Well, I have tweeted Gamestop (where I pre-ordered from), and will see what they say, when they get back to me.

Will be interesting to see how they handle it, as if you switched bundles in store, you technically had 2 pre-orders, the original and the mega bundle.

You should tweet Shu if you can, looks like all mainland Europe is affected now.

It seems as though the PS4 mega bundle - you know, the one at the same price as the Xbox One, including Killzone Shadow Fall, an additional DualShock 4 and the PS4 Camera – has been delayed in some European territories, and will now release around two weeks later than the PS4′s release date of November 29th.

This is just hitting Neogaf now, but various countries reporting a 2 week delay for those getting the Killzone Mega Bundle.

Just finished a web chat with GAME. My order with them, which is for the bundle, is still on schedule for launch day.

Of course, this may change but I am a little more confident at least.

Surely if the UK are fine we will be too....

If they will actually "****s us, and wount even give a kiss before ****ing us", I really hope that Gamestop will honour switches to those who are on top of the list. No way I am waiting for 2 more weeks ffs.

Was the 8GB not meant to be 16*512 which was why it was hard to believe, it seems they're using 8x1GB.

The other side of the motherboard has the rest.

I suppose this potential delay might be down to killzone regionalisation issues. Hopefully this will not have an impact here or the UK

Ok got a response from Gamestop via Twitter:

@weseire I can give you the low down on this. Believe it or not, countries like Finland were always getting the Mega Bundle 2 weeks later.

GameStop Ireland &#8207 wrote: »

@weseire Its not really news, it just seems to be something the gaming journalists have picked up as fresh news for some reason.

GameStop Ireland &#8207 wrote: »

@weseire Our stores in Finland have explained to their customers over a month ago now that it will be mid Dec if they go for that bundle

Looks like we are good.

**EDIT**
Got another reply:

@weseire Maybe in Germany though it is brand new news for them. I know it is the exact same for Norway, Sweden and Denmark too.

USB Headsets Won't Work At Launch

But a patch will be released to fix that.

That is shockingly poor. Very important for FPS gamers.

It will work, just plug it into the Dualshock 4 via the 3.5mm jack using the supplied 4 pole TRRS cable.

You got to feel for the Germans, French, Danish, Spanish, Portuguese, Finnish and Danish though, well for a few seconds anyway :pac:

Anyone know of offers on buy 2 get 3 ps4 games or anything like that? I have my ps4 pre ordered in gamestop. Want to get Killzone anyway and maybe 2 other games as well so just looking for the best / cheapest option. Killzone is the only bundle available right? Is it too late to upgrade to that at this stage? Cheers.

There is an AC4 bundle on the go as well, when did you pre order your console, if Gamestop have not called you about upgrading you should go into the store and upgrade it you want the Killzone bundle. As regard the 3 for 2, the German and French Amazon sites are doing them, but I think it is only if you have a pre order with them.

Oh ok cool and thank you. I pre-ordered my console a couple of days before the cut off point for the first batch (Was it August?) Yeah maybe I should go in at the weekend and ask.

Xenji

Terrible quality, but it looks like hardly any lag on Killzone remote play.
