Hope this is allowed. We all know stock is going to be super limited and sell out fast so I thought it would be wise to coordinate our efforts, see which retailers still have stock etc.

Who did everyone pre-order the PS4 with? I went with Amazon and had no issues so will probably do the same again.

 

[Arun1910]

I went with ShopTo, generally good with deliveries and use DPD as their courier who i personally find to be one of the best.

Will probably go for ShopTo again. I'm sure John Lewis will have some too.

pre ordered games from here before but never a console, they are usually great for pre orders out of 6 games i’ve pre ordered from there i’ve had 4 come 1-2 days before release xD

 

[Kupfer]

Oh nice, same thing for Germany would be great.
Went with Amazon France for my Ps4 Killzone Bundle and everything went fine, but I'm not buying from Amazon no more, so I need a good alternative.

ShopTo are my fallback plan!

 

[Rob_27]

Nice one, easy to follow and check links.

 

[Calverz]

I pre ordered the switch from amazon 3 days from launch. And got it on launch. Also got ps4 pro, xb1x from amazon. All delivered on launch day. Il stick with them.

 

[FunkMiller]

Amazon will a) have the most units in stock and b) be the most reliable for customer service.

 

[Night.Ninja]

I want that £399 digital edition

Yeah, maybe OP could change the topic to "EUROPE: PS5 Pre-Order watch" and we could include the big markets
FR, UK, DE

 

[UltimateUnknown]

Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of price reveal today according to one of the retailers?

Is that still true?

 

[Hostile_18]

Disc version for me. Not for games but 4k movies. Will be able to take out my stand alone player.

Oh and the long shot dream the disc version will play PS1-3 games

 

[DrDamn]

I went ShopTo last time and ordered the KZSF pack with an extra controller. There was some confusion amongst retailers about how that should be priced. They didn't reduce the price of that package in line with other retailers once the RRP was updated though. Didn't use them for anything else this gen at all because of that.

Yep, this is the truth. Same here.

That's the version I got. Hoping there will be a similar edition this time, although with the two console SKUs maybe that's unlikely.

I'll be getting the Console, an extra controller and the duel controller stand/charger. I'd love extra memory day 1 but doubt that is going to happen.

Hopefully. Will be American time from Sony so later this afternoon/early evening.

Either way I think were days away.. fingers crossed!

Having the extra controller has been great this gen - particularly with how long PS4 pads last - I'll go extra controller, PS5 digital edition and if reasonable a Pulse 3D headset.

It's just handy swapping one controller out when the battery dies with the other, and the odd times I play local coop.

My original PS4 controller only holds charge about an hour and a half now. Luckily I got the Pro day one and also a snazzy purple controller.

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

I've registered my interest with Very but only because I have a credit account there. If I can get it from Amazon I probably will. Fingers crossed.

Who even knows at this point. The date is relevant due to it being 25 years of PlayStation in the US. I'm hoping that we will get something today.

 

[Birdo]

Shopto have never let me down.

Free next day delivery with DPD. Can't get better than that.

 

[FUBARx89]

Alreay registered my intrest with shopto months ago, used them for my very late ps4 pre order and they didn't let me down.

Pffft, the Game "leak" is just the Reddit & 4chan leaks, so it's most likely just a case of an employee taking them as fact since store staff run the individual accounts.

Yeah I submitted my preorder with Shopto on the 24th Jan, hopefully that will get me near the front of the queue. They have never let me down with a console on launch day.

 

[MrS]

Amazon will a) have the most units in stock and b) be the most reliable for customer service.

C) be the most unreliable when it comes to delivery

Registered interest with game in January and hope they’ll prioritise those who did that earliest just like they did last gen.

Game a UK retailer leaked it, quite a few outlets picked it up.

Might be just a rogue Game employee however lol. But I guess Sony would let retailers know an announcement was incoming so they could update store pages.

