Sony's PlayStation 4 is just over eight weeks from launch, so anticipation for PS4 games is quickly heating up. Today, Sony announced some Infamous Second Son pre-order bonuses for gamers interested in placing their order for the game before its 2014 release. Infamous: Second Son won't ship until early 2014, several months after the actual PS4 release date. Unless you're in Japan, that is. Still, knowing that the team at Sucker Punch Productions is elbows-deep into their PS4 devkits is enough to make one entertain … [Read more...]

Xbox One Day One Edition Pre Orders Still Available At…

PS4 Launch-Day Bundles Return to Amazon, No Xbox One
Gamers' opportunity to get a PlayStation 4 on the actual PS4 release date has opened up for a brief window, as Amazon has just begun selling a new batch of PS4 launch day bundles. The PS4 bundles on Amazon are identical to the units previously available. Just two weeks ago, Amazon's allotment of PS4 release date inventory was completely sold out. As was the case previously, the stand-alone PS4 launch day console is unavailable for pre-order, as those allotments sold out during E3. That means that, short of standing … [Read more...]

PS4 Launch Inventory to be Far Greater than Xbox One
Looks like you may want to get that Xbox One pre-order in after all.... In spite of comments from Sony executives that the company may not be able to fulfill all PlayStation 4 pre-orders or meet demand on the PS4 release date, it now appears that the Xbox One runs a greater risk of inventory shortage upon launch. Neither Sony nor Microsoft has officially commented on the quantities they have available to fulfill pre-orders, but recent comments from GameStop imply that the Xbox One temporarily selling out at Amazon last … [Read more...]
Sony: Not Enough PS4s on Launch Date to Meet Demand
Sony Computer Entertainment of America (SCEA) CEO Jack Tretton has indicated Sony won't likely be able to fulfill demand upon the PS4 launch date, meaning that if you haven't pre-ordered your PlayStation 4 yet, you may want to get your PS4 launch bundle at Amazon ASAP.

If it can't, gamers who wait to reserve their console run the risk of not receiving their PS4 until December, if at all this … [Read more...]
PS4 and Xbox One Pre-Orders Result in Amazon’s Biggest Week Ever
We've covered a lot of Amazon pre-order news in the past week, from the PS4 pre-orders on Amazon either sold out or selling out to the massive resurgence of Xbox One Amazon pre-orders following the so-called "Xbox One-80" announcement a few days ago in which Microsoft reversed its policies with regard to DRM, online check-ins every 24 hours and used games. Turns out there was a reason that sort of news consumed so much of our energy: the combined pre-orders for PS4 and Xbox One led to Amazon's biggest ever week for … [Read more...]
Xbox One Pre-Orders at Amazon Jump to Top Spot, Beating PS4 Pre-Orders
After the so-called "Xbox One-80" today in which Microsoft completely reversed its used-game policy, online check-in rules and DRM strategy for the Xbox One, the console manufacturer saw its Xbox One pre-orders race to the top spot in the Amazon.com battle, beating out the PS4 for Amazon's top pre-ordered console. Before today's reversal of Xbox One policies, Sony had been enjoying far brisker sales of its PS4 -- to the point that the only way to get a PS4 at launch is now to pre-order a PS4 launch bundle. Perhaps … [Read more...]
