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

Osc89 on 06 October 2013

This had an effect on me lol. I pre-ordered the camera just in case it goes up in price (still haven't decided if I want it for launch or not yet).

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

http://www.ps4home.com/amazon-uk-increase-pre-order-price-by-53-49-due-to-increased-demand/

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 


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.

What I just said is the exact opposite of what you think I just said. Lol.  Stop trying sooooo hard. 

Kind of a silly remark, don't you think? I can't imagine anyone else on this website trying harder than you, evident by your negative posts in every PS related thread. So it's kinda childish to accuse someone else of trying hard, even if it were true. Maybe you should learn to correct yourself before you point your fingers elsewhere.

Yes I am real gamer I spend more money on gaming than u spend for rest of your life and if you got problem with that it's not my problem and I won't take it when someone saying they put price up because demand is high 

Really is this the level we have got to now, come on seriously. What is a *real gamer*. Some people are so entitled... 

Now just to bring this back to the orginal point you make. If every other website is still selling for £349 and Amazon are the only ones who have put the price up... then its probably one of a few things:

1. The price of the console is going to increase over what Sony said it would (very unlikely)

2. Sony have told them to put the price up... (very unlikely)

3. It's a pricing mistake. (possible but doesnt seem likely)

4. Amazon have put the price up because their is short supply, and they are moving everything to the new *bundles* rather than the just console (very possible)

5. Amazon want to make more money and bundles is the way to go (likely).

Don't understand why you have so much issue that Sony might be selling out of stock... who cares, its just a product. I suspect 4/5 are more likely to be the truth... don't see why not.

Ps - I bet I would give you a run for your money on spending on games... pretty sure you havent spent more on games than I have in my lifetime - I have spent *Alot* ;)

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!!


Yes I am real gamer I spend more money on gaming than u spend for rest of your life and if you got problem with that it's not my problem and I won't take it when someone saying they put price up because demand is high 

Ah i see, you're that kind of person. Well let me help you out of your grand illusion;

First you have no idea how much money i have or i spend on gaming so keep your foolish assumptions to yourself. Second you have no idea what it is you are talking about as your analysis of the situation and the article are on the same level as that of a paparazzi blogger, cheap, non factual and without substance.

So kindly keep your bias and hate for Sony out of this thread and preferably the whole website.

is that you admitting you picked up on my post incorrectly, once you worked out what it actually meant.

thanks.

No problem man, knowing you, i had to point out that the point was quite silly. I'm glad you agree.

I used to be Sony supporter and I do still respect them they do make a great hardware the reason I won't support them anymore it's because of Sony supporters they act like they are the best and they know about everything

Eh? Looks like Amazon believes that future pre-order stock will be in the form of bundles.

Rather than take pre-orders at the non-bundle price and then go up later, like that other UK retailers they had an article about, Amazon seems to be going the more prudent route of raising the price before they take the order.

Er, well, actually, it's right there:

"PlayStation 4--Important Information
Please note: Sony has announced that there will be four PlayStation 4 console options available at launch. Customers will be contacted in the order in which they placed their PS4 pre-order and given a choice of the bundles based on availability. Please note, all customers who pre-ordered the console with Amazon.co.uk up to and including August 6 will be given an option to get a console for release day. Customers who pre-ordered from August 7 may receive their consoles after release date, but will get them before Christmas."

Ironic. You should take a hard look at yourself and what you're saying. You've posted in this thread multiple times now, and not only are you off topic, but you can't stop your generalization about the PS fanbase. I for one i'm glad that people like you DO NOT belong to the PS fanbase.

Anyways i've spent enough time on your senseless babble and i won't contribute to your derailing of the thread.

I'm not gonna waste my time someone acting  like a kid look at your signature (According to a new study; YouTube, Xbox.com, NeoGaf, N4G, VGChartz, IGN, GameSpot, GameStop, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Mainland Europe, Asia and The Middle East among countless others are experiencing a Tsunami of people in love with Sony's gamings offers ) wat kind of study was it ? Ur study ?

Not surprising. Amazon.com is doing the same thing on the Wii U Zelda bundle and on 3DS XL (though, the difference is smaller).
I`m pretty sure i already saw something alike before.

I guess it`s an Amazon thing.
