Forums - Sony - Sony Has Removed The Street Dates From All Of Their PS4 Launch Software

GameStop has been full of surprises recently. PlayStation 4 accessories are flying off the shelves weeks before the console hits the market. Not to mention the fact that Killzone Shadow Fall, a PlayStation 4 launch title is now available for purchase. Add the fact that there’s also several third party chat headsetsavailable for the PS4, and we’ve got quite the situation on our hands. Power to the players!

iGR has now been informed that Sony has lifted ALL street dates from their PS4 accessories and launch software. It’s been confirmed to us that PS4 launch titles like Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag andBattlefield 4 will be available November 12th. Three days prior to the launch of the console. There’s even talk that the SCEJ launch title Knack may be showing up ahead of schedule.

This information comes from a reliable source within GameStop. When referring to PS4 games being available for purchase pre-launch, the source stated, “It’s great for us, because we’re now looking at one dedicated console line on November 15th.”

Maybe to lessen the stress on the retailer channel?

I'm just guessing, but it can't be easy to handle the launch of 2 hot products so close to each other. Has it even happened before?

So the console is the only thing bought on the 15th



I wonder if the November 15th launch was a safe date but they get ahead of schedule close to the launch... a week early launch was possible



I LOVE CONSOLE LAUNCHES! All the hype is like a good drug.



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

dunno, but i think you're right, it would be hell to try to go into gamestop on launch day and try to pick up a console, game and a headset; so they might just be getting some of the sales out of the way now...
