Chookes 965 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 So I want to preorder sooner rather than later before my wife realises she gave me permission and says no and we have to go on holiday instead with the money which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world because I'd probably get some good action and she would be in a bikini but on topic I have no idea where to go to preorder. Game have a huge message saying you can't be guaranteed a console if you preordered after August 6th. So if I go with them could I be waiting until Christmas or January or 2016? What are smaller shops like? Can I walk in to a supermarket at midnight and get one? I'm seriously confuzzled. I might just go with Game/Amazon and be patient but I lack patience. Someone tell me where to go and preorder the stupid thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tronic44 3,640 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I haven't not sure if i can offered it as i'm saving at the moment for a new place. Will definitely get one but will probably have to save for a few months on top of what i'm already saving......or i'll just buy one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbers Crack 4,052 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Supermarkets down here are doing pre-orders with loyalty card bonus points - that'll keep your missus happy! Don't know if I'll bother with a PS4 before Christmas if at all Thanks to Capn_Underpants for the artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberwarrior 373 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Not in a position to be able to pre order or even get one within the first 6 months of release to be honest. But, if you are looking to pre order using the supermarkets might not be a bad idea, like Dave says they're giving loyalty points with them which you may be able to use towards a game.

Madjonny 386 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I preordered from GAME... And I believe GAME were 1 of the last to issue that warning that you may not get a PS4 on release if you preordered after a certain date... Your best bet is probably tesco or other supermarkets tbh... Or a small independent game shop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deterioration 443 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm waiting until after Christmas or tax return time to decide if I should buy it. Also might wait longer until the game catalog beefs up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberninja2601 1,105 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I know that best buy here in Canada is guaranteeing it will be there on release day if you purchase before the 13th of September. I have too many PC games so I'm not going to. I might in the new year. I am also waiting to hear the reviews for BF4, Ghost and the PS4 before I make any purchase. I think that EBgames (same as Gamestop here) where also guaranteeing but I haven't keep track that much. I haven't checked with the SONY store.

wapntake 23 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 can't see me getting one in the near future unless i get a large injection of cash, i would need two machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen11 51 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I think the August 6th cut off is being used by most shops. My delivery date is going to be 16th December because I preordered late too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chookes 965 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Where did you preorder Sean? Are supermarkets not allowing pre-ordering yet? Sainsburys doesn't let you pre-order online, had to register for an alert on when it's available... https://www.sainsburysentertainment.co.uk/en/Games/PS4/PlayStation-4-PS4-Console/product.html?product=E11247010# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO7H B4RRELS 2,450 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I pre-ordered Ghosts in Hell, I mean, Gamestop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chookes 965 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Are you expecting it at launch?I think I'm going to preorder at Game today and be patient, there's a wait everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chookes 965 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Preordered from Game, no idea when I'll get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO7H B4RRELS 2,450 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I would sure as hell hope I get it at launch, otherwise I'll be pissed. That's why I pre-ordered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chookes 965 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 I know I won't, I just want it in December. You're now preordering to get on a waiting list, it sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen11 51 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I preordered from Very.co.uk which means I have a year to pay it. They phoned me up and told me my latest delivery date. It may come before but definitely no later than the 16th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chookes 965 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Game cancelled my preorder, either because my payment was rejected or because its unavailable. Not impressed, will go in store to preorder, might try Sainburys first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chookes 965 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Right, preordered at my nearest Game store. Stupid email doesn't technically exactly why my order was cancelled so better to speak to someone who has a face. Says I'm unlikely to get one at launch (I already knew this) but said I'd have it within a couple of weeks of launch. If that's true, I'd be chuffed.

L_C_Scipio 395 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Ordered mine at Wal-Mart because they have a payment plan. I'm getting it launch day. I've read articles saying that Sony is holding back units so they'll have them available throughout the holiday season (in the US, at least).

cyberninja2601 1,105 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 They probably want to cause a shortage to create buzz much like the WII did many many years ago. When you have pre-orders there really isn't much of a reason not to have the units on hand. They knew a lot of people would want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
