TBH I would say GAME are the most reliable retailer.

Did they pre-order in store or online?

hahaha, no.

do you realize you can't call a branch? See stock status online? Get a reliable answer to when stock arrives in a branch?

Hamley's aside the post meltdown GAME is a complete joke.

So paying off my Amazon pre-order with email gift cards is still allowed right? That would be a legitimate way to pay for my console ahead of time, yes?

I'm gonna go pre-order the Vertical Stand on Monday and cancel it on Amazon. I'll buy Call of Duty: Ghosts as well.

And then PS4 awaits Friday :D

I also played Knack today. It was great and really gave me flashbacks of Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter and such. And it was super hard on Hard difficulty. Unfortunately the demo unit didn't have any other playable demos than Knack. :/

For those who have had ShopTo dispatch emails, how many digits is the tracking number?

They don't usually give you one at that point. When DPD receive the order they will send you an email and text with a link to the tracking page/number.

I went into my local GAME and was told that because I pre-ordered in June/July I would 100% get my console next week.

They didn't check any lists or anything so I really hope they're not just saying that.

Also they re-did their store and it looks pretty cool, one wall Playstation, one wall Xbox with everything else in the middle.

Yesterday at around 8pm



There is a 10 digit tracking number in my email. Doesn't work on DPD's site though (although I never expected it too)

Yer it won't work until DPD picks it up, Shopto has the dispatch stickers with the barcode on already, but it doesn't activate until DPD scan it.
 
Amazon UK support just told me that updating my delivery option/address will delay my order. Is this normal?! I wanted to change from Super saver delivery to Standard but if I do so I will be put at the back of the line according to him.

That's basically what the GAME store that I went to looked like. I actually like it.

Yes changing your order in any way will put your order to the back of the queue, don't do it.

Yep.
Even Latvian shops already have it. Amazon Germany, what's wrong with you...?

Well not exactly, they will have them shipped at 2. December and i do overpay a lot, that is if i dont do some shenanigans with a overseas company so i dont have to pay VAT.

Is there any significance to the fact that one of my orders at Amazon says "Not yet dispatched" (gamer pack) and the other one says "Pre-ordered" (solo console)?

Since when did Cex start having decent(ish) prices?

Went in there to sell a few games worth £33 cash and they had a brand new sealed Fifa 14 on PS4 for £45 which was less than the exchange value they offered for my games of £46 so I got that. Mind you the guy had to open the seal in front of me for some reason, but still much better than the £60 Game are asking for it.

Checked my GAME store and sure enough he went through the day one list and my name was there. I've now cancelled my Amazon pre-order and may head down there at midnight for shits and giggles. Bonus round: I'm able to pay off the balance on Wednesday to grease those wheels on release night.

That's really cool looking. But damn, I can't see any Wii U stuff in that pic. It really is dead over there isn't it?

Is anybody who are phase 1 for online orders, still waiting for GAME to take payment? they said I am definitely guaranteed both of my PS4's for launch. They said there was a delay in taking payment but it's out on friday.
 
Is it my inagination or does the price of my PS4/Killzone bundle keep changing? I could swear it was £379.99 a week or so ago. Now it's £384.99. Still a £15 saving, I guess.

Nah, it's always been £385 at most places. Apart from a few who are overcharging at £400.

Funny, I could swear we get dozens of calls everyday from customers asking about the PS4/Xbox in our store

They didn't check any lists or anything so I really hope they're not just saying that.

You will be fine. Anyone who preordered before August 5th is guaranteed one on launch day.

And our stores are looking nice. Much nicer to work in now
