Happenstance Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Anyone know what Zavvi are like for preorders and getting stuff to your for day of release?
S.C.G Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Anyone know what Zavvi are like for preorders and getting stuff to your for day of release? I pre-ordered a box-set with them - due to be released on a Monday - I got it on release day at around 8:30am so going by that I'd say there's a good chance they'd come through on launch.

Just wondering as my Lego Marvel preorder was with them but they seem to have been so confused on the actual release date that im wondering if it will turn up. Their store says it comes out Friday but my accounts page says the 14th so ive gotten 3 or 4 emails from them apologising for not sending it out to me yet.
Cookyman Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 PS4 system update to 1.51 is out here. If your replacing the hard drive (like me) download this one instead here. Price Drops for PS4 Launch Games Potential consumers of the PS4 may have been put off buying the console if they'd caught sight of the high prices - compared with the same products on Xbone One of launch titles but apparently sanity has prevailed. Major titles such as FIFA 14, Battlefield 4 and Assassin's Creed 4 were being priced for some reason at up to £8 more on PS4 than Xbox One until Sony exerted some muscle. Not that this is making games pricing the good side of sane... Assassin's Creed 4 is now £54.99 on PSN and Xbox One. FIFA 14, Battlefield 4, Madden NFL 25, NBA Live 14 and Need for Speed: Rivals are all £54.99 on PSN. Sony has issued a statement to Eurogamer stating, "Although PS4 launches in Europe on the 29th November, we have switched on the European PSN early to test and make sure that features and functionality are fully operational for launch," Sony told Eurogamer. "However, as PS4 and PSN have not yet officially launched in this region, nothing on the PSN is final, including pricing on the store. You will continue to see some prices adjusted over the next few days in preparation for launch on Friday." 2 days to go!

bryanee Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Battlefield and Need for Speed have been sent. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON.
Cookyman Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Battlefield and Need for Speed have been sent. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON. Exactly the same for me and of course killzone will arrive with PS4 on Friday.
S.C.G Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Hmmm... I would advise everyone who has ordered with ShopTo to check their inbox because, I just got an e-mail from DPD confirming that my PS4 will be being delivered on 28/11/13 so it seems that at least some - if not all - of the consoles have been passed on to the courier a day early by ShopTo! I'll keep you updated if I get any more info but for now it would seem likely that I will be receiving my PS4 tomorrow with any luck.

Delivery tomorrow. I doubt I will get it though, it's probably a mistake. Although fingers crossed!
Happenstance Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Thankfully I haven't got one of those. I'm not in tomorrow so wouldn't be able to accept the delivery.
MadDog Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 I got an email at 9:42 this morning saying it had been dispatched. The tracking number isn't working though, so could possibly be tomorrow for me?
Cookyman Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Just checked and yes I do have the email too received at 2254hrs tonight. I doubt we'd get them early until I read this on the Playstation forums: Re: Anyone asked ShopTo how they are handling the ps4 launch? I pre ordered my PS3 slim and Xbox 360s with Shopto and not had any issues. the 360s was delivered with TNT and was shipped as soon as stock arrived with Shopto and arrived with me 2 days before official UK launch day. My ps3 slim arrived 1 day before official launch and was delivered with DPD. My vita arrived 2 days before launch but that came with 2 games and starter pack as one consignment via DPD so all has been good with Shopto. To be honest I can't see the PS4 being any different, orders will be processed once stock arrives and be dispatched once your order is put together and ready for dispatch and by the day of release or before. Make of that what you will................
ReZourceman Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Damn, you luck souls. Mine will come on launch hopefully. It's DPD though, so you can never be sure. Your order has been packed and will be dispatched via DPD on Thursday 28th November for delivery on Friday 29th November (UK mainland only, delivery to other locations may vary).
S.C.G Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 I had 'the text' this morning at 7:01am saying that it will be delivered today. So until then...
Charlie Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Damn, you luck souls. Mine will come on launch hopefully. It's DPD though, so you can never be sure. I think DPD are brilliant. Text you day before to tell you to give you the option to delivery to neighbour or anohter day. Day of delivery they text you to give you an estimated time and you can track where the van is and where you are on list of deliveries.

Jimbob Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 GAME sold a PS4 today to a consumer, he came in saying he's unable to pick it up between today and Sunday (usually, you've got 48 hours to pick up an order) which would have meant his order would have been easy pickings for another potential customer. Kinda wish i had my reciepts with me, could have lied and picked it up today myself. Oh well. My copy of NBA is on it's way though, Shopto gave me the dispatch notice this morning. Lucky i changed my bank details last night, otherwise i'd be fucked.
S.C.G Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Actually properly dispatched now as of !4:12 today.
Murr Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Greatness awaits? Greatness can arrive all over my face if I get a PS4 from Tesco tonight.... here's hoping. Going by after work to check the queue scenario and find out how many they are selling to none pre-order customers. Then i'll contemplate what time to start queuing.
Cookyman Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Seems like a sensible idea.... Sony deactivating some PSN features for the UK’s PS4 launchSony has announced it will be deactivating some PSN features for the UK’s PS4 launch, “to make sure that your online experience is positive”. Basically half the civilised world will be logging in at around the same time and server fuses only go so big. Sony deactivating some PSN features for the UK’s PS4 launch The good news is that there are only two features being switched off: the What’s New feed and the Content Information screen. These are probably going to be the most busy as they relay social info on what you and your friends play and do – trophies won, games started and so on. Obviously trying to do that for all of Europe at once isn’t going to be fun for anyone, hence the decision from Sony, “to switch off a couple of features for European customers on day one”. Sony say that, “these features will then be switched back on a few days later, once the intensity of launch day calms down”. Nothing else will be affected so all the other online, trophy and multiplayer stuff will still work, as will video sharing and streaming. If my PS4 is dead on arrival I'll cry.... Sony is holding back UK PS4 stock to ensure broken consoles can be swiftly replaced Assures consumers that the failure rate of PS4 is "well within the region we see on PS3". Sony does not expect to see widespread failures of PS4 consoles at its UK launch, but is holding back a small volume of PS4 stock in order swiftly swap out dead on arrival units, SCE UK boss Fergal Gara has told Eurogamer. "I don't expect any major issues," assured Gara. "But obviously any gamer who's disappointed is a problem we take seriously. We are looking into causes of those low level problems - and there are certain learnings that have already been taken which means we can potentially further reduce that low level down to as close to zero as we can possibly get it. "But let's be clear: the failure rate on PS4 is well within the region we see on PS3, which is considered a pretty bullet-proof machine. There is no evidence there to cause panic either for us or for gamers having any lack of confidence in picking up a PS4." Regarding the stock of held back units, Gara added: "It's not a vast volume, because there's no evidence to suggest we need a vast volume to deal with that. But our consumer services helpline is there to support gamers and solve any problems that do emerge." 1 day to go! Edited November 28, 2013 by Cookyman