Telling you, don't get your hopes up. The game leak is just parroting 4chan and reddit leaks. Sony themselves have already said its psvr week and not to expect PS5 news (again)

Sony would inform Game head office, not Derrick in Guildford game and doesn't Sony usually announce stuff at 8pm our time? Not 3.

Yeah this year has taught me to be very pessimistic with any leaks. Even if it dosnt happen today it can't be much longer .

 

[V4skunk]

Switch is going to sell out, not PS5 or Xbox.

That post is going to age very poorly as far as the PS5 is concerned

Hell didnt the PS4 sell out for a while? The Gamers Edition definitely did.

I agree. Don't get your hopes up. This is an old leak, and Sony themselves have disconfirmed it. They said there's going to be no announcements about PS5 this week.

I'm thinking that, with the Xbox price announcements, we'll hear something from them next week -- although maybe they'll wait longer, until MS definitely confirms the XSX price? I dunno.

Just tell me what it costs and I'll pay it.

 

[FUBARx89]

The switch sold out for a while for AC NH didn't it?

Seems abit console fanboy-ish to actually care about systems selling out.

I care in the sense that I want a PS5 this year.

Microsoft has revealed its pricing just now by the way.

X Box Series X $499 (£450 UK). Pre-orders start September 22nd.

Sony we are waiting on you

 

[JimiNutz]

I'm hoping to get two of these at launch (one for girlfriend).

I think that's probably wishful thinking though as I'm expecting them to have very limited supply. I usually order my consoles from Amazon or GAME.

I don't think it will be that hard if you order from two different places at roughly the same time. If Sony do like Microsoft are you'll have advance warning on the day pre-orders open.

 

[CouzinD]

Man, it’s all moving along now.

Odds on Sony coming out and blowing us away with £399 and £299 for the two SKUs?

I think with the value Xbox are bundling in with Gamepass etc, £399 for the PS5 is a must to keep their PS4 momentum going.

£399 for the digital edition probably. It's hard to put a price on Sonys established IP's therefore you cant really compare the consoles price wise like for like.

Cost wise I'm sure the extra features on the controller, sound and SSD make it as equally costly or more so than the X Box Series X.

 

[FUBARx89]

£450 for the series x huh, even more expensive than the Ps3 and xbox one at launch. I remember people balking at the ps3 and one launch prices.

Least this so called game of chicken over the price might finally end, still wouldn't expect a price today

8 minutes to find out if the Game tweet had any validity. Curious timing on Microsoft's behalf.

No PS4 did not sell out at launch, try harder.

PlayStation 4 'starting to sell out'

Sony's PlayStation 4 is launched in the UK two weeks after its debut in the US and is already "starting to sell out".

PS4 Sold Out Through Christmas; Videos Show Customers Going Crazy Over PS4 Launch

The PlayStation 4 launched today over in Europe. The fourth generation game console from Sony is now available in PAL territories, and has already managed to sell out. Not only did the console sell out but every customer going into stores to pick up the console acted as if it were the last unit...

To be fair the PS3 launch was ~14 years ago. I mean £425 then was probably the equivalent of around £600 in 2020.

It was very expensive, but the good side of that was it priced out a lot of the idiots and the online community was a joy in the early days.

 

[FUBARx89]

To be fair, at launch all editions where like golddust. A workmate was trying to find one for his kids fir christmas and he couldn't get one anywhere

Don't get me wrong, I paid that and more for one launch day inc resistance fall of man and motorsport, even got casino royale as a free blu ray off sony for buying one ha.

Just remembering people kicking off about it.

It was the lack of kids screaming down headsets that made it a joy and the fact barely anyone had a headset.

I got the exact same things for launch, I remember thinking that Casio Royale looked so good and played the shit out of Resistance and Motorstorm, also super rub 'a' dub I remember a lot of my friends shied away from the PS3 due to the price and opted for 360s instead. They eventually came back with their tales between their legs when their Xboxs broke and Sony got the price sorted.

Haha it's so bad that's going to be the first pre-order I wonder if it will disperse the heat any better!
