I'm all too familiar with trying to get the hottest technology immediately after it comes out, only unable to find any available. They always sold out. Finally when the PS3 came out, I pre-ordered it online, ensuring I got the console and the games I really wanted.
We may not know when, exactly, the
PS4 will finally launch, but it's almost guaranteed to sell out. Then who knows when the next batch will arrive.
The
SonyPS4 site has a pre-order page that will link to the console when it finally becomes available, but that may be a couple years away, since the
PS4 development was only recently confirmed.
When it comes time to pre-order, where will you go?
