[Sword Of Doom]

This week is going to go by sooooo slowly. And every minute waiting for the UPS man on Friday is going to feel like an eternity.

On a somewhat related note, has anyone claimed the Xbox One OT yet?

I'm hoping to be very busy. Usually time flies when I'm not thinking about it and I just wanna forget until Thursday night when I realize "oh shit it's Friday tomorrow" and I stay up all night cause I'm so anxious.

Has there been any mention of how long the micro usb cable included with the system is? Was thinking about ordering a nice 10 footer if it only comes with a 3 foot cable, but if it comes with a 5 foot cable I could probably live with that.

You can bet on it being short. I usually use a USB extension and it works great

Nice! I've been changing my avatar at midnight EST every night lol. I thought about writing a bot that changes it every hour but...I feel like the mods that be probably wouldn't appreciate it.

 

[Jedi2016]

You know it's getting close when people no longer say "in a couple of weeks", "next week", or even "next Friday". Now it's just.... Friday.

Oh, lookie... I just happen to have Friday off of work. What an amazing coincidence.

+ an eternity waiting for delivery truck

UPS is weird for me depending on how they do the route. Sometimes I'll get the packages at 10 am, others closer to 6, if the delivery guy I know well does it then I'll usually get it delivered to work at 3ish.

I'd probably prefer the 6pm time so I don't have to sit at work knowing it's waiting for me at home.

Finally

But NFS has no shipping time and just says "DELIVERY ESTIMATE We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date."

When I put NFS and try to check out, it tells me "this game is currently not in stock" as if it were on backorder, someone dun goofed.

 

[Grinchy]

Jesus christ when are the goddamn game reviews coming in? I WANNA DECIDE

You're going to base a purchasing decision around game reviews? Yuck.

 

[Ogre123]

Anybody else wondering how the day 1 update is going to go. I guess being on the east coast I will be one of the first to get it. I'm worried about the servers getting overwhelmed and not being able to get it online.

I put a suggestion at the http://share.blog.us.playstation.com/ to offer the day 1 update early so we can download it before launch day and update via USB.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Alphabetical order, Bro you might have a problem.
haha

Why wouldn't you store them in alphabetical order?

I had a short chat with CS yesterday and they said it was a normal thing. I just asked whether or not it would be here on the 15th or sooner and the rep explained it like it would but it's just showing that for now.

You can count down how many days are left on until launch with just one hand. Think about THAT for a second. FIVE DAYS!

 

[DoomGyver]

I just finished my Last of Us suvivor+ playthrough. Now that's a way to close a generation.

Come on Friday. come on, come on, come on come on come on.

These are only for games that'll be appearing on the PS4. They also had some that were for the PS3 or Vita.

 

[kaching]

Stopped by a local Best Buy today and saw that they had stacks of those metal crowd control fences by the entrance. I almost did a itshappening.gif right there in the parking lot.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I kinda regret cancelling my PS4 preorder last week.
But then again I wouldn't have been able to play it until June so I guess it isn't that bad.
Regardless i'll get it closer to that time frame with Killzone and Infamous for sure.

The PS4 PS+ stuff will be able to be purchased on the website right?
Will be nice to fall in on a decent amount of stuff when I get it.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Guys I just got a new job and already have $150 in credit at gamestop.
I cancelled my preorder way back because of my job.
about how long am I screwed until?

My local Gamestop said that they're getting a few extra for walk-ins. But it's first come first serve. So you should just call you local store and see if they're getting extras. If they are then you're probably going to have to get there pretty early.

I'm sure you could walk in or wait all day Thursday for a console. All signs seem to indicate that there will be a lot of extra Ps4's to go around.

 

[purpletentacle]

I preordered mine from Future Shop on the day it was available for preorder.

I have no idea if they plan to ship it early so I get it on the 15th or not, I suspect I'll be waiting 'till Monday for mine. Which kinda sucks in retrospect, 'cause the hype is too much.

