Do you consider Russia a Europe? PS4 got a price boost here this spring and since then its freely available.


You must be Russian lol. No one in Europe considers Russians Europeans or even would like to entertain the idea.

Well, it seems Japanese a weird too... Since Nintendo of Russia is a part of NOE. And as I know, the same is for Sony.
Also, I think its strange to not call a Europe the country that covers big part of it.
Wiki: "European Russia (also Western Russia or Central Russia) refers to the Western areas of Russia that lie within Europe, comprising roughly 3,960,000 square kilometres (1,528,560 mi2) and spanning across 38% of Europe."

Oh i know it's geographically Europe. I meant European like to think it's not true.

Lol at this thread XD

It basically demonstrates that 80% of posters don't read anything but the thread title before posting.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Hmm, must just be me but I've seen a good few PS4's in the wild in my local stores. Not "loads" but certainly not enough to say there's shortages. Then again the article says it's better in the UK so perhaps it's not the best anecdotal evidence out there.

Still if that is a problem, then it's a good place to be. But something Sony need to sort out ASAP


After all, you do live in the UK, and he said that the UK wasn't the problem, it was a bigger issue with mainland Europe.

Yes, I know and I said that.

Also other people from other countries in Europe have said that there's no real issues in their countries, but Germany does have a problem which seems strange.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Huh, I didn't know that. I can guarantee you that here in Norway they are definetly supply constrained (although we are such a small market that it doesn't really matter).

Off topic: Is that your dog in your avatar? He looks so cute!

Where in Norway do you live? In Trondheim, they have stock mostly everywhere, same goes for small towns (Namsos) farther north. Here in Stockholm; they're easy to come by, even the small-ish Game store in Skrapan, a couple of hundred meters from where I live, have 8-10 units in stock most of the time.

Oh, well I suppose it is because I live in such a tiny town then. It's called Svolvær. The local electronic retailer says that they won't have enough PS4's to even cover what has been pre-order so far before after new-year. Oh well, luckily i'm ordering mine from Amazon anyway. Much cheaper.

I see, it is quite possible that smaller places get no shipments. Namsos (as mentioned) is about 10.000 or so strong and Trondheim is bound to get more shipments. But, as you say; retailers are out, online stores are the way to go!

Svolværpostei! Det var lenge siden!
