PS4 PreOrders

I've been thinking pretty hard about getting onboard.

I was curious who all has alreayd jumped on this. Also, what if any games did you order.

I'm still on the fence though as I've not seen any launch title that I really want to have that much. I guess I could get the new COD because it has a dog I'll care about, but other than that I just don't know.

Anyhow, does anyone think this will go like it did with the ps3 and be short out of stock and hard to get after the preorders are gone? Thats one of the reasons I'm thinking about going ahead and getting in on it just so I'll have it when the games I want come out.

i ordered mine.

with the new killzone.

I pre-ordered a couple... one for me and one for a family member. No games, just a couple extra controllers.

Kind of weird as I've always owned an Xbox and been on XBL since day one, but this XBone crap has given me no choice but to leave them behind.

I think it will be tough to get on launch week, like it usually is with new consoles. Especially with the low cost and positive hype. I would get in a pre-order if you are serious about getting one.

Games won't sell out so I am waiting on those, probably right up until the week before launch.

I am getting 2-3 games on launch from the following titles, haven't quite decided which yet.

Killzone
Infamous
Driveclub
Battlefield 4
Watchdogs

I ordered the morning after Sony's E3 conference. I also ordered Need For Speed. Are there any bundles now available for order, or is it still just the individual console and games you can order?

My friend went to order his at EB Games today and he asked him if ordering meant he was guaranteed to get a system on release. He said the guy told him the Sony would fulfill all orders. Don't know how likely that is.

I've preordered 4. Only games I'm after at launch is Knack and Driveclub

I'm positive InFamous won't be available at launch (Q1 2014).
Thinking of pre-ordering as well.

Are Battlefield or Killzone any good, I see the Amazon pre orders not sure which to get.

As far as I know just the following are go for launch


Kanck
Drive club
Madden
Cod
Watch Dogs
Ass creed iv
nfs
battlefield
killzone
nba live

All in all not a bad start but just not much of the kind of stuff I play.

Gamestop seems to only have bundles for pre order.

I'm thinking maybe ordering from Walmart unless thats silly and I don't know it. Only because if there are awful launch issues or such that some consoles have had I feel like I would have a better shot at getting it taken care of than best buy or game stop. Also I want to order from something with a local outlet rather than through Amazon.

I'm debating if I want to do this or just get a new video card

If you don't want to buy from price gouging resellers, it's probably wise to make a preorder even if there's no killer app announced for it yet.

From that list, I would go with Killzone (need a good idea of what to expect this next gen), Battlefield 4, and Watch Dogs for me. I'm sure some of the F2P and indy games will fill the remaining void.

Got one with Watch Dogs and Just Dance( for the lady ) and a extra controller

Won't be pre-ordering, probably get one at some point next year once the software library is a bit more expansive and any initial hardware issues may have been sorted out. Maybe immigrating next year so no point in getting a PAL unit at launch anyway! :p

Preordered here. No games though since I'm all digital.

However, I am looking to purchase inFamous: Second Son if it's on PSN at launch.

Had one preordered on amazon for a couple days, but then I realized that there's both a new GTA and a new Batman Arkham game coming out in the couple months before the next gen consoles arrive. Add that to my already considerable backlog and I think I can wait a while to make the leap to next gen.

I have almost 10 preordered between Amazon and local gamestops. I hope to pick up a couple more preorders soonish.

Keep one for myself and flip the others.

what an asshole.

Someones gonna make bank.

Might as well be me.

I have the console preordered, but I haven't actually preordered any games yet. Not really sure what I want to go with. Perhaps Killzone/Drive Club/Need for Speed.

Drive Club is going to be free on PSN+ the first month the PS4 is out, but it seems there will be things missing from it. What those things are, have not been announced yet. If it's nothing major, I will likely get Watch Dogs instead.

I'd like a PS4...but I need to get a PS3 first!

If anyone want to sell their PS3 in anticipation of getting a PS4, I'll be in the market for one soon ;)

Prereserved.

Will probably get Watch Dogs with it.

And an extra controller.

Preordered with watch dawgs.

Yup. Scumbags will continue to be rewarded for being shitty human beings. Such is life.

