PS4 official European waiting thread - come here and wait with us!

I've got two on the way, a standard console from ShopTo which took payment Sunday evening. (Ordered start of June).
And a Mega Bundle from GameSeek.
Both due on release day but hopefully sooner, GameSeek have sent everything I've ordered a day or two early so fingers crossed.
I just wish the retailers would give us Europeans some decent offers on games like the US, not only do we get over charged on everything, but our cousins from across the pond get the great deal on games too.
All it will take is for one popular retailer to drop their prices and hopefully it will set off a pricing war, I'm holding off buying any games until the last few days in the hope this will happen.
 
Pre-ordered the Killzone bundle on the 1st of of November from Shopto. Didnt think i would get one on launch day. But they have charged my card and sent me an order receipt. So happy.
 
Why is it so hard to find a website that offers a protection plan with the preorder, Asda strangely was the only site I found where they did this but are out of stock.
 
Any NZ gaffer ordered from Mightape? I'm getting paranoid that I won't get my console in time for launch as they haven't charged my credit card yet. I hope I'm wrong.

Don't they normally only charge when they process the order for shipping? Probably just dealing with all the xbox orders first.

It was on their blog that any orders before a certain date were guaranteed for launch day, so you can always check against that.
 
Killzone and knack should arrive this week from play Asia. Chose fedex as my shipping preferences since they initially said it would take one week to ship, but they ended up shipping it today when I ordered them on Sunday.
 
Quick question guys: I have the 800mb firmware on a USB stick ready to go which is the one I need for the fresh HDD. Does this update INCLUDE firmware 1.50 or is that a separate download?

That IS the full 1.50 firmware so yes your good to go with just that.

Unless it gets updated before the 29th.
 
When can we expect that playstation iOS app to arrive in Europe?

29th. Altough if you downloaded the old app you can redownload that as it has been updated.

I can personally vouch for this, the new app is pretty slick.

Edit: apparently the 22nd, boy my memory fails me.
 
Is ACIV out this Friday? Amazon seems to think so, along with FIFA14. My PS4 pickup branch of GAME has run out of preorders so that'd give me time to try other branches (have tons of credit so don't really want to order from amazon etc)

Brilliant! Thanks. I deleted the old one from my phone and re-downloaded it from my purchases on the App Store. It looks great!
 
Soo, any chance of PSN sales on PS4 games this Christmas? I have like €80 on my account now and I would rather like to buy two games a couple of weeks later than one game at release...

Given the quality of our sales on their other platforms, I'm not sure I'd hold your breath.
 
Anyone planning on buying PS4 digital codes from the US amazon store?

€45 for a new release is tempting.

I know redeeming the code from a US sub account and playing on the EU account should work but does anyone know if the codes themselves are region free and therefore redeemable directly from the EU account?

(Shu ignored my tweets)
 
Shit. Amazon told me not to change my delivery address as my order has already entered the dispatch process. There's going to be a five-hour window on the 29th where no one is home. I just know it'll arrive in that window..

Hopefully the courier they use will let me re-schedule delivery for the next day (Saturday) if I miss them on the 29th. God this is tense.
 
guys

im buying a killzone bundle from france and have call of duty from canada.

my question is:

will i need the season pass from the canada store or can i get the one from the us store? If yes i could buy the season pass from amazon.com as a digital code.

but will the killzone season pass from amazon.com work on a europe killzone?

I don't think we're going to know these for sure until EU consoles are in the hands of consumers. For a lot of the PS3/Vita releases the DLC has been region specific (i.e. you need to pickup the DLC from the same region store as the game was bought from) so I would expect it to be the same here.
 
My new 50" Panasonic is coming today so I'm totally ready to hook up a new sexy console up to it. This wait is going to be dreadful now, really wish my new tv and ps4 could've been plugged in for the first time together.
 
I will be getting a PS4 around March, not sure of the games i will be getting but probably one of the premium packs, i will be looking at a bigger hard drive in the meantime though, i think i will go for one of the hybrid drives around the 1TB size.
 
but is canada seen as na together with the us or do they have separate stores?

also will a 2.5 1,5tb fit in the ps4 btw?

Different issues. DLC was region specific on PS3 but playing US games from an EU account was not.
 
Looks like I'm John Lewising this. My friend's plan is to buy the units when the stock arrives a few days before release day (which he says he can do through the system) so then we've got them secured for launch. Hope it works or it's going to be a run around that day.

I phoned my local and the guy said that they have sold out all PS4s across the company until the New Year. Unless you're talking about the games, in which case my mistake.

Do anyone know when we can get killzone from Gamestop Germany? It would be nice to have the games ready when the system arrives.
 
True that. I'll try to hold out for at least €50 PS4 games on a probable psn Christmas sale.
Until then I'll just play the f2p games and flower/resogun.
In America it came with a $10 PSN card so I assume here in the UK it'll be £10 and €10 for you guys. So at least that brings the price of one purchase to the same as retail.
