Get the money ready and give them a call in the morning. You don't want to lose your day one PS4 at this stage. They have been warning people to have the money ready to make things easier.

The talk about not getting the solus from amazon until after Christmas is just for people who ordered after the 14th of November right ?

Cantona's Collars · 24-11-2013 05:32PM

Meanwhile at Xtravision's HQ.

If you ordered before or on the 13th of November you will get one before Christmas.

They should be named and shamed

gamejunkie · 24-11-2013 11:31PM

there was a few launch day consoles on ebay for over £1000 a few days ago...its shocking people pre ordering just to turn a big profit. but if you actually paid that much for a console or pre order receipt instead of waiting a week or two then that's just as crazy and sort of deserve to get robbed tbh

Exactly.

To use an old saying: a fool and his money are easily parted.

Never truer than times like this.

Need to get onto Argos and Tesco to see how many units they'll have Friday.
If they both open the same time I'd need to make a decision about where to try.

Be handier if Tesco started pre-9 to give two chances.
Hoping to get one like that.

danthefan · 24-11-2013 11:43PM

Anyone know if GameStop in the Pavilions is doing a midnight opening? I normally wouldn't be arsed but I might just be tempted this time.

siblers · 25-11-2013 12:04AM

Did you guys get an email from Gamestop stating that they received payment for their console? I got an email on Saturday saying i'm guaranteed a console but i've not gotten any email regarding payment.

Just an update from Xtra-Vision if anybody was curious. I already posted this on their facebook page:

"Just talking to a guy in Xtra-Vision today and there's an added wrinkle. He told me that they weren't sure if they were enforcing an extra game. But he did say they weren't making people buy extra games if they had already pre-ordered one. That's straight up bull****. His particular branch had no issues because nearly everybody had pre-ordered a game anyway, the few that didn't were planning on getting games anyway. But the problem with Sony is the bundles. Xtra-Vision have X amount of PS4s on order for each store, but they don't know what SKUs Sony are sending them. We all have this nice image of pre-ordering our consoles and getting our games seperately but the reality is the majority of the units Sony will be sending are probably going to be hardware bundles. So for example the Knack PS4 bundle for 440 euro I think. There's a Killzone one as well. As far as I know, Xtra-Vision were able to specifically pre order the Mega Bundles, but other than that they have no idea what's coming in the door. It could realistically happen that you go in on Friday only to be told that they only have Knack bundles left AND you have to purchase an additional game. Because Knack or Killzone is packaged in with the PS4 we won't have a choice. There could be other hard bundles but none that I know of. This is why Xtra-Vision have been shifty on bundle deals because they won't know themselves until Friday morning. They deservedly are taking **** for making customers buy games with their Xbox Ones. But this mystery surrounding bundles is completely on Sony and you shouldn't be ripping the head off some assistant because they only have bundles with games you don't want. You either have to take it or complain to Sony themselves because they're the ones trying to maximise software sales by throwing them together and giving the retailer and customer not only no choice, but not even a heads up."

Cheers!
