Forums - Sales - Amazon UK Increased PS4 PreOrder By £53.49 Due To Increased Demand

BHR-3 on 06 October 2013

Amazon UK have just increased the pre-order price for the PS4 (see here). Does this suggest that stocks are starting to run dry? If you’re from the US, you’ll find it difficult to find a retailer that isn’t currently out of stock, check out our import ps4 article on how to use international retailers to guarantee a PS4. Whilst the console is already over £100 ($160) more than the USA retail price, international demand is increasing as USA retailers are currently out of stock. Does this suggest increased pre-orders from abroad? What ever the reason, if you haven’t already pre-ordered, the price is now much more for those wanting to pre-order from Amazon UK.

Before the increased price:

Ah... interesting fact about Amazon UK that maybe most people here dont know. Its usually cheaper to order something from amazon UK towards other contries than buying them on those home contries.

That means those pre-orders are not only from the UK but alot from the rest of europe. Its not surprising that they have alot of demand.

Yeah looks like its gone up, must be either an error or Amazon looking at making an extra buck. If you have already ordered its £349...

Perhaps they are doing some underhand thing where they go... oh buy a bundle its only £20 cheaper than the £404 or whatever it is.

Hopefully its just a typo...but somehow suspect shops are going to start taking advantage. :(

Its either that, and they know that people will pay for it, or its a site glitch? What other explanation can you give?

I think its pretty obvious at the moment that one of the consoles has far more pre-orders than the other, and it seems that in the UK the situation is the same as in the rest of the world

Frustrated much? :P
