 extra consoles in my store which some were handed out tonight ( there was about 7-8) in the queue either before or just after me that managed to pay for their console tonight WITHOUT a pre order who were happy.
Have mine all paid off and picked up another year of US PS+ to get the 10 dollars credit to spend on PSN. I'll be picking up a copy of Trine2 with it. 3 Hours till I get back to gamestop. Yippeeee

Wow who'd have thought.

And then certain posters here saying cash won't be taken on launch night and shortages lasting over a month :rolleyes:

jk23 · 15-11-2013 02:27PM

My locay XV manager told me that he will do a midnight launch if other retailers are doing it (Smyths/GS waterford).

Anybody here can take the time to go back over your posts over the last few months here to see all the times you have stated that anybody who did not preorder before the cutoff (5 aug) would not get a console till after xmas. You stated earlier in this very thread that you will have to wait till march . You stated that Amazon would not be able to fullfill orders and some retailers will not even be able to fullfill there aug preorders . the market has plenty of consoles out there and the only people that are looking like they are not gonna get a console now are the ppl that will expect a pickup on day one .Any body who wants a console badly enough can get one before xmas as a bundle from Amazon.

I suppose you can use the defence that " but you cant get a solus "...big swing, most ppl are choosing the bundles as they are better value.

I too know a manager in GS and he told me last week that he was good for consoles as he got an extra allocation.

You fell for the hype buddy. You where brainwashed by the Sony/GS marketing machine :P.

I stand by what I have said, and if I am wrong come launch I will hold my hat up first and admit it, but my views will not change till then, plus I have usually always said to people to go the Amazon route as it would be the best bet. Some things have changed, but for brick and mortar stores I am still saying March for those who have not pre ordered in one yet.

Fell for the hype, I had mine ordered before the hype even began