Jesus Christ... why all the jumping on broken for flipping preorders? If people are willing to pay instead of doing the preorder or waiting in line themselves, what's the big deal?

OT: I have had a PS4 on preorder since the day after the E3 conference. I didn't think I was going to join the next generation, but Sony is too smart with their marketing.

Which do you think would be the better buy?

The M3 coupe

http://cache.bmwusa.com/image_8486d1...f-02f149ecf260


or the 550i xDrive?

http://cache.bmwusa.com/image_955d91...1-083323d84a4d




I am kinda leaning towards the M3. Seems sportier...but I do like the all wheel drive of the xDrive series...especially since we do see some snow here in Ohio.

honest question - are systems at launch really hard to come by...even during a holiday season?

Throughout the years I've bought many consoles at launch, and I never had a problem finding one. Notable exception would be the Wii I guess.

The reason I ask is because if people are looking to buy many consoles and sell at inflated prices...couldn't that backfire? Is there really going to be an opportunity to sell these for $$$ above retail?

I decided after the E3 announcements to pre-order one. I'm still thinking about games, but I'm leaning heavily towards Watchdogs and Drive Club. Knack looks interesting, but I want to see more first.

I love how he thinks the profit margins are going to be that large. It won't be hard to find a system. Feel free to drive the current vehicle you own into a tree, though.

Who cares? If you don't have enough money to buy one now, flipping a dozen PS4s isn't going to make a difference.

The Wii U was not difficult to come by, but it also was anywhere near as hyped up as the Wii was. That was the first launch console since perhaps the original Xbox that was still able to be obtained with relative ease within the first month of launch. I have no recollection of the Gamecube launch though.

The Xbox 360 I remember being somewhat scarce at launch. The PS3 on the other hand seemed to have a steady supply of systems showing up. I remember walking into Best Buy and seeing a huge pile of PS3's. The pricing wasn't exactly helping it to fly out the door.

The PS2 on the other hand had a major shortage here in the US as there were only 500,000 upon release in October 2000. I was able to snag one about 40 minutes away in January 2001. People were still having difficulties finding the console several months after launch.

The PS4 I don't know what to expect regarding the availability just yet as no numbers have been announced. Amazon is guaranteeing systems at launch assuming you got the preorder in early enough. It won't be the PS2 scenario again with only 500,000 systems.

There is always the Z4

http://cache.bmwusa.com/image_db6f48...4-19ef5081bda8


Bit less expensive, but still guaranteed to make the female panties drop.



I might need to bulk up on my PS4 and Xbox One preorders.

Well done.

Pre-ordered morning after the presser, had already pre-ordered XBox One earlier in the day. As for games, only have Assassin's Creed 4 pre-ordered, but am waiting to see what's officially going to be on the launch list before making anymore choices and Tokyo Game Show is coming pretty soon, looking to see what news comes out from there.

You should buy as many as you possibly can. What could go wrong?

The best thing about that gif is that it's the perfect response to any comment on the internet, no matter how legitimate or banal.

Well, ps3 was not easy to get here. If you preordered one, they were who preordered first and so on a lot of people lower on the list didn't get one. It took a while for the supplies to catch up here as I guess we are not the first place the big companies give a shit about stocking.

Okay so I decided to put in a preorder for the system and a controller. I'll wait a bit closer to launch to see a bit more about the games.

"Diablo series is better than Resident Evil?" -> http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...pse17b9d8a.gif

I'll get one when it has some games that I want to play. PS3 will keep me busy in the meantime.

yeah, it's totally cool to possibly deprive a kid with a kick-ass new toy on Christmas morning because his parents weren't as savvy as the e-vultures

I am leaning towards the Space Gray Metallic M3.

And the beauty of this is that every possible viewpoint that could be extrapolated from such a response is contained therein.

It could be a very sarcastic response in the vein of 'Cool story, bro.'

It could be a legitimate representation of casual enlightenment, sort of a 'Hey man, that's cool. I see what you're saying and can dig it.'

The possibilities are endless.

It may just be the best internet gif of all time.

Ask the gamestop clerk when you go back to return all the consoles that don't sell on ebay.

I only got a PS3 in the last 6-7 months so it's probably going to be a while before I get the 4 and XB1.
