eBay. Be prepared to pay well over the odds.

I've heard that everywhere is sold out and the next batch is due late December early Jan.

Tesco had some this morning, I got the EMail alert and could have bought one. All gone now though, that might have been the last batch prior to Christmas.

I used http://www.stockinformer.co.uk/ to find one a couple of weeks ago, you can set EMail alerts etc. It was one of their alerts I received this morning.

You can see the Tesco stock history here http://www.stockinformer.co.uk/stockhistory.aspx?hid=1574

Looks like it's come in and out of stock a few times today.

Good luck!

If you've got a smart phone then load the Argos app and search for PS4. It will show you the stock levels for about 10 stores local to you (or any postcode you supply) which is better than the website. Keep checking that and you might strike lucky!

If one pops up then reserve it asap! Worth creating an argos acct in advance and logging into it in the app to minimise the time taken to get the thing reserved.

The stockinformer site used to check all Argos stores but now doesn't (as in just a few days ago). I'm guessing Argos stopped them accessing their systems and probably the same goes for icheckstock.

We've reserved something at Argos before, and when we got to the store it had been sold, so don't think it's 100% yours if you do reserve.

My local Argos has one in earlier and Tesco has delivery to some stores this am so keep checking. Don't pay the opportunists who make a profit from the lazy folk.

With the "entrepreneurs" selling reservation codes on the 'bay one could purchase one, collect your prize and then file a paypal claim stating the code didn't work. Leaving said entrepreneur out of pocket.

Just sayin' 😉

Same here. I think it was when the Wii balance board was in short supply...the reservation mysteriously disappeared after wasting an hour (not) to collect it. I don't trust their systems.

Your profile says you're in Manchester, a quick search on Gumtree shows several for sale, there's one sealed £400, Tel 07568366321. Good luck.

I know about gumtree eBay ect but there's no way I'm paying more than the rrp from a shop,so I'll get a receipt/warrantee.

Really appreciate all the suggestions 😉

To be honest, that's a good call if receipt available.

I ordered one from Amazon a week ago, and was given a delivery date for January at the earliest.Anyway, it arrived 2 days ago. Might be worth just bunging an order in and crossing your fingers.

Hmm, I love my ps3, not for gaming (I'm rubbish) but for media etc. the ps4 is vastly inferior, why did they do that?

Change the calendar in your house. Tell your son it's November. No stress on you.
Realistically though you're not going to get one are you?
It will be an excellent lesson in life.
Promises made by a trusted person aren't worth the paper they're written on: He will grow up resenting you forever.

If only there'd been some sort of advance notice that these PS4 things were going to be released on a certain date, then at least you'd have had some chance of reserving or pre0ordering one or something.

I blame those secretive bastards at Sony.

That's the price of Killzone Pack with Extra controller is it not?

I expressed my displeasure.

I don't see a problem with it. Your mate saw an opportunity to make some money and someone was prepared to pay that amount.

No different to investing in vintage wine, art or even property. The returns are just quicker.

Loads back in at Argos across the country for those last minute shoppers amongst us. Sadly I didn't get enough overtime last month to get one.

Walked into Game yesterday morning had a play on the demo one, so a few minutes later (I'm a sucker when it comes to demos) asked one of the staff had they any in stock, 5 mins later walking out with one with Knack, CoD and BF4. Looks like it was a daily delivery, no one else there beating on the counter for one whilst I was being served.

Used to work at ToysRus years ago, in the two years I worked there I got threatened with violence by several angry parents because we'd sold out of Playstations on Christmas Eve.

Lets be honest you've had plenty of time to get it sorted.

That said I hope you get a positive outcome.

If you don't fancy going into GAME and getting your trousers pulled down with one of their £500 bundles, Argos have some PS4's in stock for £349.99.

This map shows all the PS4 stock Argos has in the UK http://www.myps4deals.co.uk/argos-stock-locator/ , something you can't get on the Argos website itself.
