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

Getting a PS4 next year between Feb-April time.

I get £1000 from my National Scholarship Programme at University (not tied to my student loans) and it's my birthday in April so I'm gonna treat myself.

Anyone know when these 'PS3 to PS4 Upgrade' offers on certain games expire? I bought FIFA 14 for PS3 at GAME and I'm wondering when the offer to upgrade to the PS4 for cheap expires

GAME's trade in offers end Christmas Eve. I'm pretty sure the next gen digital upgrade ends March 31st.
 
What I'm getting:

PS4 Standard Pack
Killzone Shadowfall
Knack
COD: Ghosts
Vertical Stand

Should keep me busy for a while!

So it'd be March 31st then for me to upgrade my FIFA PS3 copy to PS4 then?

If so, that's perfect timing. In fact, I might do it before the years end as I don't mind missing out on FIFA for a while (it'll help me get some work done too haha)
 
So I only pre-ordered last week from GAME - the official word says that I shouldn't expect my console on launch but its guaranteed before Xmas.

Anyone want to make an educated guess as to when it will come - am I looking at like 23rd December or something :(

If you're in the UK it appears that Asda are still guaranteeing launch day delivery with their preorders - I've just last-minute preordered from there and am hoping that's the case, anyway!

Sony are not offering the digital PS3 to PS4 upgrade if i'm not mistaken so you'll have to do the physical trade at GAME before Xmas Eve.
 
2 weeks to go and Sony Shermany or amazon.de still can't tell me when they'll be able to deliver the Killzone Bundle, I guess I'll just stick with my day 1 console plus Driveclub.

I'm not worried about defective consoles, 2 years warranty will take care of that and I'm sure it's not widespread.

Already pre-ordered BF4 on US PSN and Killzone from play-asia. Will have to look around for a new screen, my old one is 1600x1050 and the blacks are grey.
 
I preordered the Console, KZ SF, Knack and Driveclub. as Driveclub is delayed I'm thinking about AC4 or BF4. but I'm not sure yet, maybe I buy a second controller instead. I hope Santa will refill my wallet so I can buy more Gamez :)

I'm sooooo hyped,the waiting makes me ill. But the hardest part is waiting for that DHL Truck on launch day.
I'm not happy to read about issues with some PS4s, I really hope my Console will be fine. I've taken 5 days off work ( I'm working weekends as well) just for my new Ps4...
 
Haven't preordered and right now I'm not sure I'll ever pick one of these up.

If I do I can tell it's going to be a tough day for me.
 
Preordered the Killzone bundle for launch from Tesco today. With staff discount and some Clubcard vouchers it came to £304, which I'm pretty pleased with.
 
With all the bundles and shit going on - what are you guys getting?
Just the console by itself, managed to get my pre-orderd in awhile ago for £335

Are you afraid of getting a faulty PS4?
Not really. *Touch wood*

What games are you getting?
Have Killzone pre-ordered. Tempted to get Knack as well. The other games I'm interested in (AC4 & BF4), I already have on PC.
 
I'm really flip flopping at the moment on whether to cancel my order. The thing that bothering me is that Titanfall is the by far the most fun looking game I've seen for next gen and I'd really prefer to only buy one of the consoles, at least for the first few years. Which is annoying because aside from that ps4 more appealing in pretty much every category, it's just right now there isn't that one exclusive that I couldn't live without. Infamous looks great but I'm not 100% sold, liked the first 2 games but they were both flawed. I loved uncharted this gen but by the end of 3 I felt like I didn't need to play another one so I was hoping they do another new IP, will be interested to see if they're taking it in a new direction.

I suppose I could build a pc to play titanfall but that would be expense and I suck using mouse and keyboard so I'm not too eager to go that route. It's weird, I've been on the ps4 hype train all year but now I've seen al the UI stuff and launch title reviews the mystique has been lifted and my has excitement receded. I think the best thing is probably to wait until march when I can make a more informed decision, but the graphics whore in me is very tempted by killzone, especially since I could see myself playing the multiplayer a lot. Ugh, I can't decide.
 
With all the bundles and shit going on - what are you guys getting?

PS4+Killzone bundle from shopto for £399

Are you afraid of getting a faulty PS4?

Hopefully I'm not in the minority

What games are you getting?

Killzone with the PS4, probably pick up AC4 and BF4 a week later, maybe a few indie games
 
I'm getting

-PS4
-2nd Dualshock 4
-Camera
-Charging station
-Headset adapter

-Knack
-Resogun and Contrast as PS Plus member
-1 more game in a local store, not sure which to get yet
-Driveclub is already preordered

Killzone 4 and PS4 Bundle from Shopto.

Are you afraid of getting a faulty PS4?

I'm hoping they'll have patched/fixed the faulted machines by the European launch.

What games are you getting?

I've already got BF4, Knack and AC4.
 
Does anyone have any good guesses of potentially when Destiny release date could be. Because that's when I'm gonna buy a PS4. Too much of a backlog on PS3 right now, the only reason I'll get one when Destiny comes out because that is a online focused game and I would like to be there day one for it when the community is new. With a game like inFamous Second Son, I don't care if I am LTTP. Hopefully by then I stack up plenty of PSN+ PS4 games too, seriously waiting seems like the best move for me.
 
Killzone, BF4 and the PS+ stuff for me. And of course i'm not afraid of my console breaking. That's just Twitter making a mountain out of a molehill.

