Our of curiosity, did you all buy the PS4 from Australian Retailers?

Is it better to import?
Just that it costs the yanks $399 USD, which is about $430 AUD, whereas every retailer here sells it for $550.
The extra $120 you pay for getting it locally is easily worth it.

I've had a PS4 replaced because of the disc ejecting problem and a controller replaced for the analog stick tearing problem, which wouldn't be so easy (or possible?) if you got it imported.

Plus with Australia's consumer laws you could even replace it 1-2 years after your warranty is up.

No sales tax in Oregon, so go a Portland address.
I used a mcdonalds address in oregon, about $110 for 2 $50 cards. got The Show, Trials and walking dead season 2

edit: If your thinking bout getting the show but think it may be boring sitting thru a game, have a look into the quick count mode,puts you into the important part of a at bat.

Everyone who pre-ordered MLB the show from the US store check your email. Sony have sent pre-orders an email with a $5 PSN gift card and a code for 6000 Stubs valued at $5. well $10 of free stuff isnt too bad, but making us wait over 12 hours has turned a lot of digital.

Unless you are in a cable or NBN area it will prob take close to 18-20Hrs to DL its about 40GB. when i get home today it will be finished. it was about 65% lastnight after starting the DL about 12-13hours before.

I like that they gave the people who pre-ordered something, but those who had to wait but didnt pre-order miss out. I think it will be on the AU store next week, but could be later. they wont put it up this week after pulling it late.

The reason the US store was over a 12 hour delay is because the PSN store team waited to the last min to put it on the servers and then something went wrong so had to re upload it.

Ordered MLB through Oz Game shop. Was dispatched Tuesday night. I have ordered through them before, cant remember what their delivery times are like. I think they are reasonably quick. Hoping it will be here early next week?

Sometimes you get it quite quickly, other times it can take a while. Average wait time for me seems to be about a week and a half.

Cheers. Almost tempted to download it then try and flog off the un-opened game for near retail price. Not sure i can be bothered trying to figure out how to setup a US account though.

Has anyone here had experience with ordering games from Mighty Ape?

I'm thinking of pre ordering Wolfenstein and Watch Dogs from them at a significant discount to other retailers.

Any pros or cons with dealing with them, do they use Au stock?

Have used them, not AU stock, but there were no issues from my end.
