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

Somewhat regret launch period buy. My console was pretty much dead within 1 week, had to haul that giant back into Central London. That got YLOD just after 1 year, luckily Sony replaced it. Then that died just over a year ago YLOD again.

Man that's rough. My launch PS3 is still going strong. Naughty Dog games make it sound like it should have died months ago mind you.

My launch PS3 is actually the best in regards to what i'd trust.

Is quiet at all times, my other fat is loud with certain games, and my slim I can hear my blue ray laser.
 
In Star Wars they had the collection of Lego pieces and running around collecting them all was a pain. Marvel got something similar?

Also, what's the IQ like? I think it was the tearing on StarWars that gave me the headaches as it was forever tearing.

I'll read some reviews.

You mean the studs? You don't need all of the just a specific amount in the newer games. The real draw for me is the open world with super heroes.
 
yeha lets talk about ouer ps3 launchs everyone!

I preordered my PS3 with Motorstorm in the Sony Store Berlin. But instead of going to the overcrowded Launch Event:

i just walked into the store early next day and picked up my heavy ass 599Euro (thats right us friends over 800 USD!!) ps3 and took a 2h trip on public transport home. I then fired the baby up and played motor storm all day and night :D

Too bad this friday i wont have to much time. I will get the ps4 hook it up and force my 2 year old to wait while daddy looks if everything is "ok" with the system. If it is i will have to wait till the evening before getting to finally play.


I bought mine 2 months later when they could hardly give them away in the UK. I think I paid the original RRP for the console with Resistance, Motorstorm, Genji (hah), an HDMI cable and some Blu-Ray thrown in. That launch price really hurt the PS3 at the time, the difference between then and now is staggering.

Probably the only multi console owner who has had more ps3 die than 360. Funny thing ps3 was hardly used since most multiplats ran better on 360.
 
Amazon UK, dispatched my fifa 14 this morning, but still holding the Dualshock 4's, that were in the same order... wtf Amazon?

I think they may be buckling under the load of everything being ordered.

I ordered two Blu Rays on Monday and have Prime, so I should have got them yesterday but I didn't.
 
Pre-ordered through GAME. Paid with Paypal.

Got an email today saying "Great news! Your order has been dispatched and will be delivered soon"

Well, isn't that a pleasant surprise!
 
Sounds like it's a good job I don't have Prime...

I did check the box for first class delivery though but I did that for AC4 and FIFA 14 on PS4 and they arrived at like 6pm last Friday instead of the morning, so even first class is borked.
 
Virgin Megastore, Piccadilly Circus, London. Went few days after launch so all was quiet. Think my bundle was £500 with resistance, motorstorm and virtua tennis 3. That was way too much for 2007. Think it was £1=$2 then :/

I still have a working launch 60GB PS3, the best one. Loved that thing.
 
I stared too long at my order status, Not yet dispatched then I thought I saw them turned into Dispatched then again to Not yet. Am I losing it?

How are you finding the PS4 thus far dude?

Loving every second of it. Some features just make it, its not only about the games (as there is genuine shocking eye candy in the likes of BF4 & Killzone etc)

But the subtle instant multitasking between a game & home screen/another app is superb. You literally cango ffrom netflix to a game as quick as you can push the PS button. That GDDR5 :)

The standby orange light I think looks great :)

The 'whats new' tab on the home screen is great for watching shared videos from your friends and screenshots/ can also see when their live streaming too... awesome feature.

Playstation live tab is gonna be massive with the Ustream and twitch apps... Playstation themselves where live streaming yesterday on camera with co-op .. had thousands of views and some can be interactive (you also can chat on screen and they reply, vocally or typing)

This system has so much growth potential too.

Im going down today with a few mates to pay of some GAME ps4's etc.. so still going to be involved in the launch. Cant wait to sample the atmosphere.
 
Eh?

One is in stock and the other isn't. They not going to wait for the other one to be in stock.

The order was placed in August, you mean that there were so many orders placed for Dualshock 4's prior to August that they didn't have enough stock to cover my order? It's a conspiracy I tell you...
 
Apparently Finland has the, oh so familiar, Finn Tax for consoles. Gamestop called about my preorder, of which I´ve paid 50 EUR in advance, and the clerk said that the amount to be payed on pickup is 399 EUR.

A bunch of bullshit.

What you jabbering on about?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BT9DTCC/

FIFA 14 for PS4 has become instock, so they sending them early.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BF6D63Q/

Dual shock 4 they have not received their stock most likely. So how can they send something that they haven't got at their warehouse yet?

I pre-ordered Destiny and controller. Does that mean they should wait till Destiny comes out to ship my controller?

is it correct that i need to tie my account to facebook to share videos?
 
Just went to game to pay for my console. to be met with we only have the kz bundle left, kind of shitty as i was one of the first to preorder. I was getting kz anyway but it worked out more this way as i wouldve been getting a tenner off it with there tenner off games you buy offer this way ive only saved around £3. All paid for though and took them up on the half price marvel lego offer. One more day.
 
is it correct that i need to tie my account to facebook to share videos?

Yeah. Videos for facebook and images for either twitter or facebook. As you can interact, like and comment on the vids/images straight from PS4 with no other windows...right there which is good.

I was thinking of opening a facebook page just for videos so im not spamming my vid news feed. For the purpose of sharing in friends list on PS4.

I think its neccisary atm because PS4 needs somewhere/someone to 'host' the video.

Likely this will improve with a youtube app or something like dropbox..

Crap I don't even have a facebook...

Did you check where your console was manufactured? Heard reports of loads of faulty ones from China, although most EU guys have consoles from Japan.
 
so have amazon uk got these? my order says 'not yet dispatched' but delivery date 29/11/13 (Packs with Killzone 2 x pads & camera)
 
So is this 23rd of December for the Killzone Bundle a real official date? :(((

Asked CS from amazon.de, waiting for their reply. Hope for them and Sony that this is just a placeholder. Because I don't know how I am going to get it delivered as I don't know when they will ship it and if I am not already at my parents for the holidays or or or... One day before christmas?! I really hope for them that this is not the final date.
 
You mean the studs? You don't need all of the just a specific amount in the newer games. The real draw for me is the open world with super heroes.

Yeah, I felt you needed to be able to scoop them up in a wider area with a spin move or something. Always felt like I spent more time collecting studs than anything else lol.
 
on the amazon board someone wrote:

"Support gesprochen. schlechte Nachrichten! Heute wird keine playsi rausgeschickt egal ob standart, Austria oder premiumbesteller! es wird morgen mit dem versand begonnen, die Dame konnte auch kein versandunternehmen nennen, also ist das lotterie. Definitiv kein versand der Konsole heute!"

so mouch for shipping today :(
 
I don't really care whether it ships today or tomorrow as long as it arrives on Friday. I'd really like it if they took the money today though.
 
..Could you translate? ;)

He's just saying "PS4 won't be shipped today!"

Yeah mines china but iv had my PS4 from Amazon.com, imported mine, got it on tue the 19th Nov. (Express delivery) it works flawlessly. With a 1mill sold and only 1% with issues, you have nothing to worry about.

Have my killzone megabundle still on order for thursday night so will be checking where that 1 is made but shouldn't really matter, Not 1 issue woth mine. (Guy in work getting that ps4 - non-profit)
