Surely its more likely to get one than turning up at a store on release day hoping they are in stock?
Your right, but i wouldnt say Amazon is safer than other retailers.. (online that is)

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.
We don't even know what flipping month it is yet
I know that
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?
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.

Tuesday 19th November for USA
Friday 28th November for UK
Bet na!

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?I know that

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.

Pretty sure the Playstation was 1995?

Don't Amazon use Yodel though? sod trusting those cowboys with your new console.

Friday is risky because if I order to work and it doesn't come on that day, I won't be able to pick it up until the following week.
Amazon and home it is.
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.

It was '95 and the 29th of Sept that year was a Friday. Remember trading in a SNES for one (I know...but tbf both were great machines).
