PS4 just have arrived in Portugal
Where is that fellow GAFfer? PM if need. Thanks in advance!
Thanks a lot dude. I'll post in here when it arrives. I've got two coming, GS and ShopTo and the ShopTo has been processing for 9 days. The GS one could potentially come tomorrow or Thursday, I'm super excited!
I stopped using ShopTo because their prices are the same as GAME now and their customer service has been horrendous, that's when I found GS and started using them about 3 months ago, everything has came early so far, I even got Arkham Origins 2 days early!

Can someone in the UK or EU confirm that you can't add PSN+ codes to your SEN account via a browser on PC when you have no devices on your account or can you not redeem a PSN+ code via a PC at all?

Me and you dude! I'd like to see an unboxing of any bundle honestly, but the mega bundle.. yes!

Nice! I feel bad for not giving GS a chance now
. I think a console is a little too much for me to trust someone I don't really know or heard of though, I would have if I couldn't get a mega bundle anywhere else, but ShopTo offered me it in the end. If you get it a day or two early, I'll be very jealous, ha ha!Don't quite thing ShopTo are as bad as Game yet. Ordered twice from Game, and both times I got the game late, that and its overpriced and their attitude doesnt seem very customer friendly.
ShopTo I've had no problems apart from 2 games not reaching me by release date, one had a legit reason, the other, may have just been personal to me or the weird release date.
Price wise... again ShopTo don't seem quite as bad as Game, they seem to try and match Amazon at most times, theres a few times I recall where they havent,
Customer service wise, had no issues either, in fact one time I accidentally ordered the £25 PSN code physically and I meant digital and quickly raised a ticket to cancel it and they confirmed in the morning they stopped the code being sent out and they refunded me, a few days later, the £25 physical card shown up in the post, ha ha, which was awesome! (For me), but yeah if they did something shitty to me I'd probably be put off them too, nothing yet though.
With what you say about GS though I'll have to look into giving them a chance for something in the future!
Haha, on the bright side his football fanaticism is what got me hooked to that. And thanks to him I can proudly say I supported Chelsea before we were good.
Yes me and my mate decided leave John Lewis as a backup and try Asda. Officially the EU has 2 year guarantee laws on electricals anyway so if anything happens I'll just push it with Asda customer services lool.
My little cousin has recently got into MineCraft so I'm thinking of getting into it just so he can have someone to chat to about it. And I've always wondered what the fuss is about anyway so it's perfect timing. I'll probably get the PS4 version.
Most my family friends are into games as well. We've got a DOTA fanatic, a TF2 guy, an AC obsessive, a R&C fanatic. I'm an all-rounder though haha. It's always brilliant when there's a big get together, parents are downstairs chatting about meh stuff and we're all upstairs discussing, watching or playing games. It's like GAF brought to life I tell you lool.
Proud to say I've got my younger sister and the younger family friends into classic Crash Bandicoot. When I have a kid in the future they are going to be raised with a Classical Education I can guarantee that! lol.
Where is that fellow GAFfer? PM if need. Thanks in advance!
Very welcome buddy! It's from Fnac retailer warehouse
720p version exclusive to Portugal?
I know, we are on a crisis over here, maybe we cant handle 1080p

My local GAME store was accepting payment today. Got a pretty good deal. Killzone pack + BF for £411. Worked out better than Amazon. I also checked that stock was in and was told it's arriving now so basically I'm all set for midnight opening.....Hand in my receipt and it will all be ready to go.
It also helped that the young lady behind the counter was hot.

I had a similar question on the American side. The answer was this:
The only way to get PSN+ on PC is to directly purchase it off the SEN site. You can only redeem PSN+ codes on a Sony device.
You and I are in the same boat and don't actually own an older Sony device. I was worried Resogun and Contrast would swap out before the end of the year but I was told they'll be sticking around for a while due to the limited library at the moment.
Hope that helps.

IIRC it stupidly has something to do with having to have a credit card linked up to be able to redeem a code.
Ah football lol my other passion, was a season ticket holder supporting Dundee United for almost 25 years. Now I still watch them on tv and listen on radio, but now I have a soft spot for Arsenal, even visited the stadium one holiday.

One shop (Discshop) in Finland has already sent PS4s and ready for pickup. Lucky bastards. Unfortunately I ordered from somewhere else

So if someone does the 14 an wants to stack a 30 can they do that?

Pre paying could mean you actually wait longer.
At the X1 launch there was queue on the left hand side of the shop out the door and around the corner. I joined that one and the guy said "has everyone paid?" I said only a deposit. He told me to go to another queue on the right and that I'd have to pay and then go back outside to join the big queue.
When I paid the guy just gave me my console and games and I walked out, only three prepaid customers had actually been served. So I was in and out in 15 minutes whilst some prepaid customers would have been looking at an hour plus.
i guess its based on the system settings of your phone
I just want to pay to make doubly sure they have my order correct. Not trading in anything, paying with a game giftcard so should be fast.
With GAME starting to take prepayments a day earlier (from today), I wonder if that is a reflection of how many preorders they need to get through?

