Bummer, I wonder if there will be Day One versions of the Digital versions of those games. If not that would be another unfortunate consequence of moving from online DRM to physical DRM for physical media.

I think I am going to get the FIFA 14 bundle, which is the one I pre-ordered back in June when we didn't know about the free game bundled with the console.
Not that I am actually in favour of having FIFA 14 instead of Forza 5, (not quite the opposite either since I like both games) but the Forza 5 bundle has sold out.

I will probably purchase the Limited Edition of Forza 5 separately.

I do believe I heard you can download the digital editions within a certain time frame and still receive the "Day One" content. I have no proof of this, and it may simply have been a lucid dream.

Over the last few hours I've received updates from Amazon US to indicate that my Controller + Play and Charge Kit, standalone Play and Charge Kit, and now finally my XBO have new estimated arrival dates of November 22nd. The Shipping option, however, hasn't yet converted properly to "Release Date Delivery". A mere formality, I suspect.
Wow finally.
Best Buy still has them though.
Interesting wording on the Ms store Xbox now
So I guess it's more or less "guaranteed before Christmas (yes it could be after Dec 25, but I doubt it)
Just got an email from Amazon giving me the option to upgrade my pre-order to one of six bundles they have!

Strange that they don't have a Digital Gamers pack.
I'll be tempted to buy 50GB games on disc next gen too. Not sure it will be 'that' different for others.
Games I play online frequently though, are still tempting to be played from HDD. But it may well be you're allowed to install those parts on HDD anyway and not need the disc. That would be interesting.

Whether digital or physical, the game will likely take up the same amount of space on your drive, based on the info we currently have. We have a pretty good idea as to how the "PlayGo" system works for physical copies. We know it dynamically caches data as its being accessed from the ODD to the HDD. We also know it transfers remaining data from the disc to the drive during periods of idle time until the entire disc is copied. The only thing we don't know is if that second activity is optional. No indication was giving if it was or not, but as it stands you'll be installing the entire game to your drive either way (albeit without a discrete upfront install). This is all based on the Gamasutra Cerny interview. Buying physical would, of course, help save your bandwidth caps if that affects you.

Downloading a 50GB file would take me ~85 hours on a good day(s), or around 3 days!! It's not really an option

Nothing from Amazon UK, who I pre-ordered with within days of PS4 pre-orders going live but I got similar offers from GAME UK, who I also pre-ordered with.
Giving serious consideration to keeping both, one for the lounge, one for the bedroom.

Just noticed that US Amazon does have a KZ:SF and PS Plus bundle.

Hello,
don't know if this is the right thread, sorry if it is not.
Does anyone know how the PS4 PSN+ plus will work? Meaning, many of us already have PS3 PSN+, so do we need to have a new login for the PS4? Can the old one be reused?
How will it work with the Vita? AFAIK, only one account can be linked to the Vita.
Thanks in advance for your answers...

It's pretty straightforward. Everything carries over. Your PSN ID along with your PS+ membership. You'll log into PSN on the PS4 using the same UID as with your PS3 and Vita. PS+ benefits are persistent across all platforms for the same fee (one membership covers all platforms).
I pre-ordered mine way back in May, as soon as they were available. It was the same with the XBone but I've since cancelled that.
I just want the VitaTV to get launched over here to extend the PS4 in other rooms in the house.
