PS4 Pro boxes getting prepped

Ahhh so excited. I should probably clear a bit of space on my OG to help with the transfer.

Very surprised my target order is being delivered tomorrow when I ordered Friday night. I was expecting next week with how UPS works. I'm going to make sure the UPS guy doesn't try to pull a fast one because they like to pretend no one is home and just drive off.

I've just deleted nearly 1tb of games I only kept Battlefield, Uncharted and a couple of PSN games. I need my transfer to go quick, I need this thing up and running as quick as possible lol. I'll back those games up tonight onto an external as I've heard it's slightly quicker than the Ethernet way. So I'll back up those couple of games, then take the hard drive out, its 2tb and I'll put that in the pro tomorrow and I'll need to do all the firmware stuff ughhh it's probably still going to take me a couple of hours to get it set up. I'm excited, I love new hardware.
 
I'm sorry you went through that. Honestly, it sounds more of a one-off scenario, but, you should do what makes you comfortable with items you look forward to having on time.

Maybe use the credit on an MP3 or digital software?

Cheers man. Yeah it sucks but I'm installing Gears 4 back on the Xbone (it was on the USB I've used to backup for the Pro) and I've booked Friday off now as well so it's not all bad.

I'm actully considering hitting up a supermarket in the morning and if they have one in-stock Amazon can have theirs back but I doubt I'll be that lucky.

On another note the fuckers haven't dispatched Dishonored 2 either. Bloody hell I hate Amazon UK right now.

Hrmmm... I would call back and bitch about that as well. Get all the credit you can, then, after the holidays cancel your Prime. Only activate it when they run free trials and cancel again after. Just a thought.

My Prime doesn't end till mid december......so I'll abuse it till then.


Cancelling this crap for sure.

Same here, no PS4 Pro (ordered back in Sept.) and no Dishonored 2 yet.
And it's 10pm now.
I got orders shipped this late in the past and delivered the following day, but still...

Yep, and every time they screw up, hit them up for credit to use on digital stuff with instant delivery.

I debate cancelling, but I've been with them for years Without many issues and they always give credit and are crazy lenient on returns. They even took back n opened No Man's Sky and gave me a refund in full.

Has yours been handed to a carrier yet? If not you could still be in luck.

Mine has been given to one but can't be delivered tomorrow, my guess it's been assigned to someone who is over booked.
 
So when I get the new PS4 tomorrow, do I have to disable the old one as a primary before starting the system transfer, or will it do it automatically? Also, is the system transfer in the settings or elsewhere?
 
Pro arriving tomorrow and I am working all day! Do Hermes (sounds like a bad disease) attempt once and then leave a calling card? I live in an apartment so they will more than likely not leave it outside.

No. It has been "Preparing for dispatch" for hours now, but I'm still waiting for a shipping notification.
 
It could be as simple as:

1. Deactivate PS4 as primary console.
2. Factory Reset PS4
3. Active my PS4 Pro as primary Console
4. Re-download what I need.

Right?
 
Amazon UK here and it still hasn't been dispatched and yet still saying delivery for tomorrow.

Should I be contacting CS?

Same here. Contacted them an hour ago and was told I shouldn't worry.
A few times I had some orders dispatched very late, after 10pm or even 11pm and got them the next day, so it's still possible...hopefully

I reckon they are probably working through the night and the system will update in the morning.

If you haven't been given a carrier yet and it's still saying tomorrow you have a better chance than I do.

Just curious, and off-topic, I see you're a NY Giants Football(U.S.) fan. Is that common in the U.K.? Being an American Football fan?

It's likely amazon logistics delivering so they could easily do it late at night. I've had dispatch emails from them at 23:30 before now and its been there next day.

Won't hurt to give them a poke, but I imagine they've got a fair few to get through!

Not common, but they exist. One guy I work with had a Redskins season ticket one year. Flew in for every game. Another guy I work with is mad for the Giants.
 
Hmm, looks like I'm heading out tomorrow to buy one from somewhere! I made it happen, yesssss. I assume they should be in stock pretty much anywhere.
 
I didn't factory reset my old PS4 but I deactivated it and took out the 2TB and put the old 500GB it originally came with in. That reset the PS4 I guess.

Hmm...nothing has changed yet on where the item is. Very odd.

Yep probably. This is in Portugal today

Nice!

Now I just need a tech to come out and inspect my Sammy 4K. I bought it two months ago and there's a slim yellow vertical line going down the middle of the screen. Samsung has been slow to get someone sent out...

A guy I didn't like supported the Redskins and the Giants beat them in the first game I watched so I started following them after. I think it was around 1986 and it wasn't really that common but it did have a small audience thanks to Channel 4 showing weekly highlights.

It's a lot bigger here now with the London games and although I've dropped off a bit it's still one of my favourite sports and the Giants will always be the very first sports franchise I ever supported.
 
Pro arriving tomorrow and I am working all day! Do Hermes (sounds like a bad disease) attempt once and then leave a calling card? I live in an apartment so they will more than likely not leave it outside.

Hmm I don't know, people in terraced houses have reported Hermes throwing packages over roofs into gardens so it could be left anywhere!

Probably doesn't fill you with confidence sorry. Edit: link is starred out so if you want to know more Google myheremes package on roof.

A neighbour would be my best guess, they hate doing redeliveries with being on such a tight schedule.
 
Just got home about an hour and a half ago, picked up my pro (Australia). Titanfall 2 looks stunning on it in 1080p.

I'm looking forward to trying out Dishonored 2 either tomorrow or early next week when it arrives. I have Infamous to test out as well. Only negative thus far is the disc drive is loud as fuck (Installing shit off of the disc).
 
I think it means they have it behind the counter with your name on it, but the computer won't let them sell it until tomorrow.

You are right, but the messaging is confused. It's not ready for pickup. It will be ready tomorrow.

anyway,

Yes, this is just how they do things, and it's confusing. It states that you would receive the email when your item is ready for pickup and until you get that email you can't. It's really confusing, and I've tried to get around it by showing the Website page to the person at the counter in Best Buy, however, they wouldn't give up the item.

Thats just the thing: I did receive an email say its ready for pickup. But it is not, it won't be released until tomorrow. That system needs to get fixed.

OK, that IS odd. Usually, it's just the site saying it's ready and you don't get the Email, but.. hell.. I guess this proves that wrong at least once. :D

I hope so! But still nothing yet...this "Shipping today" is going to be outdated in 10 minutes or so...
 
(follow up from last post)

UPDATE (sorry it's very late): Yep, GameStop's doing a launch event for the Pro tonight. Seems many stores that at least pulled off good Dishonored 2 pre-order numbers can open up tonight, seems that's the exception my local store is getting to operate off of.

Yay!

EDIT: realize how gross quoting yourself is
