I was able to pre order a PS4 but not an X Box One. I guess there were only 12 X Box One's available for pre order but 18 PS4's. Was anyone else successful? What did you get? Also Gamestop is saying that PS 4 controllers are going to be in short supply? Not sure if that is just a tactic or true. GoldenElementXL
2 xbox one's and I'll get two PS4's next year
Nothing. Why would I? I can just go into a shop on teh first day and buy one, but I won't because buying consoles at launch is stupid
Pre-ordered the PS4 and XBOX ONE from Best Buy. Can't wait to make hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars on the drones who want consoles day one.
What? The 360, PS3, Wii, and Wii U (for only a few days) were sold out for a while. Good luck on day 1 if that's your plan. Hopefully you live in some small town.Nothing. Why would I? I can just go into a shop on teh first day and buy one, but I won't because buying consoles at launch is stupid

I think RROD and PS3's poor launch titles has tainted buying consoles at launch for people
Probably, but consoles always have shit games at launch or a very low number of worthwhile titles and after you finish them you're stuck waiting for more

Yes I do. I have yet to come across something like this where it's sold out at every single retailer in the local area at once. So it's pointless to me to pre-order

I got a PS4 bundle from gamestop that included a controller and KZ4 for 520.00$. It only makes sense to get a bundle with the controller because it doesn't come with the core system

it doesn't come with a controller? wtf
Also a controller plus a game was an extra 120 dollars?

Yeah I think some people got burned thinking the Wii-U would be "easy money" for months after launch. LMAO.
No way on these two consoles..
Just got back from GS and it was a tough decision, but I went with PS4. Heil68
I'm sure it was a very tough choice :P
I am only getting the PS4 and I am not getting it until Christmas 2014 at the earliest and only if it can be had for $300. If not, then I will wait until it does drop to $300. I have 0 interest in ever buying a console day one for many reasons.
1. I pay full price for the system.
2. Small library of games that are all full price.
3. I always let them work the bugs out with the hardware.
4. Not many friends to play with online when I am online.
If I wait, I get...
1. A cheaper console.
2. Larger game selection with many no longer being full price.
3. Bug free system (within reason).
4. More friends own the system for me to play online with.
Â
With that said, I will never knock those of you that do. Because without you guy, the system would crash and burn. Then I would be PC only because I refuse to bother with the X1 or Wii U.

We'll see. People were buying Wii U pre-orders for double to triple the price of the console before it launched. MS released a statement saying that the pre-orders for the ONE have almost consumed their entire launch inventory so we could be seeing people paying big for the those pre-orders considering they are running out fast.

okay, that's what I thought. Â As every console since forever has come with at least one controller. Â Otherwise, that would be some extreme milkage

I just posted an OFFICIAL PDF from Sony. A DualShock 4 is listed as "included". You got ripped off.I pre-ordered both. Xbox One from MS website, and PS4 from Amazon.com.
I'm regretting the xbox one though, was an impulse purchase and thought I could cancel it later on but paypal already deducted the money.

Yeah because the day you buy your PS4, your PS3 suddenly doesn't work anymore for you to use to play those old games. :roll:One thing that is weird is the fact Best Buy is not letting me pre-order an additional XBOX ONE controller. I was able to do this with the PS4 though.
