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

Just called JB Hifi (Aus) and he said none of their stores have the colored DS4's on order. Apparently waiting for a confirmation date. Damn, damn, damn James.
 
If I were to try and buy a PS4 on launch day without a pre order which retailer would I be best going to? ShopTo messed up my original pre order and It ended up being cancelled.

Probably got to think outside the box. Stores such as GAME have pre-orders for shipments after launch so any cancellations will go to one of those customers.

What about places such as Asda, Tesco, Argos, Currys/PC World? You could try ocuk, I use them for my PC components but I'm sure they are stocking the PS4 too. www.overclockers.co.uk. Reliable site, but can be a bit pricey.

Good Luck!!

I think overclockers uk have sold out of there ps4 units allready mate.
 
What happend with your shopto preorder mate?

When they tried to take the payment my bank kept blocking it as "suspicious activity" presumably because I never used them before and now they were trying to take £350 at 11pm. I tried to call my bank to authorise the payment but by then ShopTo had tried the extra two times to charge and my pre order was cancelled.

Argos. There's whispers going around they're doing first come first serve. Supermarkets, HMV and Toys R Us are worth a look as well.
 
Try john lewis

Argos have the best price on controllers at £44.99

Yeah, I've just checked the Argos website and it seems the only way to purchase one from them is to go in store on the day, that seems top be my best bet.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions
 
Do you guys think GAME might be able to swap my black DS4 order from Amazon for a blue one?

I'm guessing not, but I'm heading down to GAME on Fri morning to pick up FIFA and BF4 anyway. Worth a try?

They will likely be able to do something for you, probably cost you some cash tho.
 
Amazon.de's "3 for 2" thing is stupid.
I choose BF4 and NFS and Killzone for free.
But I have to pay 70€ for BF4, 80€ for NFS, normal prices.
And 11€ shipment because in germany BF4 and Killzone are rated 18+ and they have to check my id when delivering and that costs extra.
So I'm paying 161€ for three games in the "3 for 2" deal.
That'd be 53,6€ for each of the three games... doesn't feel like I got one for free...
 
So, Amazon.de just told me in my order details, that the Killzone bundle will arrive after the 25th of December. Even though I ordered on the first day it was available (4th of September).

Ok this is getting annoying... the days seem to be passing soooo slow.

And i still haven't seen any indication that Scan will have my order sent out on time. Im never doing this preorder nonsense again.

That deserves some choice words that would turn the air a rather fetching shade of blue.

Polish Sony has informed 1,5 week ago, that all preorders before 03-09 will be availability 29-11. We've preordered since 07-08 if I'm not wrong, so maybe in Germany is the same situation?
 
I take it we can download the firmware from the US playstation site and use with our European systems? I'm preparing for launch so I want my USB and new HDD ready to go asap.

Just downloaded the ~850mb firmware and put on my USB.

Indeed.
 
Crumbled and bought a 1TB HDD ready for friday. Is the recovery file up on Playstation EU yet?

The file is the same one as the U.S, isn't it?

Yeah I would like to know this also.

I bet there's going to be another firmware update before the euro launch on Friday.
 
Does it has to be a USB stick for the Update or can you use a external HDD?
Shouldn't be any difference should they?

Shouldn't matter? You should still be able to recover with 1.51, and then if her is an update the PS4 will just download and install it? I'll have a quick check on Friday morning but I'll have 1.51 sitting there on a USB an stick ready to go.
 
I purchased the "Buy 2 get 3" offer from amazon...and amazon allrdy sent it, except for Knack. Problem is that i didn't like any of the multiplatform titles i could choose as 3rd game, so i'm raffling it off, so somebody else can enjoy it.

it's a german site, feel free to enter the giveaway if you life in austria, swiss, germany ^^

Same story in NZ. Some local places are saying 28th Feb for both the red and blue DS4's, so if that's not a placeholder date, then might be the same for you guys also?!
 
First time using DPD since they got their new creep tracking on it. Friday is going to be hard.

This is not the PS4.
