drummerklg Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) A leaked memo from Sony to GameStop was sent this morning, telling the American gaming retailer to take unlimited pre-orders of the upcoming PlayStation 4 console. The memo reads, "Starting now, through this weekend and until further notice, Sony has allowed us to take unlimited preorders beyond your current allotments. In other-words, the flood gates are open for PS4 system reserves, we will let you know when to stop preordering based on limited quantities." GameTrailers acquired the memo from a source and verified it with another source as well. Reportedly one GameStop store originally began with 24 PS4 pre-orders available then saw the number available rise to 138. Last week, GameStop executives told Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO Jack Tretton they would buy "every single unit" that could be manufactured.

Curb Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 the pre orders are unlimited, doesnt mean the actually supply is I never said it did.It just sounds like there will be more units available than there were last launch, when people were hospitalized for brawling with each other and the always-lazy assholes were throwing up PS3s on Craigslist and eBay for $800 and $900. The more organized this is, and the larger the supply, the better - even if it isn't infinite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeke_Anderson Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Intresting, this memo hit my local Gamestop the day after the conference. Thought it was common knowledge that it was game on when it came to pre orders on PS4s. XBox Ones on the other hand are crazy limited (my local Gamestop got a whopping to they could let out for pre order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullstomp Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I think it is great. However, I wonder if GameStop is going to lift the "per household limit" of 1. If so, I already have one reserved for my living room, I can still use one for my bedroom and game room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigPete7978 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I think it's good that they are allowing for more preorders of the console. Just hope they limit customers to how many they can buy individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artemisthemp Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I am a bit worried that Sony may not be able to deliver all those PS4 on Launch day, but let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPete7978 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I am a bit worried that Sony may not be able to deliver all those PS4 on Launch day, but let's see. That's what I was thinking as well. I could see them struggling to meet the demand for the console. I hope not, but still it's going to be hard when you make it unlimited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
