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.

Woow I love the fact people saying price been increased due to high demand but amazon dosent say that I do love Sony loyalities even their website making up a news good for Sony 

And you call yourself a real gamer? What comedy!

Have you even read the article? What is the purpose of your comment if not to start a flamewar? Leave the thread silently if you have no interest and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

On a more serious note;

I just saw this as i was ordering something from Amazon.co.uk (Madonna's MDNA Bluray should you want to know lol)

It's clearly sold out now. And they do DO this as i've seen it happen with a lot of other sold out items. I'm not sure how they get away with it though!!

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

Why would anyone buy that when you can go to any other online retailer and buy it for £349 or walk into any store and order it for £349.

Do Amazon think ps4 buyers are stupid?


What does a retailer hiking the prices up has to do with the level of intelligence of the customers? How did you even arrive at such an outlandish conslusion!!?

Are you just mirroring your own strong bias about the fanbase? Because it would surprise no one if you were.

Amazon UK is probably the most popular online retailer that Europeans outside of UK use. I'm not sure if others even ship to other countries?

Why every time Sony supporters for anythin about ps4 sales they bring up amazon and amazon it's not only website they selling consoles

Thats crazy, but the people will still pay. I'm surprised its not sold out worldwide yet.



All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

Still ? Why?

exchange rate doesn't really warrant it now does it?

Because they can.

If it is sold out now looks like it worked out for them too.

Amazon would only raise the price if they thought they could get away with it, thus demand must be very high. If you would only take one second to think about the matter between your very apparent sony hate, you would get that.

OT Quite dickish and if what Kowenicki said is true also rather stupid move, let's see how it works out. My guess would be that they'll lower the price again very soon.
