I think in the region of 225K PS4's for the UK launch.

 

[leng jai]

Awwwww sheeit

 

[Portugeezer]

Fuck me, my ISP (Virgin Media) is having some network issues in my area this week.

Internet randomly disconnects, it's back now, but what shitty timing with PS4 coming tomorrow

225k would be 3:2 on the Xbone which is what those pre order numbers we had WERE. But they changed.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I've drove past two ASDA's and two Tesco's before midnight and they were packed. I'll get one tomorrow morning in work but this could be a huge launch in the UK.

I couldn't believe the queue in mine when we pulled up. Thankfully they split it into pre-orders and the first come first serve line. Apparently only 5 people turned up for the XBone launch and the odd person asking if they had spares. Huge difference.

Really can't wait to see the sales!

see if netflix still region lock

Oh man if I can use American Netflix...

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Where is this? Birmingham?

Looks like Perry barr/Witton Road ,right?

I reckon around that as well. Since the PS3 launched with 165,000 the PS4 seems to have a lot more hype and is £75 cheaper.

Hi all. No movement on my DPD tracking. I also fell asleep about an hour after I got in from work. No idea how that happened.

 

[SilentFlyer]

Da beenz. Spill dem.

The best part of 800 online. They've got stock going to select stores too.

Not a great deal of stock as they don't have the buying power of a specialist like GAME or a supermarket but still, that's more than 1 a second.

[adamantypants]

I'm jelly of your stands Europeans. Mad jelly. No vertical feet on these things

 

[Venturer]

Gonna guess 300k for the UK, and 1million for the EU as a whole.

 

[Simply Sami]

Hi all. No movement on my DPD tracking. I also fell asleep about an hour after I got in from work. No idea how that happened.

If it says scheduled for 29th then they will text you in morning.

 

[JerC]

Amazon have finally decided to prepare mine ready for dispatch. Think it's safe to say I'm not getting mine until next week. It would have to have been dispatched yesterday for me to get it in Ireland.

 

[TheOther]

Updating as we speak! Damn, Webhallen in Stockholm was packed!

Hopefully the update will work this time. Grabbed the wrong PS4UPDATE first time...

 

[Delusibeta]

Da beenz. Spill dem.

He did, about 800.

 

[boredandlazy]

Standing in line at my EB (Western Australia) with 20 minutes before launch, only about 10-15 people standing in line. No surprises though since it's an 8am opening time, not a midnight launch or anything. I know they have about 175 preorders, but a lot of people have work etc.

Line had swelled to around 50 people by the time the store opened. Can confirm mine is made in China but the HDMI port is fine, and the console is currently installing the system software after installing my SSHD so everything looks fine thus far.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I'd be setting up my lovely new PS4 right now but my screwdriver is too bloody big for the screw to change the HDD. I have everything else ready but getting the fucking screws loose

Gonna have to wait till after work tomorrow now. All day (

 

[CoffeeExpress]

I go to sleep. I get up. I go get my PS4.

When isnt virgin having issues?

They only thing reliable abouth them is the warning reminders i haveny paid my bill.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

I can't believe I have work till 8pm tomorrow, gonna be a long wait...

 

[cyberheater]

Right guys. Off to bed. Good luck and enjoy your PS4s.

 

[JP]

My ShopTo/DPD order has been sitting in the depot about 10 miles away since 7:30 today.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I can't believe I have work till 8pm tomorrow, gonna be a long wait...

I'm there till 6 so I feel your pain

 

[tamaster92]

Anyway bed for me, was fun being here guys. So hype for my ps4 later today

 

[phuturist]

Pretty boring scene at a german shopping mall midnight launch. Oh well, have fun, fellow Europeans and everyone else that has one!


Soooo, how do I find out if mine is japanese?

 

[PaulLFC]

Good stuff! I worried for you a few pages back, it was you who said it wasn't looking likely wasn't it?!

At one point I was getting a bit worried! No dispatch email from ShopTo and no change on DPD until quite late but it looks like it's still on for delivery today now.

 

[MikeJAMoran]

If it says scheduled for 29th then they will text you in morning.

Yeah, it is. Thanks duder. Now I hope I can back to sleep.

 

[CorrisD]

So where is the best place for a UK'er to download the PS4 firmware before it comes in the morning to save me time and hassle?

 

[sono]

Any UK online retailer have any left ?

Straight from the Playstation website.

[ButchCat]

Can any UKers confirm their PS4 is a Japanese make?

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Seemed majority bought the Killzone bundle. I took pity on Knack and was the only one to ask for that one lol.

Though the first come first serve people are going to be left with having to get that bundle if they want a PS4 lol

I'm sure I'll enjoy it though.

Oh mine is a China Fox BTW

Get in!

For all my moaning about the slightly me Midnight launch earlier, about 70 people in the store at 10 to, actually really well organised though, was back in my car by 12:05

 

[whyman]

Hopefully the update will work this time. Grabbed the wrong PS4UPDATE first time...

Wow, only 10 ppl at my local gamestop. And at the webhallen i passed it was maybe 20.

So far the PS4 is awesome. Love the UI.

 

[george_us]

Hope you Euros are enjoying the PS4!

 

[Silurus]

Was home for 12:10

Still setting up

 

[ReplacementPelican]

What the fuck, how do you get the Steelbook Killzone!?

 

[qa_engineer]

Good luck getting some sleep tonight.


Edit: this morning?

 

[Guymelef]

Mine.

 

[Anth1888]

What the fuck, how do you get the Steelbook Killzone!?

It was a GAME exclusive in the UK I think?

 

[Dibbz]

YES

 

[Zafir]

Was it? I don't recall seeing it having a Steelbook.

 

[Portugeezer]

They only thing reliable abouth them is the warning reminders i haveny paid my bill.

I've been with them for 5 years with minimal issues, this is the only time I have had any prolonged issues (days worth).

I've been off contract with them for a year now so I'll be calling them soon to get a good deal, otherwise I can switch. No biggie. But man, what timing to fuck up.

 

[TheOther]

Swedish bought standard PS4(no bundle) is made in Japan btw.

 

[Facism]

more exciting that nigella lawson on coke!

Fucking crazy how much buzz around my area there has been about this console compared the xbone

 

[PirateKing]

Where do you guys check where the console was made?

 

[NahNever]

I see the 1.51 update is only available on the US website and not the UK website yet. Is ok for me to download and use the US update file or not for my UK system?

 

[boredandlazy]

I noticed when picking up my PS4 that EBGames were selling the TV clip for the camera for $30. That's a complete joke since the US version comes with it for nothing. Lucky I don't need the clip.
