UK PlayStation 4 preorders open now

Written on February 21, 2013 by Jay Garrett in Gaming

The PlayStation 4 has been announced by Sony, but there are no pricing details or exact release date beyond “Holiday 2013″ yet – I mean, we don’t even know what the console looks like! You can pre-order it in the UK though.

Just because we haven’t been given a UK release date, price or any hint about how the PlayStation 4 will look, there’s plenty of retailers out there listing it as available for pre-order already.

Game was the most eager to get a pre-order page out and live and managed it pretty much as the console was launched. That eagerness nearly caught Game out, however, as the retailer had forgot that important word “deposit” – so it did look as though they were selling the next-gen console for £20 – did anyone manage to jump on that?

Other UK retailers are inviting you to register your interest. Amazon.co.uk has an whole section dedicated to PS4 and some of the launch titles – DriveClub, Infamous Second Son, Killzone: Shadow Fall, The Witness and Knack – but only to sign up to be notified about when they might become available.

Are you going to sign up or are you waiting to see how the Xbox 720 compares?

Further desperation tactics from GAME: how could anyone have the confidence to preorder from them at all, let alone stump up the cash to do so, when they are cancelling preorders left right and centre for lots of other releases and other sites arent asking for a deposit? Sad to see they are a shadow of their former selves, rather get my preorder from a proper gaming retail site like ShopToNet then any of the big companies at the moment!

I’d rather wait til pre-orders appear on Sony’s site to be honest… £20 is not much to a lot of people but, as you’ve said, there are other less risky avenues to getting your place in the queue for a shiny new PS4

Forgot to mention, youre totally right that £20 isnt much to many people, especially if you intend to buy a £300+ console (probably!): just resent the fact they’ll use your money to bolster their profits before the actual console comes out and use it to buy other products, also think you’d be surprised how many people dont collect their paid preorders!

There’s more than a whiff of the ‘gym membership’ business model here… I think you may be right
