Lol EB games at pacific fair still has Xbox day one console left to sell , over half the allocation lol they have been sold out of ps4s for a couple months at least

MRMagoo1233834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

the funny thing is the EB near me has a bunch of them too, Xbone comes out a week before and they still havent sold out of the day one allocation, the ps4 on the other hand if you preorder now you get it in 2014 lol. I think most Australians have chosen the ps4.

OT i went in to pick up my fast pass today but they said they wont have them for a couple more days.

BitbyDeath3834d ago

Interestingly the facebook link states we can arrive at 22:00. Will have to ask about this.

B-radical3834d ago

Yes it's 9 oclock for the store i pre ordered from might ring to confirm

Big-Bruizzer3834d ago

I like the fast pass idea. Keeps us, that's paid in full, from having to wait for people that haven't. Hope they incorporate that here in America this week.

MRMagoo1233834d ago

yeh i hate standing in the line with the riff raff that havent pain in full yet lol /jk I have had mine console paid off for months now its just sucking at the mo tho with the wait

Usually at midnight launches they have everyone pay it off before midnight while they're waiting around. Then when midnight hits they just scan your reciept and hand you you're stuff. At least that's how they do it here in the US.

Will pick up next day went to BF4 launch had to resist knocking out this idiot mouthy prick in line.

AusRogo3834d ago

Do a skid bruhhhh!! Seriously what store was it though? Only midnight launches ive been to in Epping in Melbourne is full of wogs haha

urwifeminder3834d ago

Yeah he certainly did not have the most exciting vocabulary I had to stare at the ornate metal work near the store to get my mind of wanting to end him Shellharbour store.

psych3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

I went down today to get my fastpass thing, got told they aren't giving them out until Friday.

Edit: Just got off the phone with my local EB, now they're saying next week for the fastpasses and the open at 10pm thing was to let people finalize payments on their preorders.

MRMagoo1233834d ago

Yeh i talked to the manager at my local EB he says they havent got the passes and to expect them start of next week. I dont know why they emailed about them waaaaaay before they got them, i got my email at 12:11 this afternoon , got into the shop at 12:30 and said wheres my damn fast pass lol (they know me there i wasnt being obnoxious) the manager said they wont have em in till maybe start of the week could be later.

The system sounds good tho, they will have a line ready for everyone with a fast pass , then once those ppl have gotten their ps4s then they will start the line for the other ppl.

So, I'm really curious as to why North America can't get these collector's editions...

It feels like a real slap to the face, honestly.

Nodoze1705d ago

100% agreed. Non Astral Chain collectors edition (other two territories have one), no Daemon collector, no Luigi's mansion special edition....

FIRE HIM.

Neonridr1704d ago

seems like lately we haven't been getting much in the way of Collectors Editions meanwhile Europe and other parts of the world get to reap the rewards. At least the System is region free, so if you have a way of importing these without too much of a hit to the cost then you can do so easily.
