Does anyone know what the shipping weight of one of these editions is? I mean the whole thing as it came from game.

Thanks

Hi,

on my brown box from GAME with the corner protection peices it says 9KG but on the DPD shipping label it says 1.0KG which is a mistake, i think they meant 10KG

Thanks for that.

Ordered one from Japan and the shipping weight was coming out at 9.3 KG, which I thought was on the high side because the standard PS4 is about 5 KG tops.

Must be that black box it comes in.

Yea the american version when it was shipped said 19lbs. I thought they were sending me 2 for that kind of weight. Weird

So what's the general thought on the value of these, I'm really torn - I'd love ot buy one (to use) but I can't justify the ~£1000, especially as I'm fairly certain the value will drop...especially if Sony release a non-numbered edition.

I'm tempted to sell a lot of my stuff to fund it, but I really don't think it's worth the investment...what about you guys?

edit - I read some of the first few pages and I tend to agree with twisted that the value will drop, once the £1000 payers dry up there will be a natural drop. Think I'd happily pay over the RRP - I offered some guy on eBay £500 + I'd come and collect and pay cash in hand but he wasn't interested, didn't even come back with a counter or reply, I offered another guy £600 and he politely declined, I figured someone might be interested in a no-hassle deal...such a shame the Game promotion was a shambles.

I'd be very surprised to see one sell for less than £900 on Ebay. Remember Ebay + Paypal charge the seller about 13.4% on the whole transaction. So the seller has to take that into account too.

For a cash pick up maybe you could snag one for £800. But remember these are very limited. Remember when the original backwards compatible PS3 FAT was launched in November 2006, many years later they were selling for over $2000 on Ebay!

I entered the 'shambles' competition and submitted the form like within 40 seconds and still failed to get one On another day the page failed to load in time! so I had no choice but to buy at premium.

Good luck with getting one at a good price though.

Maybe, I just think there's a lot of hysteria at the moment that will die down.

As said by twisted there are examples of much more limited hardware being worth substantially less so you never know.

I still have the Sony picture competition to hold onto

How much did you pay for yours anyway?

Yes maybe.

I bought mine for about £900 including shipping from Japan. Not sure if I'll get hit with some tax. Let's see. If I was patient I reckon I could have got it for £800 though.

fingers crossed for you mate.

really odd thing just happened (well not odd, more timing odd) - I've just been offered to buy one!! I hope it's for real and not a wind-up

On a funny note, look at these two unboxings. As opposite as you like lol.
