Playstation 4 buying options

Options
Hi all,

I've been looking around for the best place to buy the Playstation 4. With any big purchase I like to do my homework and get the most out of it - so wondering if anybody has any advice on where to go?

Was looking at Amazon - they seemed to be offering good value bundles but after chatting to their customer service they seem to have discontinued these.

So thought maybe Tesco, considering I'll get a tonne of vouchers and clubcard points for such a big purchase.

Then thought about possibly buying through quidco - hopefully there's a store selling it that offers a 10% cashback or something like that..

So yeah, wondering if anybody has any input on this - Cheers!

    You might struggle now to get one on release day now if that's when you want it. Not sure who might be offering 10% or thereabouts with quidco though.

    They'll be in cash converters in January.
  • I would have to agree with ifstar. You will struggle to order one this side of Christmas. And I can't honestly see competitive prices this early in the generation. Prices won't start dropping/becoming competitive until around Easter.
    Knowledge is a tool, and like all tools, its impact is in the hands of the user.
  • Zavvi claim to have limited Day One stock, but they force you to buy a bundled game with it @ £394.99

    Quidco is only offering 2% on it (tracking at £7.90 for me)

    Halifax bank accounts are offering 10% cashback at play.com

    As mentioned you may stuggle to get one on day one.

    To be honest looking at the release game line up I would just wait and save a few quid.

  • The hardcore pack is such a rip off.
    When you compare it to the package I'm getting (ps4, 2 controllers, killzone, and camera for £429, plus free upgrade to PS4 COD) the above package is just dirty...

    I think we may have missed the boat with getting a pre order delivered at release. Anyone know anywhere still doing them?

    Nope, the bundle is all boxed together. i.e, the game is inside the sealed box.

    Take whatever you can get, or you will have to wait longer!
  • Any other places we can get day one deliveries?

    Do you think it's worth going to the local Game shop early in the morning?

    Nope. Im going at 9pm on the Thursday night, to queue til midnight, to ensure I get it nice and early, and I have it preordered... If you want it badly enough, you'll need to queue from 5pm maybe. Thats if they even have the stock.
    Tesco had one yesterday. Try them, or Asda, Sainsburys, Argos, etc. Or, buy it now on ebay. It'll cost you a little more, but they will only get more expensive over the next 9 days or so!
