It looks like Sony hasn't actually charged people yet. I'm reading that the amount is still in people's wallets waiting to be deducted or CC's to be charged.
My CC also hasn't been charged.

Nintendo-esque incompetence. Why the fuck even put it up at midnight?!
Nintendo is actually really good at putting up games right at midnight. Can't say the same for Sony.
It's not just watch_dogs. Almost every game up for pre-order in the coming soon category can't be ordered at the moment.
There's a problem in the system.

At what time Watch_Dogs is officially releasing in UK/EU? One hour from now?

Go to the purchase page. You'll note it says 'you already own this game' but it doesn't give you the option to buy it as a gift. It only lets you buy the DLC.
Probably 1AM GMT. Although you never know it might be available in between.
The cars that drove like crap drove that way because they were crap, or big SUVs, etc. The nice cars drove nice. Each car had its own feeling, and you needed to develop some skill.
Further, they had a really nice damage model that penalized shit driving, which gave some motivation to want to get better.
People didn't like it because it was hard and not 'fun'. So we get Saints Row III stuff, which is so boring.

8 minutes ago in the UK and everything east of that already had the timer unlocked, just not the game

Its passed 12am here now. It's 12.08AM so it's technically the 27th
Also a side note I used the Steam CD key on Uplay and it activated but when I launched it I got the same "you can play this when it unlocks" stuff..... sigh

Well, if it's not available elsewhere in Europe despite having passed midnight an hour ago, it's obviously not coming tonight. I may as well cancel & buy at retail in the morning.

Would not worry about the steam countdown timer said - we had 8 hours to go show up in Australia 2 minutes to midnight and then at midnight it magically unlocked with 7 hours left on the clock.
Don't Despair!

Still 50 minutes until midnight GMT/CET, we can still hope.

I don't think Sony understand the purpose of pre-loading.

How does the XBox One version stack up to the PS4?
It doesn't.
UK, checked an hour ago and it was unavailable. Checked at 0015 and it's £59.99. As I said I'll be picking up a boxed copy in the morning, so no idea if you can successfully purchase and play. But you can go and pick up a boxed copy now at GAME so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Any guys with the Nvidia promo code have the game show up in their UPlay account yet?
Aye, i'm waiting for the USA marketplace to put it up. Though i'm not expecting it before 06:00 AM my time

Thanks for your informative input...
Mines on the way!
*stares at tracking*
Been watching tons of streams and vids, and very much liked what i've been seeing regardless of the GTA comparisons (which is selective) etc.
I do have my concerns, but i can overlook minor things.
Cannot wait

It's not too much worse. Resolution difference, obviously. Seems to be lacking in ambient occlusion and has worse shadows. Here's a video: http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/23/5746472/watch-dogs-ps4-xbox-one-comparison-video.
That's not the best comparison but there's others if you search.
Agreed... wonder what happened. Very dissapointed. Shouldnt complain though considering I got the game for cheap.

Is it possible they haven't afforded for BST? Wouldn't surprise me knowing GMG.
Theres a lesson to be learned from GMG which i should have picked up on before, 80% of the games ive got from there, adn ive bought around 20, the keys have come before the date. The other 20% have been promised on the date at midnight and came substantially after, usually in the morning. Like you say though at least its cheap.
That's how I'm dealing with it. Most times I get the key pretty early on for pre-loading, other times it can take a few extra hours. Doesn't bother me too much as I already saved myself $50 thanks to the cheaper price compared to our Australian product pricing.

Wasn't sure I wanted the Season Pass so I preordered the PSN PS4 version. Now I watched the Season Pass trailer and definitely need it, but not seeing it on SEN.
I guess I need to wait til the store updates then? I should have just snagged the Gold edition...

The Steam unlock time being pushed back doesn't bode well for anyone
There's got to be like 4 comparison videos posted in this thread and available on Youtube.
Xbox one is lower resolution, worse aliasing, much lower quality shadows, not sure about LOD's, they look similar.

Kepe in mind this is a youtube video, and youtube videos lie, and yet the difference is pretty clear to me.

The pre-ordering/pre-loading process wen't so smoothly on my aus psn account last night, i was actually thinking to myself how much sony have improved with this stuff... I wake up this morning ready to play and nope, normality restored and it's back to the classic psn experience.
