Re: PS4 pre-order

Shopto seem to be very confidant of now fulfilling all preorders even if preordering now they are saying release day ....

It's a sneaky tactic that.
If they sell 1 more PS3 because of this, it will cover the £5 refund for 80 customers. So chances are they will sell more than 1 more, and will make a tidy profit off of it even if they don't deliver on release day.

Re: PS4 pre-order

Thing is they won't charge you anything until they have the console in stock and ready to be dispatched, all you have to do is preorder and if they fail to deliver it to you by the 29th then you get £5 credited to your account.

you do know they have to buy the console to sell it on right?

they don't make £400 profit on each one......

Re: PS4 pre-order

I see that the PS4 has increased in price to around £400 area at different places. I pre ordered mine at Argos many months ago, will I have to pay the increased price or the price when I popped in?

Re: PS4 pre-order

Its only £400 if bought with either killzone or watchdogs as a pack otherwise its still £350 for the console alone.

Re: PS4 pre-order

I'd say, the retailers are now gearing up for only offering bundles with a game, hence the reason everything seems to be starting at £400.

Wonder if that bundled game is physical or a code to download it?

Re: PS4 pre-order

It is strange like, by the sounds of it. The people on here who have bought more than 1 unit may get quit a bit profit selling the others on with all this shortage

sure hope Argos is still doing it at £349 all I'm not after a bundle really at the minute

Did you pay up front Gedi? Pretty sure they can't increase the price they quoted originally

Re: PS4 pre-order

PS4 pre-order prices have been inflated by online retailer Simply Games.

Despite originally advertising the PS4 to pre-order customers for £349, Simply Games has informed users that they must now pay at least £415 to secure a console at launch.

"Thanks for bearing with us with whilst we finalised stock configurations with
Sony
," reads a Simply Games statement.

"We have now completed this process and as mentioned last week the pack configurations that we will actually be receiving DO differ slightly from the selection you originally made."

Customers are encouraged to upgrade their orders to guarantee a console at launch.

Simply Games told
MCV
that this was a retailer-led initiative, and that the bundles have generally been well received.

"We can confirm that ours is largely a retailer-led initiative and on site we have listed a combination of Sony bundles and our own PS4 bundle offers.

"By and large these offers have been very well received, to the point at which our launch allocation has now all been sold through."

Sony, meanwhile, said that bundles have been announced to give customers more choice, but are not mandatory.

"We value our consumers and offered the bundles precisely to give them choice and value. And the key word there is choice," reads a Sony statement.

"We have not nor would we ever force people to buy one of these instead. Sony is not and would not force anyone to buy something they don't want."

sony announced the 4 official bundles today, the normal pack for £349, the one with killzone for £399, one with watchdogs for £399 or the mega bundle for £449, although its a load of b****cks, as they are the same price as buying individually for the 2 with the games!!!

Shop to are a good company, although GameStop is advertising a pre order for £329 including delivery.

I'm dubious about gamestop delivering one of those at that price, they are the only company offering one for under rrp

Re: PS4 pre-order

I assume it'll be impossible to pre-order one of these for release day delivery now?

Re: PS4 pre-order

I wonder when the second batch will be released, as it were. I'm not bothered about having it on launch day but I'm giving my PS3 away at Christmas so wouldn't mind by then!

Re: PS4 pre-order

Got an email from Amazon today saying because I was one of the first people to pre-order (even though I only did so last week lol?) I can choose to upgrade my order to a bundle, as I've only got the console on pre-order atm. I'm not sure though, I wanna see some reviews before I commit to buying a game.
 
Re: PS4 pre-order

Is everywhere still guaranteeing day one release for new preorders?

I've preordered both consoles, but decided I'll only keep the Xbox One.

Is it worth selling the £20 pre-order slip I have for the PS4?

Re: PS4 pre-order

Game told me I'd be getting the second batch and I Pre ordered about a month ago.

Some places (shop to, I believe) are saying they will be delivered on release day apparently.

Re: PS4 pre-order

Pre-ordered the console alone via Amazon who assured me it'd be second batch release and here in time for christmas, which is good as it's a present off the folks :)

Just need to buy a game or two, and a decent set of headphones :)

Re: PS4 pre-order

When did you order from Amazon mate? I only did so last week and haven't been told when it's coming... don't care about getting it on release day (which I know I won't) but before Christmas would be nice!

Pre-ordered today mate. Asked Amazon CS on a few seperate occasions if pre-Christmas delivery was guaranteed and they assured me it was.

Thinking KillZone and BF4 are the games to get. What's everyone else ordered / ordering?

Re: PS4 pre-order

Oh that's good hopefully be the same for me then :) I'm not ordering a game until I've seen some reviews... it's a shame both Watch Dogs and Drive Club are now both put back until 2014.
 
Re: PS4 pre-order

i had the same email off amazon and i only pre ordered with them at the start of september, i upgraded mine to the battlefield and killzone package for £430 and thats getting it on release day. sorted
 
Re: PS4 pre-order

Ordered BT4 and NFS to go with KZ that comes in the Mega Bundle. Plus my son can take Fifa 14 back to Game and trade in for the PS4 version if he has enough pocket money
