Well they do it for everything, there's always a placeholder for games unannounced release dates for example. Unless it has been announced since I'm pretty sure it was mentioned nowhere in the conference. Nothing on wikipedia either.

I know that :rolleyes: but films/games etc are typically released on a set day in the week e.g. Friday. I can only assume that consoles follow the same trend?

EU launches:

PS1: 29/09/98 - Tuesday
PS2: 24/11/00 - Friday
PS3: 23/03/07 - Friday

Potential for a Friday release? :D

Ah, I didn't mean that. I just went with amazon because they were the first place to come up when I googled it. Probably would have went with ShopTo otherwise.

I feel they are a safe bet as well. Surely being the biggest retailer in the world they will get the highest allocation available. Plus their customer service is Amazing.
 
I imagine they will want to match the MS launch date as a minimum - I dont think they would want the Xbone to be out before the PS4 - people might be swayed into getting a Xbone if the wait is too long

Naah it will be a Tuesday, any thoughts what the weather might be? :D

Do you guys think Shopto will cancel my The Last Guardian pre-order if it does turn up on PS4? Its not that cheap a preorder (think £30) but be a nice bonus.

I do think we might see some more info at TGS for it

I won't order with ShopTo again, after the fiasco of the PS3 launch.

Essentially, I preordered on day 1 with courier delivery and ended up having to collect it from the TNT depot because they physically couldn't deliver all the consoles on launch day. I know that's a courier problem, but ShopTo were uninterested and arrogant when I complained.

Why I would only consider Amazon or the Supermarkets online. For console launches though brick and mortar still is best (might preoroder via a Supermarket, but preordering might be well too late for launch now), problem I have is, I value customer service if I have any issues, why I choose Amazon in the end.

Depends its a worldwide release or not.

US get their new games/consoles on a Tuesday.

UK usually gets their new games/consoles on a Friday.

Fair point, tbh more worried about issues after Ive got it than the delivery itself, its not like the current set didnt have major failures. Why I wouldnt go with GAME etc myself, they might not be around in a couple of years time...

Amazon seems to be a lottery for electronics. I've had items come in plain cardboard packaging with no bubble wrap/padding at all (damaged on arrival), and I've had monitors come in a box-in-box arrangement, with enough foam packing to safely send a terracotta army.

So I guess it's luck of the draw.
