Never thought I'd see those streams cross.


Buk lau!
 
Im away at work for 3 days, then im gonna go stay in my home town for 3 days then im back away at work for 5.

Im gonna try go "no videogames" for that entire time.

Should help.
 
Don't worry you won't be judged in here fellow GAFfer. I never judge anyone, it's your hobby and to be honest Gaming is a timeless thing. You can have fun with a game released today or 20 years ago and still have great fun.

Great to know you have yours already pre-ordered and paid. Now we play the waiting gun together.

Thank you sir, for your kind words.. the waiting begins :)

My wife just said
" shut up about the playstation 4, I know your excited but I don't need to hear it every 5 minutes "

She's in for a longer 11 days than me!
Lol that sounds just like mine, she is a Playstation widow already and it hasn't even graced us yet hahaha.
 
How in the world is it that much? The console itself is only $400. Even at 25% VAT(Not sure if any other European Country has higher than that) that's only $100, plus up to $50 for fees.

Console
Games
15% customs
shipping

= total?

Total x 25% VAT=

Never again
 
Just found this before.., sorry if its been posted before.

Looks like an unboxing of the Europe PS4 for anyone interested, surprised to see it looks pretty much the same as the USA box, it feels that the US usually gets thinner boxes than Europe.

The more interesting thing I found however, is the US got 2 weeks of PS Plus, $10 PSN and a trial for music/video unlimited (I think), however in the Europe unboxing, there was no mention of this and I couldn't see the voucher card leaflet that was seen in the US box, guess this means Europe wont be getting the $10 PSN/Free trial of Video/Music unlimited?

I know we're getting 14 days PS Plus as it says on the box, but I couldn't even see anything relating to that. I can only presume it gives 14 days PS Plus to a new account or something?

My co-worker is in the same situation. XD
I think she'll try to kill me if I continue to talk about it.

We do get that? Well thats somethimg at least i guess..
 
My local store in Finland is getting five PS4s on launch day. So yeah.

It think there are 300+ pre-orders made at my local GAME (Bergen, Norway)
I didn't pre-order until late August, so I'm probably screwed.. Gotta go talk to them next week to see if there's any point in showing up at the midnight launch at all.
 
Had to pay for my KZ bundle in full to guarantee it on launch day which was a bit upsetting but hey, as long as it gets here.

I'm not terribly concerned over hardware failures but I am aware that it's riskier to purchase a console day one than to wait for it to be refined. With that said however, all Sony consoles I've bought early on never gave me any problems so I'm more inclined to believe the PS4 won't also, unless I'm unlucky.
 
You guys all know it's going to be UK Mail delivering for Amazon UK. We're all going to come home from work and see the aftermath of them throwing the PS4 through the door window.

You guys all have the horror stories lol. UKMail are not too bad around here. Great to live in London :D

My order of preference for Amazon deliveries, DPD, Royal Mail, Parcelforce, CitySprint, Yodel, Amazon Logistics, City Link....Everyone else. Yes Yodel, they are pretty great where I live.

I just don't want it to be Hermes. Last time I had an expensive parcel from Amazon they used Hermes. FUCK HERMES.
 
Okay, I might just try and trade my Game gift card for cash to someone who has their ps4 on pre order, since I will be waiting till after Christmas for mine (I was stupid and didn't bother to preorder soon enough)

I have £190ish on a gift card and could trade with someone if they haven't already payed theirs off. PM me if anyone is interested.

Im quoting this again in the faint hope someone is interested lol
 
Going to watch Breaking Bad again right from the start. That should help the nights after work fly past.

Good idea?

Very good idea. I'm about due for another rewatch.

I've been watching The Shield to help the nights fly by. If Shopto don't deliver my PS4 by the 29th, I'm going all Vic Mackey on their arses.

Every time we've had something come via UK Mail they haevn't even bothered knocking. Just putting the "sorry, we tried to deliver this to you and you weren't in" slips through the door and running off before you can chase them down.

DPD have always been fantastic for me though, I really do hope Amazon use them for the PS4.
 
Time was flying for me until the US launch happened a few days before my current holiday. Now time is dragging and my hype is reaching unrealistic levels. On the plus side, the broken bf4 servers are helping me calm down.
 
Just asked for AC IV as a birthday gift (my birthday is 3 days after the UK launch) so now on or around launch I have:

PS4
Camera & extra DS4 (got these fairly cheap from Gamestop UK)
NBA 2K14
Resogun (free)
Contrast (free)
Escape Plan (free)
NFS Rivals
AC IV Black Flag Skull Edition (was the same price as the normal edition for some reason, Tesco if anyone was wondering where from)

May possibly get FIFA too, but I haven't decided yet. Can't wait for the 29th!
 
The PS4 went down from 990$ to 795$ in my country in less than 24 hours... hope it goes down fast or I will have to wait till Dec,13 which is the official FAR away release date :(
 
Dunno about you guys, but I'm hoping Amazon UK break the release date by a good few days out of pity

Not for me. Friday is the only day me or anyone else is going to be in during the day.

Thursday despatch for a Friday delivery I'm hoping for. And for the delivery to be early in the morning, obvs..