She told me she would take a note that I was heading down at midnight and would bundle it all up, but come to think about it, I don't think she did. Fingers crossed though. I'm up at 6 the next morning!
Just learned that 155 Asda stores are doing midnight launches for those without pre-orders. List here:
http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/155-...ay-on-a-first-come-first-served-basis/0124916
I was set on John Lewis but they don't open until 9/10 hours later. But on the other hand they give their excellent 2 year guarantee. But then Asda are doing better value with games. DECISIONS, DECISIONS!
That's us crazies in a nutshell. Only come out at launches hahaha.
You're an inspiration. I hope I'm still just as excited about this stuff when I'm that age too. My Dad is around your age but he's into cars rather than games!
Trust me, you "get over" gaming as much as you get over books, your favorite music, movies etc.
Changed system language to English, restarted app, no change, set clear cache flag on Playstation app under system settings, closed down app, and started it, still in Swedish.
It's going to be virtually unusable for me if I can't set the language to English. Swedish translations are horrid...
So you're saying is:
Haha my mum has been telling me I'd get over gaming since I was 10. Lol 31 years later she has given up now and realised it won't happen.
Me and you dude! I'd like to see an unboxing of any bundle honestly, but the mega bundle.. yes!

Yeah don't get me wrong, ShopTo have been great for years, when I found them by accident, they were unheard of, they were much cheaper, delivered super fast and their customer service was outstanding.
As they grew bigger though, their prices creeped up and I was fine with that, then they started being less efficient with posting and the final straw was when they were giving customers abuse by social media, me included! Haha.
I only asked if they'd be bringing the price of the PS4 down to the RRP price and I got a snotty reply basically telling me to cancel my pre-order and go elsewhere if I didn't like their prices, I was stunned.
I had two ordered with them and didn't want to lose my place in the queue so I couldn't really do anything about it.
Then a few weeks later I asked if I'd be offered the Mega Bundle, again they snapped and banned me from posting to their Facebook account! Haha.
I found GameSeek at that point and managed to get the MegaBundle but it was one per customer so I cancelled one of them with ShopTo and after I get my PS4 from them, they will never see another penny from me and they've had thousands of pounds over the last 3 or 4 years.
Yeah definitely give GS a try, gamestop.co.uk has served me well too, always got it on time but mostly sooner and their prices are awesome for a lot of things. £39.97 for DS4's and the camera compared to £55 at ShopTo.

I know it's not going to happen but at this point I just want Amazon.co.uk to take my money and be done with it so that I can calm the anxiety.
My phone beeped this morning while I was sleeping and I dreamt that I woke up, looked at the screen, and it was a cancellation notice from them. I can't deal with much more of this.

Fuck sake the 2 closest asdas to me are not on the list. Instead of giving one to a city store they give them to a town 10 miles away, I hope tescos in my city get them.

When I went to pay the guy had 10 sheets of an Excel table with the font size set to 5pt with each row being a preorder.
Hooray! Maybe I will get mine on Thursday. That would be awesome!

Just been to GAME to pay off my ps4 for the fast track line. He proceeds to go out the back, BRING out my ps4 and games and put them in a bag right in front of me! Then staples it shut, puts a ticket on the bag and gives me the corresponding ticket for launch night!!! Nooooo I could bleddy smell it!

My local GAME store just tweeted that the early Phase 2 pre-orders are getting their consoles this week. I've got my fingers crossed for next week!

Im with you 100% mate going through the exact same thing. Pre-ordered on the 11 June 2013 although I have a November 29th delivery date they've never sent me an email confirming that date. Although im sure ive never had emails like that for anything else that was on pre order before.
It's frustrating me so much that my mindset is the order won't even dispatch. Their online CS chat say to me that dispatch is due 28th and delivery on the 29th. But for some reason Im taking that with a large pinch of salt.
What is supposed to be an easy week of waiting has turned (in-part down to myself) into a stressfull time.
Hope it all turns out well for you.

Such teasing should be an arrestable offense. It's bad enough i've had my copy of Ghosts starring at me for the last week and a half ¬__¬
Hmm seems like the power has got to ShopTo's head then? Ha ha. Sorry to hear about you getting abuse from them, pretty bad. As I said hasn't happened to me yet though, I've even asked about their prices changing for products and they havent been snotty about it for me yet.
Ah gamestop UK too, yeah I've been tempted to get through them sometimes too, next game I want I'll have to look around, these 3, ha ha. Gamestop have been brilliant for PS4 accessories lately too yeah, but no need for an extra DS4/Camera with the mega bundle, if I didn't though would have shot there immediately!

Damn with Amazon DE shipping maybe as early as tomorrow there is a slight chance that I get my PS4 on friday. I never planned for that to happen and except for the PS+ games I only ordered BF4 from the UK which won't arrive before monday. Now I will end up with a console that has no games
What time did you get there and how big were the queues when you did?
Not been to a system midnight launch before so have little concept of what the best time to start queuing is. I was going to rock up there at about 9ish.
Damn dude, I'd be gutted.
