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

It's oh so-close now - hopefully Tesco will *finally* get my copy of AC IV to me tomorrow, in time for my PS4 arriving from Amazon via DPD!
Still waiting on AC IV and NFS from Tesco too! Did you order the Skull edition originally? If it got changed to the standard edition you can ring them and get £10 off the standard edition - cheekily the email they sent me about the cancellation never specified that, but plenty on HUKD rang and were offered the deal, so I did and was offered it straight away.
 
I am super happy, I got a delivery date today: Dec 19 might not be launch but still pretty good.

Yeah hoping my copy comes tomorrow too.

If not I at least have Knack and NFS which should arrive from Amazon tomorrow.
 
I can't download the update >:(
I get's to '30secs left' and then tells me it timed out. Hope it's coz everyone is trying to update...and not coz i have a problem. ;_;
 
Got mine last night in Australia. All good although in parts of killzone the fan ramps up quite a bit, not sure if I should be worried.

Very few reports of BLOD on an Australian gaming forum I visit, in fact I think I've only seen one poster with a problem.
 
Pretty big queue in my local tesco chatted to the dude on checkout he said some lunatics got there at 1 o clock! Also queue is bigger than their allotment. He added that the xbox launch was quiet in comparison.

PS4, Baileys and Quality Street? That's a recipe for a good night.
 
Fuck me, my ISP (Virgin Media) is having some network issues in my area this week.

Internet randomly disconnects, it's back now, but what shitty timing with PS4 coming tomorrow :(

Mine has shit the bed as well (EE, not Virgin though). It's fine for about 10 minutes after hard reset and then it falls to pieces (from 15mbps to sub-1mbps). Anyone help?
 
Picked one up in Australia today - No stock for those who didn't preorder and the store was only allocated 5 units.... Lots o people in for a disappointing 'sold out' I'm guessing when they go to pick up their preorders today.

Updating now, control feels lovely both sticks and triggers.

Grabbed Killzone for some sp fun and looking most forward to remote play n Resogun
.
 
Fuck this launch is reminding me how fucked up my sleeping patterns are. Went to bed after the launch, hoping to sleep at least till 6am

bam, 2 hours later i back awake and full of life (well as much as I can be with this flu)

Guess Ill be waiting streams all night. Ive got pre 12 delivery from dpd so at least thats something.
 
Aussie PS4s seem to be made in Japan.

Installation was a cinch, update was a cinch, downloading from psn was blazing fast, the UI is crazy fast and way beyond what I thought, Remote Play works throughout my house and garden.

The only negative is that Contrast sucks. It sucks so damn much. It feels ancient and plays like a student game.

Nah. Exact same thing happened on NA launch night. Keep trying for a while, and if you can't connect, give it another shot tomorrow.

It's charming, it's got some neat ideas, some fun puzzles and it's not long at all so it doesn't overstay its welcome. It might not be for you, but I found it a pleasant break from shooting stuff.
 
Home from the launch event in London.

I'm so unbelievably exhausted I can't even put it into words. Truly the most unorganised event in the history of launch events.

Pics of all the free shit that was given out and my purchases tomorrow.

Are you sure?
I frequent an Aussie tech forum and I haven't seen anyone comment that their console is made in Japan.
 
So I picked up my NZ PS4 this afternoon before work, and spent most of this afternoon doing the updates, downloading apps, upgrading HDD etc. and a few things I noted:

- The console I received was "Made in China", so either only the UK/EU were receiving the Made in Japan consoles or it's entirely at random. Had no HDMI issues or any other issues at all, so I'm sighing in relief.
- The OS is so damn quick! I was blown away at how quickly everything moves, after owning a PS3 since launch. The only thing I've had to get used to is using R2 to replace the Start button when completing messages :)

Also, you can't get the free 14-day PS+ trial if you've ever had a free trial for PS+ before. I must have had it for my PS3 years ago, because it won't let me access the free trial on my PS4.
 
Picked up from Dick Smith instead of going to a breakfast meeting :) Sitting on my desk all day, fortunately the day is going relatively fast. Can't wait to get home!

Second in the queue at GAME.

Didn't realise the Killzone bundle came with a Limited Edition steel book. Looks sexy.

Played some Resogun, Battlefield and Knack. Exhausted now but relieved I've secured a console and I'll dive into things after a decent nights sleep. From what I've played - amazing system.

Can't believe how cool the audio cues from the controller speaker are in Resogun. Feels futuristic and uber cool!