 

[Thorgi]

I pre-ordered a PS4 on Amazon and it seems to be on track to deliver on launch day, but I'm starting to worry that I should have also pre-ordered a disc game. Now, I plan to do most of my purchases online -my Internet is fast enough and isn't limited by any data caps- but what will launch day PSN be like? Will I even be able to download Resogun when all those PS4s are trying to do the same at the exact same time?

I might hop over to a midnight launch, see if I can just purchase one of the launch games there. Just as insurance in case launch day arrives and I'm left with nothing to play.

I'm pretty sure you can go buy PS4 games right now. At least at some stores.

edit: holy crap it's really happening.

 

[RunningRiot]

Just got home and set up my new Panny S60 50" Plasma, my body is ready

 

[malfcn]

Holy shit, 4 days and some change. I need to decide if I want to keep, sell or cancel my pre-order. Time is flying, felt like another week or two for me.

Thanks for this, got me hyped for Road Not Taken and Starbound. Two games I didn't really consider before. And Hohokum of course haha.

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

Still can't decide which games to buy. Need some more reviews already!

 

[TriGen]

Just noticed this as I've been out of town and away from the internet for a bit. So, I just wanted to jump in here and say nice OP Ami.

Only 5 more days. Unreal.

 

[sti4thewin]

Quick question about cross buy for nba.

How do I redeem my ps4 version of nba 2k14 if I already have 2k14 for ps3? I heard something about a code you redeem in the box but I never got it..

 

[madmackem]

29th seems so far away. I guess i have the xboxone to half the wait but still, soooooo long away.

 

[Yoday]

So the only retail game I bought was BF4; I am not looking forward to downloading KZ, Knack and AC4 on Friday

I didn't buy a single retail game, and I have no intentions of doing so all generation. On launch day I have to download the following.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Battlefield 4
Blacklight Retribution
Contrast
DC Universe Online
Flower
Killzone: Shadow Fall
Knack
Need for Speed: Rivals
Resogun
Warframe

My PS4 is going to start downloading as soon as I get it plugged in, and it won't stop for quite some time.

Luckily I thought ahead and put COD and FIFA 14 on my GameFly Queue, so I will at least have those to play if the download speeds are shit. I already have COD in hand, and I should have FIFA 14 by Thursday.

EXCITED!!!

 

[Wolves Evolve]

Wait, is Flower a launch game? My list says its in December?

 

[JP]

Wait, is Flower a launch game? My list says its in December?

It's been listed as a launch game in the UK, not sure whether that's the same for the US though.

 

[gamerforever]

So, what demos do we get to download at launch?

Would be nice to try out some 'next gen' titles I am unsure about like AC4 and Need for Speed.

 

[Yoday]

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/10/30/ps4-the-ultimate-faq-north-america/#sect2

Right there at the top of the list. That list has been kept up to date pretty well.

Damn, that's like half your hard drive with just launch games. Sadly it would probably take weeks for me to download that much.

Thats likely the exact same list I will likely be getting, cant friggin wait!!... Only thing I noticed wasnt there, Escape Plan? dafuq

Guys, a theoretical question. If someone in the US have pre-ordered two PS4's for example, so has a spare one. Could a person like this send it in a package to someone in Europe? As some "fragile piece of furniture" or something like that. (To avoid problem with customs).

Would this be possible?

Spoiler

Yes, a desperate European here.

They may X-Ray it... and obviously see it's tech and not furniture. Then a dude might bust the PS4 open and look for drugs wrecking the damn thing lol.

$400 is only £249.98

- We pay £350 = $560 (Not to mention game prices) the US get this CHEAP

So @ £250 pounds + 20% Custom, its still cheaper anyway?

You know it's getting close when people no longer say "in a couple of weeks", "next week", or even "next Friday". Now it's just.... Friday.

Oh, lookie... I just happen to have Friday off of work. What an amazing coincidence.

I shipped mine to my work
Also I have the next two weeks off :O

My future is in a dark room full of snacks and video games.

 

[big_z]

is it possible to trade a ps3 copy of bf4/ac4 for a physical ps4 copy or does sony only allow the digital upgrade?

i don't really want the games eating up hard drive space and im a bit worried digital versions might suffer from performance issues like GTAV did.
