cambie bb has 100 unreserved ps4 for midnight launch

winson604 11-14-2013 12:38 PM

As stated in my earlier post, don't expect an email for shipping notification until at least today in the afternoon.

I literally just got my email confirming so. Preordered from BB. You guys should be getting an email soon I would think.

MarkyMark 11-14-2013 01:42 PM

Still waiting on my FS email, although i did get an email from them a couple hours ago saying that it will require a software update when I get it lol

DHP 1 11-14-2013 01:50 PM

^

i just recevied that 2 minutes ago as well

SkinnyPupp 11-14-2013 02:01 PM

Sure are a lot of unreserved units available now.. 100+ in various stores in Canada of all places :suspicious:

MarkyMark 11-14-2013 02:05 PM

Yeah it'll be great knowing if I don't get my preorder right away it was because they sent them all to the stores lol

rk604 11-14-2013 02:13 PM

Someone posted on RFD saying that there's about 4 stores that has 150+ units

MarkyMark 11-14-2013 02:32 PM

Just got my FS email saying it's been shipped :)

Sony says 0.4% of their consoles are faulty, although probably 90% of people buying one haven't gotten it yet.. not sure where they get that number from

shenmecar 11-14-2013 02:38 PM

Just got my shipping notification from Best Buy!

kingdrew 11-14-2013 02:42 PM

bestbuy order was shipped! now waiting for my fs order and another bestbuy one

ForbiddenX 11-14-2013 03:22 PM

Still no shipping notification from either :(

TPMarko 11-14-2013 03:28 PM

still no shipping and no billing either. called FS a total of 4 times and even gave 2 different cc numbers from monday to wednesday. i think they dropped the ball with my order.

kingdrew 11-14-2013 03:41 PM

Hi everyone,



A quick update. I have been informed that the shipping notification and tracking information are not updated in real time. So, if you haven't received a notification or your status has not changed, does not mean that your order/shipping is at a standstill. Things are really happening behind the scenes!



Hope this helps!

six sigma scale :fuckthatshit:

can someone briefly explain a company's reasoning behind the pre-order model ?

I understand small companies with limited resources, but I mean a big company like Sony or Microsoft obviously don't have problems getting their products out there anywhere anytime in the world, so then why do they put us through this pre order process like it's absolutely mandatory ?

dub.g 11-14-2013 04:48 PM

^ because no matter how big the company is and how many people you hire to do labour assembling these consoles/products, they can only produce so much supply.. especially when their providing the entire north america

that or they purprosely holding off supply to create more demand which is what conspiracy theorist thought of when the Wii was on limited run for almost 2 years after it came out..

anyone else going to an EB store to pick up their pre order console tonight? im going to richmond center

HonestTea 11-14-2013 04:49 PM

NOTHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

No shipping, no email, just that generic email about software updates..

dub.g 11-14-2013 05:00 PM

A Problem With Our First PS4 - YouTube

just watch how he plugs in the hdmi cable. bent / missing pins and metal, wouldn't be surprised.

SkinnyPupp 11-14-2013 05:28 PM

Sony definitely slacked on the build quality of these things

You plug your cables in differently than that?

I wasn't listening but based on how it looked, it looked like he was demonstrating what a piece of shit the port on the second unit was... it looks like a cheap port you'd see on a ZhuGuoHao blu-ray player from china :fuckthatshit:
