You would have had to pay shipping and waited even longer than normal.

Oh but I thought these were digital sales...?

Oh, I'm not sure if that deal was running on the Amazon PSN thingy - I think they just announced that (thus my surprise this morning). I thought the sale was on physical copies but I am not sure.

I pre-ordered my PS4 on June 11, and I still haven't seen a shipping confirmation...starting to stress out a bit on a Friday arrival.

If you were pre-ordering so early and wanted a guaranteed day one console, why didn't you just order a physically in the store? Just curious.

I didn't realize at the time it was one or the other.

I guessing it is going to be very hit or miss for Friday. Always hiccups for large launches like the PS4. Then we'll repeat it for the following week with the Xbone.

I think us in Calgary will probably get it shipped out tomorrow. Then it is up to Canada Post to get it to us for Friday.

For the areas that it takes 3 days to ship people started getting shipping notifications today.

There is a shipping time guide on the FS/BB website that explains it.

My Futureshop order was charged for Killzone...or maybe for Forza 5 or Ryse. I'm going to guess it was Killzone so I assume it should be shipping out tomorrow.

Again, for anyone that wants a cheap copy of Forza 5 please let me know!

I got nothing. My Best Buy status of my PS4 order is still 'preorder' and I haven't been charged. I imagine I will be one of the unlucky ones that will get theirs late as BB and Future shop aren't very good at this preorder thing.

On the other hand my Futureshop batch of preorderded games shows Killzone as 'scheduled for standard delivery' so maybe I will have a game and no system. Joy.

Something on the Futureshop forums:

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the feedback. I understand that you are anxious about your console pre-orders. It is a big deal to you and to us. In order to address your concerns there is nothing much that I can add to what it has already been communicated. All of our pre-orders are guaranteed, we did not take more preorders than the ones we could actually fulfill on our first batch of inventory. If you pre-ordered with us online or in-store your order will not be back-ordered.

In regards of the shipping, our team is working hard with our shipping partner to ensure that you receive your order on launch day. Measures are being taken to ensure that this is the case. Having said that, there are different factors that play that can affect delivery times such as weather, traffic, delivery location, etc.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Jorge

Sounds like the PS4 review embargo is up tomorrow at 7 am local time. Probably a flood of stuff from multiple websites in the morning.

Mediocre reviews for Killzone (8 from ign and 7 from Gamespot) and Knack completely bombed. This is why I'm not in a big hurry as launch games usually suck.

Agree that Knack seems to be getting bad scores, which is dissapointing, but I would not call scores of 7-8 for Killzone mediocre.
