check amazon on release date is your best bet, there is bound to cancellations for the ps4, thus making it available on amazon.com.
On the flip side, it's on their TV's. It works fantastic on there, I hope they never change. Never seen such an intuitive TV config.I'm also happy the XMB is dead. 7 years (8 if you had PSP) of having to deal with that clunky UI. PS4 feels like a brand new start!
Same, I had no intention of getting one at launch but I could not pass up that deal.
I dont think they tried to keep it "hush hush" it just got lost in the shuffle when Sony completely obliterated MS on their dumbass used game/always online policy. But yeah, I can see some people not being well informed about paying for online now and they may be disappointed with that, heck I know some casuals who still think the Xbox one wont play used games. Thankfully though ps+ offers value so its not too much of a sting having to pay now.
Um no, go back and watch it again. Sucks that we need a sub for MP now but I would have had plus regardless so it really doesn't matter to me personally. I blame all the MS idiots who payed for live all these years, Sony saw all the money that can be made and just couldn't leave it on the table next gen. Oh well, at least its not a complete screw job since plus offers great value and you wont get blocked out from other features/services if you dont have it. That being said.....Only one month away now!!!!
Is this a Dragon's Dogma sequel? I ask because it means I need to play Dragon's Dogma before Feb of next year or whenever this launches, lol.
Yeah I was shocked to find how some casuals are not up to speed on the next-gen news. I overheard a GS employee having to tell a customer that the Xbone was no longer enforcing DRM restrictions. The customer was surprised.
I, personally, blame it on Microsoft's absolutely piss poor marketing campaign for the Xbox One. From E3's "tell em everything negative about the xbox" to the total lack of PR and advertising about the positive changes and corrections that they made. They could have had a stranglehold on the console market with a strong system launch. Instead, they drove away legions of xbox 360 supporters with their crappy presentation on what the xbox "doesn't" do, and put the PS4 into a position to dominate the marketplace. Someone needs to go...
I agree that their marketing and PR was horrendous. While I see what you mean by their presentation saying what the XB1 "doesn't do," to them, it was more focused on what it was designed to do, but no one really liked what it was designed to do. Hence, all the backlash from the public and gamers, and the subsequent 180s by MS.
Immediately. At least for me,
From past experience, it should. If you don't see your GC balance change after the cancel, i recommend contacting them asap.
xbox one ads are already hitting the air way tons of them were on during nfl games yesterday. yes ps has ads out right now but all they say is playstation nothing with ps4 name in it. i can't wait for mid nov it's going to be great entertainment with both
each other.just grab some popcorn and enjoy.
Just like any common belief that is untrue or has changed, people pass it rumor around and then it is taken as truth; it's kind of like an urban legend. Even when it was proven to be untrue, a majority will still believe it. One urban legend that randomly just popped into my mind was the one about how Cass Elliot (from the Mamas and Papas) died from choking on a ham sandwich, which I found out wasn't true. It's hard to quell something when it is put out there, whether it is true, untrue, or switched from one to the other. It's really going to affect the Xbox One's sales for a while I think.
I don't think Pre-Orders are going to be available anymore with just a month away from release date. Someone had also said Amazon was going to be taking more pre-orders the first week of October and it never happened. With demand being very high its unlikely more units will be available.
I spoke with some manager friends at the store I worked at and can confirm at least part of this rumor. GameStop WILL be cancelling some console pre-orders and WILL be limiting one per household.
While that all makes sense from a business perspective, I would find it completely offputting that a retailer cancel existing pre-orders, especially now that you can't pre-order elsewhere. What about households that do have more than one console throughout the house (i.e., not ebay resellers)? And they should've told people that at the start so they could've pre-ordered one at different retailers to make sure they had enough at home on day one. Cancelling pre-orders with only one month left til release is bad PR, imo.
surely the number of people (non-resellers who have multiple day one brand new consoles in a single household) are such a tiny fraction of their preorders it's worth the risk of pissing them off to open it up to more people (although the PR risk may be higher the way the internet has been strangling stuff like this lately).
No its a whole different IP, supposed to be a co-op online game that's free to play.
Wow, great find! But no buy from me. That same bundle includes the camera in the European edition, making it a better value. If they included a camera here, I would've thought about it.
The internet is a swirling cesspool of hate (spoken from a thread on the internet). Typically someone with a good experience tells 3 people, but people with a bad experience tells 10. I'm starting to think that the multiple pre-orders were pretty high to chance this.
I agree.
It's bad but manageable PR. Game Stop will look like heroes to those that missed the pre-order window "IF" they cancel multiples bought by one person and make them available. Limiting purchases to one per household will ultimately lead to more merchandise sold per customer. WIN/WIN
Back with the Xbox 360 there was actually a way GameStop could tell you where you were in pre-order line. What happened was they got less than they thought they would so there was a portion of pre-orders that got dropped (mine included). It's not impossible. I don't think the system of any retailer has this programmed though and would be a report they would get closer to launch.
I'm assuming your "I'm going to make $40k scalping PS4s BALLIN" plan accounts for this, right? Did your dummy corporation hire a team of squatters to hit up every local store for you?
Everything is accounted for so if you make changes to your pre-order you'll "most likely" lose your place in line.
Is best buy even allowing for pre-orders in store? ... because by cancelling his pre-order and pre-orders being closed off... he couldn't re-pre-order. A friend of mine went in there last week and was told he couldn't, but he would have loved to have gotten into a queue
Like I said in my original post, if this is due to not having ENOUGH this is waaaaay better than saying "Sorry, you can't get yours because we ran out."
We shall see. I believe Game Stop would never admit to not having enough. They'd rather string you along until January to fill your pre-order.
Good timing. A friend was just complaining to me over lunch that he wished he'd preorded a PS4. I saw this come online, sent him the link and he pre-ordered the Killzone bundle. They have a COD: Ghosts bundle too, same price.
Best Buy has closed in-store pre-orders for the foreseeable future. Guillermo was talking about switching/upgrading his pre-order not cancelling it. Tell your friend to get on the call list at Toys R Us or Game Stop.
Yeah the answer you get depends on which Best Buy you talk to. I'm probably going to duck out of work at about 4pm (or maybe just take that Thursday entirely and monitor the line situation) and go from there. It's worth noting that my best buy informed me that if you have a preorder that you're guaranteed a launch day system.
Yes... but "upgrading" your system to a bundle is cancelling your existing pre-order and trying to pre-order a different bundle with a diferent sku. So he would not be able to "upgrade" to a bundle because the new bundle pre-order cannot be made.