I don't think we'll see it til September next year..
 
-With all the bundles and shit going on - what are you guys getting?
Standard console. Managed to pre-order one for €389 right after E3, also have another one pre-ordered for €359 at the end of August (not guaranteed for launch day). Hopefully I'll get the cheaper one on launch. Bought a PS Camera separately.

-Are you afraid of getting a faulty PS4?
Nope. I've got launch consoles that still work to this day (fat PS2, fat X360, fat PS3).

-What games are you getting?
Battlefield 4, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Knack, Need for Speed: Rivals, might get Assassin's Creed 4. Was planning on buying Watch Dogs and Driveclub as well but they got pushed back.

I still have quite a few games in my backlog, that coupled with the PS4 streams makes the wait bearable for me. =)

I'm sort of glad the US gets to test a lot of things out, like the HDD speed stuff and whatnot. I had to raise an eyebrow at the stories about defective units, but so far it doesn't seem to be a massive problem.

On the other hand, I sadly couldn't get my hands on one of those bundles and there doesn't seem to be ANY retailer in the Netherlands doing any sort of deals. In fact they're charging 5-10 Euros more per game more than the official price. I would almost say it deserves some looking into by the government, because it kind of reeks when I see all these other countries making these deals and so on.

But at any rate...I can wait those 2 weeks. Better than being considered a tier whatever country by Microsoft and having to wait months for launch if you're an Xbone buyer.

Bookmark budgetgaming.nl, it's a great website for us gaming Dutchies looking to save a few bucks. It's also how I found out about the cheaper PS4 that I got pre-ordered.
 
Pre-ordered the console on its own from HMV back in June - have instore credit and was praying to the bankrupt gods they were going to survive their administration issues as I have been hoarding credit with them for ages to get a new console.

Getting Killzone Shadow Fall from Amazon for about £20 due to site credit.
Only other games I'll be getting is anything on PS+, am I right in thinking EU is also getting the F2P [Blacklight, War Thunder and Warframe] at launch?
 
I'm not worried about faulty systems, the chances of one appears to be lower than previous console release.
The reason why we hear about these faulty ones so dramatically, is because since the last generation launch, social services like Twitch have grown exponentially, which makes one person's misfortune equal 5000-10000 viewers concern.

I'm getting the standard console, Killzone SF, AC4 and the camera.
Also getting an SSHD probably around 2TB, just in case.
 
I haven't put an order in yet, I'll probably get one a few days after launch. Are Amazon likely to get more bundles in soon or should I just get the console + Killzone (+ FIFA I guess, have it on 360 but it's something I'll definitely play) separately?

And yeah, I'm kinda worried about the consoles breaking, :-(
 
I pre-ordered on amazon 2 days ago, it should be coming in, early-mid December.
I went to ask at gamestop if they had any stock, they said not till February, which means they don't even have stock for the midnight opening except the pre-orders.
 
Pre-ordered mine back at the reveal in Feb.
Getting the PS4 on it's own but I'll go and pick up BF4.

Hurry up two weeks!!
 
With all the bundles and shit going on - what are you guys getting?

Killzone 4 Mega Bundle from Shopto.

Are you afraid of getting a faulty PS4?

Nah, still got my ps3 and 360 to keep me going.

What games are you getting?

Killzone in the pack, BF4 plus all the PS+ goodies and F2P :D
 
I still have a month to wait, won't be back home in the UK for a few months so I will have to pick one up over here in Singapore, where it comes out on Dec 19th, so consider yourselves lucky!
 
This seems appropriate.

I've taken the 29th off work, feel like such a nerd. xD
But I am now worried that my so and I might be moving to a new flat for the 1st. So that might throw a major spanner in my works.
 
I'll get mine on the 29th, but then I'm off to America for a couple of weeks nearly immediately after. Stupid work.
 
I went into Game last night and they are only stocking consoles for pre-orders. I was hoping I would have been able to pick one up launch day :/
 
With all the bundles and shit going on - what are you guys getting?

Killzone Shadow Fall Bundle

Are you afraid of getting a faulty PS4?

Yes. I've got a lucky hand for faulty electronics :(

What games are you getting?

Killzone, Knack and Resogun
 
I'm waiting...

...until Tuesday because I saw that it'd be cheaper to import it from Amazon.com than get it in 2 weeks from a UK retailer.

Good luck to the rest of you :P

Smart man

Lets hope they don't arrive DOA lol

Ended up getting the PS4 with NBA 2K 14, Killzone and a DS4 with that B2G1 deal. After a bit of confusion one of the reps ended up giving me a controller instead of a free game. All that's left now is to get a charging dock and I'm set
 
I'm getting the mega bundle (PS4+KZ+DS4+camera) in Spain... but it doesn't release till 13th december...so I'll have to wait 28 more days...
 
I'm getting pretty much the same as the OP, but i'll keep COD and probably switch BF4 for NFS.
I also took the whole december off.

I don't know. Did not even get a notification :)

But on amazon.de there are often price little price cuts, which are immediatly changed again, therefore the price for a preorder stays cut

Huh, when did you order? Mine still sits at 399 and i ordered in June.

I'll get mine on the 29th, but then I'm off to America for a couple of weeks nearly immediately after. Stupid work.

If that means you and the rest of the guys put a game out rather sooner than later, then i'm totally fine with that ;)
