I wonder what day the NDA lifts. I'd like to know how good Killzone and Knack are.

I don't think there is an nda for selling the games. Some stores have them they just won't put them on the shelves. My target online inventory said killzone and knack were available but when I went there, they only had ghosts. I'm guessing each store is doing something different because I've read on other boards people were able to get knack, killzone, and nba2k14 already.

As for the reviews we will probably get them a day before ps4 releases.

I have Knack, Killzone, and COD sitting on my shelf right now. Will wait to see the reviews to determine what goes back.

You should still qualify for their promo Tuesday. It's now open to all amazon customers. My local target only had cod for ps4.

The games listed in their B2G1 is the same list they showed me for the B1G1, and with Watchdogs now delayed, and I only have interest in three of them which I've ordered.

Actually I received confirmation that all three games will be shipping out soon. I wonder if Amazon is doing launch day delivery for the system? I would think so because even with Prime, with the launch being on Friday, I wouldn't get it until Monday.

Guess we'll see.

Less than 96 hours now. I am more excited for this console release than the last one. The last console release I was this excited for was most likely the N64.

I'm almost regretting joining PS+ several months back. Now I have a backlog of games on the PS3 to play. Not sure that I'll be getting anything for the PS4 to start off with. Maybe Knack, but that's all that interests me currently as I reserve the FPS's for the PC.

From what I understand, those who have already pre-ordered one of the games in that list, they were sent a B1G1 coupon so you can essentially end up buying 2 and getting one free without having to cancel your pre-order (of which will probably be processing by tomorrow). For those who haven't pre-ordered a game, you can still take advantage of the B2G1 tomorrow during their time frame for doing so.

Well with prime you should usually get things in two days. I've ordered stuff on amazon with prime free shipping on Thursday and got my items Saturday.

If there is nothing at target tomorrow around noon, I'm going to order the games on Amazon. I would hate if I didn't get my games until Saturday because I'm off Friday so I would just be staring at the ps4 box.

They are supposed to release the PS4 app before the system releases right?

You mean the vita app? My vita has the ps4 link app already. When you open it, it will ask you if you want to do remote play or second screen and then do the connection process.

Waiting till Tues for more PS4 games. I did catch up on some first party and misc stuff that just does not want to go down in price normally, won't go down any further, or is new. I know its not PS4 related but its for the B2G1 deal discussed here. Ill likely get Killzone, Knack, and AC when AC becomes available. Until then

PBKUlMJ3ak4Dc_QFVQcOvkhRTH_UqKcUSoPtbHiDKxE


Some of them are older but still holding firm at $30 even used, what I call the "Mario/Pokemon/Zelda tax", and those are the best games to get with these deals since those games themselves will never be discounted.

As for "wasting" the deal on a $30 game (Luigi U) it went with the $30 DS games.

No Target stores here have PS4 or XBO games on shelves yet besides the one I won't even bother saying the name :rolleyes:

Ill be happy with Super Mario 3D World and Zelda Link Between Worlds on the 22nd.

PS4 launch titles are meh.

I'd expect a small selection tomorrow too at target. Knowing most of the people in there don't really know about what they can or can't put on shelves, meaning the employees not managers. When I asked they said some will be available tomorrow and others on Friday. But really all the games are out already and they should be putting them on shelves.

So it sill vary from place to place when or if they did not get the shipments.

For those who haven't pre-ordered a game, you can still take advantage of the B2G1 tomorrow during their time frame for doing so.

From browsing Reddit it appears that anyone who preordered a game was sent an email with a unique code for the promo. A few who ordered two games were given codes for one free, those like myself who ordered one were given a b1g1 code, and IIRC a few who only ordered the systems were given b2g1 codes.

Looks like they're trying to get everyone who ordered something from them a b2g1 deal at the end.

My games are already either shipping or in process of, I should get two tomorrow and one the day after. I'm just curious though because the games I ordered have a street date of the 12th, and the console is the 15th does the console have launch day delivery or will I be waiting. Guess we'll find out Wednesday if they start sending out shipping notifications.

If yours was a launch day pre order then you should get the console on the 15th. I wonder if their buy 2 get 1 deal tomorrow will give you the games by the 15th?

I would think that games ordered on the 12th would arrive by the 14th if you have Prime. Otherwise, it will depend on how close the games are warehoused to where you live.

Yeah it would save me a trip to target even though it's only across the street from the building I work in. Besides Amazon is not blocked at work so of these games will be prime eligible that would be nice. I'm more counting on amazon because I know target probably won't even have the games on the shelves tomorrow by lunch time.

Those terms are from the UK site. I would venture to say that terms vary by country and they do not explicitly deny reselling games, just that it can be denied. It's an open ended clause that grants the consumer the right to sell if given by Sony.

This isn't a big deal they already said you can trade games around and such.

The monitoring stuff is for the people uploading videos and things. Kind of how YouTube monitors for illegal content and pornography which they do not allow on there.

It also gives notice that you may be recorded in a gameplay video uploaded to psn by someone else. They dont have to ask your permission and by agreeing to the terms of service you agree that you dont mind having your username displayed on the video.

Yeah nothing to be worried about you will be fine if you want to trade in or sell your game. They have to put this out because the same law won't apply everywhere. And especially because of the game recordings now.
