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

Van parks outside my house, bloke in hi-vis jacket gets out..... it's one of the builders working down my road

Touche sir.... touche
 
Yeah, my PS4 arrived at my home!

Unfortunately, I'm at work right now and my workplace is some 150 kilometres from home >_> I have to wait about five hours until I can get my hands on this shiny piece of console.
 
I heard they are giving one free game for those who can't take their PS4 today in Germany, true ?

Never heard of that and i cannot believe i to be honest. They'd lose so much money. Maybe for some that preordered and were told they'd get one and did in fact not get one. Or maybe for those who were in Berlin for the launch event where supply ran out way too soon after promising there would be enough for everyone.
 
Dom is clearly superior to all your delivery guys, since he's up in his 90s while you lot are languishing around the 70s.

(Watch him now drive into the Thames before he gets to me)
 
Yeah, I had the same thought. I got the console from Amazon, but the games from Tesco and if I hadn't used self service, I'd have probably been asked that question.


Standing in line outside GAME last night and a spotty little clerk come up to me with a clipboard.
"Hi, have you preordered?"
yes
"have you prepaid?"
yes
"do you know what prepaid means?"
:/
 
Amazon have sent my package by DPD and the status from the DPD tracker has been " Parcel details received, awaiting receipt of your parcel" since 9pm last night.

I'm not holding out hope of it making it here today.

I used Amazon's customer service via chat and phone but they weren't exactly helpful.

Super disappointed.
 
Hey guys, just got my ps4 and its awesome.
But i got a question. I tried to reactivate my PS+ with the money i got on my PSN account. I got 10,01€ on it and i tried to purchase one month for 6,99 but it always told me i have not enough credit to buy it. Do you think its because the network is just overused atm or have they removed to option to buy PS+ with PSN credit?

If it helps I had a similar situation with my games sent from Amazon. My copy of Killzone was perpetually listed as unreceived by Royal Mail and out of nowhere appeared with the morning's mail right on schedule.

In other news, my PS4 came. I came. Now to play.
 
So I started to camp out at my local store at 3:30 a.m., they opened up at 10 a.m.
There were about 20 PS4's for around 150 people, someone hit my nose with his elbow, complete chaos... BUT I GOT ONE!

This is what it looked like 5 minutes after the action:

OMG
 
Arrived quarter of an hour ago.

Set-up took a minute, but I can't download the 1.51 update. I'm getting the message 'The network connection has been terminated (NW-31229-7)'. I'm in the NW of England.

Anyone else having the same issue? I didn't order any disc games so I can't really do much with it right now :(.

I'd recommend installing it through a usb stick if you have one to spare. The download from sony's website is so much faster.

Jeez! Free for all huh? For some reason I'm thinking of South Park with Black Friday here...

Winter is coming...
 
Oh god, the waiting is over. It's here. I'm so hyped.

Felt a bit awkward that the delivery guy wasn't as excited as I was but by the end of the delivery I think the spark of hype went over a bit.

Now what to do? I didn't order any games.

I know I got Resogun and that's awesome but now that it's here I have the feeling I will need more but the other games didn't really excite me. What to do gaf?

:lololol

I didn't order any games either and I've just been mooching about since 10am I think, just got back in and had a chance to sit down.

Been to Sainsburys where they only had BF4 in stock so I thought okay lets try Tesco, only the BF4 pre-order box was on the shelf. So I took it to customer service where I was hoping to get served by the young lad. Instead I get served by a elderly lady who had no clue the game came out today.

Snagged BF4 from Tesco where they didn't have NBA in stock since they only got 2 copies of each game (wtf?)

Just ordered NBA from Amazon for the ridiculous price of £55. >_> Now I wait for Sunny to arrive at 6pm!!!! with my PS4.
 
Killzone + 2xDS4... bundles.

1 bundle preordered/delivered to my workplace this morning from Amazon.fr . for a friend. CHECK
1 bundle preordered/picked this morning at Micromania.CHECK

Added Fifa and Knack for the daughters ;)

Right now downloading and updating crossbuy games from PS3 before the PSN storm.
Good luck guys!

Today was a good day.
 
got ittttt!1111 I think I'm ready to witness the greatness.

BTW launch in Poland looked like this :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgj_E6YjsNE

pretty much,stampede lite, people racing pushing each other, falling down, #madness, lots ofXbox 360 boxes standing in close proximity to holy grail collapsed, some execs were pissed "I wonder who will pay for this"
 
CEX are snapping up PS4's for £430. Every PS4 is worth £80 more than RRP. That's nuts.

But I can't play next-gen on £80 profit. Greatness is going to arrive, and it's coming in 2 hours.

Update has gone through, but now I'm timing out trying to connect to PSN. This is torture.
It would help if it remembered my email address each time, I've put it in about 8 times now.

Thank god I have SM3DW if this is going to be a problem all day.

On a more positive note, controller seems to be the best thing ever.
