PS4 already in the wild

why would they need to confirm again?

he very clearly said he would like to cancel his preorder if they could not make launch day

Common courtesy, yeah he made it clear and Im reaching here, but its obvious hes emotional about the situation. Usually companies react to your cancelation or talk it over to make sure its what you want to do.

Iv personally never called anyone to cancel and they just replied, "okay done", its usually a 10min conversation, ie Sky TV, BT.
 
Sorry to thread jack but I needed somewhere to vent a little and I guess I dont yet have privileges to start my own thread. I just got royally screwed over by walmart on my Launch Day PS4. I placed a preorder a few months back well before the reports started coming out that they could no longer guarantee launch day delivery on future preorders. Well yesterday I decided to check my Walmart.com account just to make sure everything was kosher and I was surprised to see delivery date for 11/21/13. So I contacted them to see if it was just a placement date still which it wasn't. They replied back today stating that they were looking into the cause of the delay but that it should arrive on 11/21/13. So I am thinking they are trying to straighten it out so I message back that if it couldn't be delivered on the 15th on launch day which was the whole reason for preorder I would like to cancel, at which point Walmart promptly canceled my preorder(obviously without trying to fixing the problem first) So now I am stuck with no Launch Day system that I have been obsessed with since E3 and with nowhere left to preorder. Only option I have is waiting in lines for the slim chance to get an extra from somewhere besides walmart. If the rumors are true that it may be hard to find a system before christmas I may be SOL until next year............... Will upload pics of the email correspondence as soon as I get a sec...

So you're delivery date says 11/21. They tell you that it'll be delivered 11/21. You reply that if it won't be delivered 11/15, you would like to cancel so they cancel it. Now you're mad?

Did you pay for expedited shipping? For all I know, walmart doesn't offer release date delivery. Ever think that they won't ship the console until the 15th? You really couldn't wait 6 more days (4 business days really which lines up to shipping time).
 
Thats a bit harsh dude, I see what your saying but id be pissed if I pre-ordered in time to get the 29Th November release to find out I would recieve until December 12th or something.

They shouldnt have canceled his order until they confirmed again as he was under the impression they would try and fix it.(altho could have interpreted it that way)

Call them back and try and straighten it out.

Not really. He was too impatient to wait and told them he would like to cancel his pre-order if he wasn't going to get his PS4 on the 15th. He got exactly what he asked for. I'm prepared to give him benefit of the doubt, but from the way he explained it he came across as entitled. Unfortunately shit happens during massive product launches like this, perhaps he underestimated his place in the queue.

Yeah, I sympathize mostly I guess. Judging by the poster above you, it does seem like its a "shipping" thing that extended his wait.
 
Meanwhile here in the EU:

Sigh...
 
Came expecting Ps4 all over the place with so many meltdowns.

Perhaps Ps4 needs an internet connection too? Or is he update till now?
 
You see, they are in the wild but not really in the wild

Yosp said they wouldn't ban you if you got your PS4 early and plugged it in. What he didn't mention was that they'll have ninjas going around silencing everyone who gets it early... But you know they're not banning them.
 
Thin boxes. Looks like Sony spent a lot of time thinking about how they could cut costs in the physical size of the box and distribution costs by making it smaller than your typical cube.

The more you can fit in a container to ship from China, the cheaper the shipping becomes.
 
Where are the some UI videos or something? WTF they are doing with PS4?

Let's hope that they are getting a capture device so we won't have to watch some shaky phone recording.

If that's the case, take your time you lucky bastards who got it.
 
The console is launching in 5 days in NA and you guys are desperate to see a video of the UI? I don't get what would you get out of it. For me it would be more exciting to see the whole thing (UI included) for the first time when I receive my console.

And I still have to wait until nov 29 :(
 
People need to know what the fourth level down Triangle menu on top of "Audio Settings" has!!!

I would like to read impressions though. Somewhere someone out there is playing Killzone Shadowfall..

And yeah, november 29 for me too... :(
 
Am I the only one who wants to experience the startup and the UI of the console for myself instead of from a shoddy youtube video? I mean, discovering it for myself is like half the fun of having a new console.

It's going to be tough, but I'm going to try and dodge any UI footage until have installed the machine and can see it for myself.
 
So i texted the user who had the ps4 pics on Instagram he had his phone on their . Here is his response
Me: Is that a ps4? Target

Him: Best buy my homie works at the distribution center

Me: Sell

Me: Selling early ?

Him: Yea man he just file them as broken or damaged good and the while pallet of them gets marked as bad so he gets them all

Him: Whole*

WTF
