DPD just emailed me to say that my order will be with me on the 28th...

It's happening?

huh Shopto?

 

[Insane Metal]

Begging that the 14 day Plus trial works on my account. Can't afford to renew for a few days.
Could always make a second account if not I guess.

Amazon will be selling the 1 year PSN Plus sub for 30$ on Black Friday... get it!

 

[Mondy]

11 hours and 30 minutes, Aussies.

I need to get on that.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

huh Shopto?

Yes, it still says it's processing on ShopTo but the DPD email says it'll be here tomorrow.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Your time is coming, guys!

Please, do yourselves a favor and get RESOGUN as soon as possible.

Already in my download list.

Wait will that USA ps plus card work on European account?

 

[Simply Sami]

Have you guys actually looked at the DPD tracking. Has the package been collected?

I doubt DPD have collected any until tomorrow.

 

[Nakor]

11 hours and 30 minutes, Aussies.

8 hours and 20 minutes, Kiwis.

 

[boredandlazy]

Not for those in WA. Have to wait until 8am tomorrow morning. So 21 hours 15 minutes.

 

[Nomad Blue]

Will be picking up my pre-order (assuming they're not understocked!) in 16 hours when the store opens at 8am(NZ). Shame there wasn't a midnight opening at the store I bought it from, but I can wait the extra 8 hours.

Tomorrow I shall mainly be "working from home"!

 

[DSN2K]

amazon are preparing my dispatch

 

[Pachimari]

I were told no.

I'm going with the not-so-honorable "I'm sick" approach.

 

[boredandlazy]

I just took a day off. I've been too transparent in regards to the launch of the PS4 to get away with chucking a sicky.

 

[Insane Metal]

Hm... honestly, I have no idea

 

[HolyFridge]

Wait will that USA ps plus card work on European account?

Nope. You have to make a US account and redeem it there. You will then have PS+ on all your accounts.

 

[Cheech]

ok I've got BF4 coming with my console and collecting Fifa tomorrow but I don't plan on getting Killzone........is there something wrong with me???

No, you're in the smart money avoiding Killzone. We Americans beta tested the console for you, and additionally saved you however many euros/pounds on bad games.

My countrymen love our shooters, and it goes BF4>CoD>Killzone. We are experts. Hah.

Seriously, though, BF4 is better than the other two by a very large margin. They've even mostly fixed it compared to what it was at launch.

 

[Nomad Blue]

I'm going with the not-so-honorable "I'm sick" approach.

Are you picking it up at midnight? Wouldn't want to get caught shopping tomorrow morning when you're supposed to be sick!

 

[lemmykoopa]

Nope. You have to make a US account and redeem it there. You will then have PS+ on all your accounts.

So I make a fake USA account. I redeem it there. I log back into my European account and psplus will be activated on the euro account 100% sure?

 

[slava419]

My manager is into gaming as well. Wonder if he'll put the two together when i call in sick tomorrow.

Oh man, that's not fun

 

[justino]

Back to first base at Amazon....
Gone from Preparing For Dispatch back to Item Not Yet Dispatched
Anyone else???

 

[SnakeEyes]

New Zealand PS4 launch in 7hrs, 3mins...

Time to get hyped!

6 hrs 51 mins!

Definitely midnight launch, then playing all day until I can't stay awake anymore!

 

[spatenfloot]

No, you would just be able to play online and play the US Plus games on your other account. You would not get the EU plus games.

 

[Replicant]

Sorry if these have been asked before but I want to be extra sure I get it right;

What's the latest firmware for PS4?

Where can I download it?

Do I need to install previous firmware before applying this one to my brand new PS4?

1.51 I believe. Don't havea link, but I believe it's at Playstation.com

Also, you won't need the previous firmware.

Tracking my games via Royal Mail Tracking. Come to me my prettys

There's also a GAF thread for more instructions:

[MadD4mon]

There is also an European version of the firmware update.

Yep, and for those changing the hard drive -

[Samboread]

There is also an European version of the firmware update.

and an Australian Version

http://au.playstation.com/home/news/articles/detail/item663043/Update-your-PS4-system-software/

But I'm sure its the same as the UK version

 

[DrunkDan]

Hmmm. Still no change on my order nor have the funds been requested from my account.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

My ps4 is still on dispatching now. It seems like they are holding onto ps4's until later today (amazon).

Yeah, they are all the same file (same md5sum), only served from different CDN:

US: http://dus01.ps4.update.playstation...d49d42a08a0927f0692a2372d9e9e6e/PS4UPDATE.PUP
UK: http://duk01.ps4.update.playstation...d49d42a08a0927f0692a2372d9e9e6e/PS4UPDATE.PUP
AU: http://dau01.ps4.update.playstation...d49d42a08a0927f0692a2372d9e9e6e/PS4UPDATE.PUP

Probably a lot faster when downloading from your own region (even though this would not always be the case).

 

[Trickytoon]

Finally, I'm onto 'Dispatching now' status. Now, fingers crossed that I get all my work done today so that my day's holiday isn't cancelled!

 

[Addnan]

Today we hope for DPD from Amazon.

Need more sleep. Woke up several times to check email..

 

[Nyx]

27 hours to go before I can pick up my PS4, 35 hours to go before I can hook it up.

 

[Gustav]

Switched to "preparing dispatch". I'm seriously thinking of going to the #4thegamersnight event here in Berlin this evening to get a PS4 early. That would mean I'd have to send back my Amazon one. And probably also the 3 games I got on a 'buy 3 pay for 2' discount because I pre-ordered.

What to do? What to do?

 

[Bluforce]

12 hours since now and I'll have a PS4.

Greatness Awaits for real.

 

[Danziger]

Only 24 hours....

Oh My God!!!!!!!! O_O

 

[MilkBeard]

I'm happy for you Europeans, excited to get your PS4s which will be launched soon. I'm curious to see how well the launch goes.

 

[Applecot]

Not for those in WA. Have to wait until 8am tomorrow morning. So 21 hours 15 minutes.

Whoa where are you that you have no midnight launches?

 

[leng jai]

17 hours or so (not into midnight launches) to go before I get mine with KZ4 and Knack

 

[SnakeEyes]

6 hrs 51 mins!

4hrs 30 mins!

 

[Danziger]

I'm happy for you Europeans, excited to get your PS4s which will be launched soon. I'm curious to see how well the launch goes.

I hope and believe it will be a great launch!

One million or more of PS4 sold?? Yes, i Think is possible!!

 

[Nakor]

4hrs 30 mins!

4 hours 26 minutes!


\/ picked these up half an hour ago from my local ebgames

 

[Vee_One]

Whoa where are you that you have no midnight launches?

Nowhere in WA does midnight launch
Must be a trading regulation

 

[systemfehler]

I think my faith in Amazon is dwindling. Now even monday seems a far stretch - so far I could still change the options for my order, postal service is not working on saturday in Austria. If my console goes out late today like it looks for now I doubt that I get it on monday. Customer service is as helpfull as ever: "We can't influence the postal service but Amazon sends out packages so that you will get it at the mentioned date" - uh no doesn't look that way. Well back to PS3 for one last weekend it is.
