So proably just being paranoid but the Xbox 1 on Bestbuy says day 1 edition in the title but my receipt for the PS4 just says PS4 console. Anyone else preorder from Bestbuy? Does anyone's receipt say day 1 edition?

That''s because Xbox One has a "day one edition" of the console that is branded as such (packaging, controller). The PS4 has no such version.

At Amazon, they put 'Launch Day Edition' on the PS4 preorder. I preordered at both Amazon and Best Buy, but cancelled my Best Buy because they have no way of telling you if you will definitely get one on day 1. Amazon says, "You will get a day one edition, and it will be shipped to you on launch day." So Amazon has their act together... Best Buy? Not so much.

Amazon listed the initial offerings of PS4's as "launch editions" meaning you were guaranteed a PS4 at launch.  The meanings are totally different.

"Day one Edition" Xbox One is a specially branded Xbox One available only at launch, sold everywhere (until sold out).

"Launch Edition" PS4 - through Amazon - is a guarantee of a PS4 on launch day.

I am going to pre order mine online, in peHi Kelly, You dont happen to have an account with Wells fargo do you? Sorryfor not getting to you yesterday I ended up whelping a litter of puppies. I had talked to my bank yesterday morning and they had said I could do the transfer from my computer, but I was unable to do it, apparently Ican only do it from my computer if you are with Wellsfargo. So I am going to have to go to the bank to do a wire transfer, I called this morning and they said 30 mins to 2 or 3 hours it would be in but I need your "Wire in" number from your bank, and make sure your account info is correct as they cannot do any refunds if it goes in wrong. I cant find your number to give you a call to get it. If youget it to me withink the next half hour I can run in now, otherwise I wont be able to run in until after 2, maybe 3. Been one of those weeks that you want to scream lol. ALso I looked at temps yesterday and seems its going to be hot, so probably have to go with the overnight flight to Greenbay. 715-203-5803 if you need to talk to me. Crystalrson might sound messy.

I think the opposite. In store you can ask questions and make sure you will get it day one.Online you don't know when they will actually ship it.

You don't know when the store will get their shipment(s) in either.

I remember being one of the first to preorder a PS3 from a local Gamestop and they didn't get their first shipment in until a few days after release.

I'd stick with getting one of the bundles from Amazon.

Heres my second live chat with BB confirming preorder launch day guarantee:

Me: Hello, I have a slight concern. I preordered a ps4 right after it became available for in store pickup, but have heard that at best buy the preorders are first come first serve and not guaranteed to be at the store at launch, is this true?

Rep: If you pre-order for an instore pickup there will be a system at the store for you. Though this does not ensure a place in line.

Me: so regardless of the amount of people before me, it is guaranteed to be there on launch day?

Rep: Yes!

 

Guess ill have to trust them...

Now you have me nervous, I just expected BB to have it launch day. Someone on this forumn has to work for BB or know someone that works there. Why can't the site be crystal clear on launch day or not, I guess b/c they don't know the actual date?

Just checked the BB cart and it says release day if you pick up in store. So we got that going for us.

So there's no alternate SKU?  No "elite" model? :?

Oh well.  I can't get one at launch even if I wanted to since I'm graduating college in Nov.  Probably going to be about 6 months before I can pick one up.
