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

Same thing happened to me this morning...

Same here... Kind of. I was actually just about to cancel all my preorders because of all the hardware issue talk, low review scores and Super Mario 3D World getting 10's. Feels suprisingly nice to have the first PS4 game sitting right here though so I'll go in day 1 anyway. Now the waiting begins! :)
 
I'm not sure what games to get myself. I was planning on getting Battlefield, but since the multiplayer part is a complete trainwreck I'm not picking it up until it is fixed. So it might be worth waiting a week to see if DICE fixes their game. If not, I'm going for Killzone. Getting both is a bit much for me.

AC4 is already a sure buy. I'm playing the PS3 version, it's a good game and will give you quite a lot of playtime [I've played 25 hours and I'm not even halfway through the sequences].

yeah, in the end I'm getting the KZ pack and picked up AC - as I have PS+ I'll have plenty to keep me busy for now!
 
What's this about Amazon shipping early? I sincerely hope they don't because I won't have the cash in my account to pay for it until the day before release...

Thanks, I somehow forgot Battlefield was broken online at the minute, so that's out and ACIV is in to boost the single-player lineup.

And because NBA is fuelled with microtransactions again, I'm going to hold off until it's cheaper. Need for Speed IN.

Do you mean ACIV? They're not shipping early. The game is out tomorrow on PS4, just like Call of Duty was out at the beginning of the month.
 
Well, CoD, AC:BF, FIFA, Just Dance and ... some other game are allready in the dutch shops.

I spoke with the manager and he said he would receive the PS4 before launchdate and he was considering calling me as soon as it arrives. Fuck yeah.

Toast crumb on your kitchen work top!
 
I'm torn on my launch selection, guys.

Call of Duty, Knack, Killzone and FIFA are certain, and I have Battlefield and NBA 2K14 ordered, but I also want Need for Speed and Assassin's Creed now too, after watching some Twitch streams.

Financially, I could afford them, but in terms of time, I certainly can't. So, I was thinking, two sports games and three multiplayer shooters is probably not the way to go. Swap Battlefield and NBA with NFS as AssCreed. But NBA and BF4 both look outstanding.... Goddamn, somebody tell me what to do.


I'll buy Playstation 4 and Playstation Camera with:

Killzone
AC IV
NFS Rivals
Battlefield 4
FIFA 14
Knack


Are all great games, the only doubt is Knack, but this game inspires me and I still want to try it!

- 8 days!! :-)
 
Really want AC4 but can't justify paying silly money for it. I've still to play AC3 as well...

Also want Knack to play co-op with my GF, mainly due to being starved of PS4 co-op titles at launch. Not willing to pay what it's at just now though, hopefully the price bombs quickly.
 
Can someone give me extra info on this Sony center in Berlin, is it a shop or a place for expositions. Googled , not sure, basically in Latvia earliest I can hope for is the 15th December, which won't do, I took my 2 week paid leave for the first half of December, so I think of just driving the ~ 1300 km and get it on launch day, but I need Info from you German Gaf, what is the address, when does it open on launch day, etc. Thanks
 
I just contacted my retailer to see if I can get my Killzone order changed to ACIV. It seems like the better game overall instead of buying Killzone just to admire the eye candy.
 
Anyone know how much GAME are charging for XBone games in-store? Curious, since the PS4 prices haven't revealed but imagine they'll be the same. Weighing up whether to bother with NFS from them with the £10 off or ordering online.

Congrats bro. Glad you didn't cancel.

Sony Center is building complex at Potsdamer Platz in the centre of Berlin.

Information about the launch event in German are here: http://blog.de.playstation.com/2013...en-verkaufsstart-der-playstation-4-in-berlin/
The event starts on November 28 (thursday!) at 5 pm and console sales start at 7 pm. Sony claims that there are enough consoles for every potential buyer.
 
God damn I am pissed off at Zavvi for cancelling my order without explanation. I mentioned the friendly "We can confirm that the cancellation for the products listed below has been successful. Your card has not been charged for these items" mail I received earlier, and has since tried coming into contact with Zavvi without success.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I have tried their contact function, their order feedback function, Facebook, you name it. Just silence.

yeah I read the blog(know german) , but shiiiiet, going 1300 km, and then not getting it would be fucking awful, lol, meet you there? :D

What order is it, not your actual PS4?
 
Is anyone else in phase 3 at GAME? I'm apparently guaranteed before Christmas at my branch, but I'm just wondering if it's worth calling other local stores after launch in case there's any stragglers.
 
Next gen isn't really starting good for me. First Amazon.de doesn't manage to deliver my KZ megabundle on release and now my first game is delivered broken.
The case has a crack on the side and it seems like it won't close/open well. The cover is also teared apart at the side. I will return it to Amazon and get a replacement.

I guess the idiot from DHL wanted to stuff the game in our mail slot with force and broke it. Our mail slot isn't made for packages.
What a bad omen. My Vita also had a dead pixel at launch which I didn't replace (pixel is in a corner) and my 60GB PS3 had a broken fan control.
I hope now I have run out of bad luck.
 
I paid mine off manually a couple of days ago. Ordered the killzone/Cod ghosts bundle. The money has been debited from my account but its not processing yet.

I tweeted shopto and they said nothing to worry about yet they will be processing orders for the next several days.

Just checked on my account now and it says processing. I paid for it a few months back.
 
wow - all these online shopping issues :(

I'm glad a bit the bullet and went with Game, for once they're pulling through (though I hears the recent £20 price drop was a Sony incentive) - but at least I can get mine at midnight without risking delays or damaged goods...also I can pop into store and create hell if I have an issue :)
 
Has there been any confirmation on what the DD pricing will be on the PSN store for the UK?

I haven't ordered any games yet (except the bundled KZ), and I'd like to go all-digital given the mandatory installs. However if the pricing is going to be ridiculous I'll just pre-order some physical games now, at least I can trade them.
 
Oh yes, Zavvi just cancelled my PS4 without further explanation and has chosen not to answer me further. I should note that all other inquires to them in other topics have been answered pretty quickly.

Wow that sucks, I'd ask them to confirm what IP address was used in the cancellation. Hopefully you can get it all sorted out quickly though.

Same as Xbox I would guess. Most games are £54.99 on there. Though MS first party games are £44.99
 
ONE MORE FECKING WEEK!!!!!! Argh, it's been along slog since February, picking up a KZ mega bundle with BF4 but now need to find an extra title whilst BF4 becomes a coaster so using the money I was going to spend on premium on another game(not buying premium until shit gets sorted)

Torn between the following....

Fifa,
CoD Ghosts,
NBA 2K14
AC IV

Which one fellow GAF'fers?
I'm partial to either one.

For third party games I imagine it'll be the same as what's on the Xbox store now, £54.99.

EDIT: Beaten :(

Given that you've already got 2 shooters, unless you REALLY love that genre I'd give COD a miss, I ended up cancelling my BF4 and going the COD route myself.
 
£54.99 for digital? That's disappointing, when most titles can be had for under 50 quid on Amazon, plus the fact I can trade those in, reducing the price even more. I wish I could say I was surprised but I know deep down Steam has spoilt me

I guess I will pre-order my games this week then
 
I'm stuck on the fence on digital or retail, I know that obviously retail will be cheaper, BUT having the Vita and the idea of a library of games just to stream on the fly without the need of a disc is almost worth the difference to me I feel. I'm really stuck on what to do.

Ìf you would get a 1.5TB drive i guess digital would be pretty feasible, anything smaller however and you are probably going to run into a shortage of space real quick.
