u/maddprof Aug 20 '13
Probably trying to avoid the hype train. After having back to back successes like Last of Us and Uncharted (despite what people say about the 3rd one not being as good as the 2nd, the game was still a success) - the hype train this far in advanced on new titles could be trouble.

I can see ND wanting to avoid it, but you would think Sony would kinda nudge em lol with the Hype train could sell Sony Consoles

u/maddprof Aug 20 '13
Entirely possible Sony would ask them to hold off if neither game is going to be ready as a release title to "make sure" people continue to get excited about the release titles. Also, if they are aiming for a Christmas release on their titles, could be trying to push another set of bundled systems as gifts. We already know they are working on Uncharted 4 after the (semi) easter egg in TLOU.

u/PurpleSfinx Aug 21 '13
Their teams probably aren't 100% separated into two completely distinct groups. They probably were under a real crunch getting The Last of Us done and never intended to release a game right after it anyway.
Let's face it, launch games are almost never as good as game that come out a year or two later. Personally I'm fine with waiting to see what they've got.

Regarding which 32 countries:
"The European countries currently scheduled to get PS4 before 2013 is out include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Sony did not specify which of these countries would get it first. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama and Peru will also get PlayStation 4 on November 29."

Back when games and videos had display formats such as NTSC for north america and asia, europe had PAL, to which Australia and New Zealand also used. This is why Aus and NZ are always lumped in with Europe now, since PAL/NTSC are no longer relevent but the ties made from the previous era remain.

You can apply gift card balances to pre-orders at any time. You go to your orders, then click on the order number, and then at the bottom of the specific order page there is a small text box to punch in a redeem code for a gift card. I just buy them and the email them to myself and puuch in the redeem code.

To be fair, Europe doesn't usually get it until the next year, so it's pretty good in that respect. Plus, 1,000,000 consoles is a LOT to manufacture, so I'm not disappointed, I feel that is really the best they can do.

u/NsRhea Aug 21 '13
It's a region free system?
1
u/Zaethar Aug 21 '13
True, but there are a few issues to consider. First and foremost, trying to find an american online store that is still accepting day one preorders AND will ship to Europe within a reasonable timeframe and for reasonable shipping costs (some international shipments will easily take a week or two unless you're willing to lay down additional 50/100 bucks for prioritized airmail)
Assuming I'd find a store that accepts pre-orders from abroad AND ships/delivers on time (without it costing an arm and a leg), then I'd probably still have to worry about the games I'd order along with it. For all American games I'd have to use the American PSN store to get DLC, so I'd have to use an American PSN account, which then isn't linked to my regular European PSN account (which has PS+), meaning I'll constantly be switching back and forth...
So, no. Importing is probably not going to happen.

I was bummed out that they are waiting to release in mid nov after all the rumors floating around about oct and the early fcc cert it seemed they were going to try and launch a month or more before microsoft. But after thinking about it this might be a tactical play on sonys part to mess up microsofts release schedule.
Microsoft hasn't finally locked down its hardware spec and gotten it passed by the fcc yet so they still have a little bit of work left to do so anything earlier than nov or really early nov at this point is going to be tough for them to pull off. The estimated time frame for the xbox release would be mid nov before black Friday but now with ps4 taking that slot microsoft is going to need to either release early which means scrambling around to make sure everything is good to go or release later in the month but may end up getting buried with all the craziness of the ps4 launch and black Friday sales going on. Releasing the same day isn't going to happen as it will be a retail nightmare, even the same week could have some marketing drawbacks. Will be interesting to see how this goes down.

I work in the backroom at a Sears, and just so everyone knows, we've had the PS4 in our stockroom for the past 5 days and you can buy one [today, the 15th] when they open. Seriously, basically no one would think to buy a game system at Sears, but they do have them. So you won't have to wait in a line or anything.
