I'm going to go out on a limb and say SimplyGames can be trusted..

Thanks a lot, ordered this morning and it's already been shipped! Using DPD too, my favourite courier.

Oh.
Are you lot married with kids and fear backlash from the wives if you order one of these?
Hop in my boat and convince me otherwise.

Quidco has published the voucher now, so you should be able to use it without any problems!
Excellent value now!

Points spent, used them to buy Drive Club (£25.95) and some Thumb grips (£2.95) - total price to pay = £0.44p after use of points. Also don't forget 3.5% quidco.

I bought The Last of Us Remastered for £11 - US account and download code right after getting the PS4 last week (took an age to download though).

MrT8064

Anyone know if quidco is tracking?

Have a look at this mate! May help you out

Do I need one tomorrow? No
Is the price likely to be on an upward trend? No
Does it play all those PS3 games I bought? No

I want one real bad but not enough to part with £250. Not yet anyway. Heat though, it is a good deal.

Feel the same. I think you also forgot to add, 'Do I need to buy PS4 HD remastered versions of games I already have on PS3? No, and no again'

I'm quite glad they remastered some of the games as I didn't get them on ps3.

just ordered one for me cheers op

Cracking price for a new PS4, more so if Quidco actually pulls through!

New bench mark of £250 to be seen soon?

You try and help people by saying you need to register to enter the code, they ask where do you enter the code. Sigh.
Anyway, those who ordered today should receive theirs tomorrow, or Friday latest.
You can reassure all of us if these are brand new or refurbs. I'm going to say brand new as nothing on the page says refurb.

Unbelievable price....mucho heato!

Ordered, good find OP.

In my basket. Finger hovering over 'Place Order' button. 15 likes says I should click it! Go!

Ordered, been looking on gumtree for second hand and still some people looking for £280 used with no games

Can I be your friend? (_;)

Hahahahaha, very kind of you!!

Taken the plunge. £257.95 and hopefully less 8% Quidco if it tracks. Now to source some games and PS Plus...

Cashback has tracked with quidco - £20.16 - for those who were unsure.

My first time using quidco - does anyone know when/how I'll be able to withdraw that money back to my bank?

Hello Fantasy Deals, just like to say a big thank you as I believe you posted the link about the PS4, got one earlier. Thanks

It's back in stock, I've just this second bought one.

there is a ps4 with driveclub on currys ebay outlet, new, damaged box, £275.39 if that helps anyone.

Got it and Quidco tracked at £20.16. That means the console cost me £237.79, Im happy with that. Was hoping for a bundle deal post Christmas but there has been so little at good prices.

Placed an Amazon order with Alien Isolation: Nostrum Edition, Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag and Tomb Raider Definitive Edition for £58.53. That makes it a console and 3 games I actually want for less than £300 and all delivered tomorrow.

Cheers OP.

BACK IN STOCK!
just ordered, thank you X)

Yeah just figured that out. Went through as a guest and couldn't see the code box so went back to make an account and when I refreshed my basket they'd gone. So annoyed with myself haha. Oh well.

Difference is stated … Difference is stated here:http://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/2pcl5b/ps4_models_cuh11xxa_vs_cuh10xxa/Read lessRead more

So basically nothing important going by this post...

"If you want to know the differences between the first CUH-1000 series model of the PS4 and the new CUH-1100 series which Sony has been pushing on the market lately, the Japanese blog [Register or Login to view links] did an extensive teardown of the new console and found out every little discrepancy between the two SKUs.

Power consumption between the two models is about the same both in stand-by mode and when turned on, while the CUH-1100 is about 50 grams lighter than its older counterpart, weighing 2.70 Kg instead of 2.75.

The new motherboard has the model number SAB-001, while the original one was SAA-001. Below you can see two pictures featuring both sides of the new board.

The motherboard layout is almost the same, the only big difference is that the CUH-1000 has a two-phase circuit between the power supply and the CPU and a four-phase one with the GPU. The CUH-1100 has a one-phase circuit with the CPU and a three-phase circuit linking to the GPU.

The APU’s model number has changed to CXD90026AG (previously CXD90026G), but the lack of difference in the number indicates that there’s no change in processing power. Below you can see the old and the new APU chips compared (Old model above, new below, as it will be for all the pictures in this article).

The Renesas R32C/118 system controller has also changed model number from A01-COL to A02-COL. Below you can see the two chips compared.

The SDRAM connected to the sub-processor CXD90025G also changed model number from 4B2G1646E-BCK0 to K4B2G1646Q-BCMA.

The 8-bit MCU (Microcontroller unit) by STMicroelectronics that was connected to the sub-processor is completely missing in the new model. From the wiring it seemed to be related to the Blu-Ray drive, but since the same chip was (and is) also included in the board of the Blu-Ray drive itself, maybe it was redundant originally. Below you can see a pic of the missing MCU.

The power supply has changed part number from ADP-240AR to ADP-240CR and is now 24 grams lighter. The output rating has changed slightly as you can see from the pictures below.

The heat sink features the other main difference, as the shape of the fins has been changed. The new one weighs 324 grams against 298 of the old one. Here’s a picture comparison:

In the old CUH-1000 model, in order to raise the efficiency of the cooling depending on location, the fins have different angles in the high airflow area compared to the low airflow area. In the CUH-1100 model this has been omitted and all the fins have the same angle (editor’s note: now the fins are also all the same size, while previously the ones in the low airflow area were smaller).

The design of the wi-fi antenna unit also seems to have been improved in order to reduce electromagnetic noise.

All in all, according to the analysis, the changes seem to be minor revisions, mostly aimed to reduce manufacturing costs, as it’s normal during the lifetime of a console."

delivered! new and sealed. model 1116A

All mine was sealed and looks new. Not too bothered about the model number because as posted there is nothing really different, only changes to reduce manufacturing costs. Only thing is my quidco didn't track so I've put in a claim.

Very impressed with DPD delivery next day which was pinned down to an hour slot. Thanks to the OP.

New and sealed but received the older cuh-1003a.

did anyone who got one of these notice if all of their peripherals were … did anyone who got one of these notice if all of their peripherals were in sealed plastic bags. The little earpiece thing in mine wasn't in plastic and the controller bag wasn't sealed.......although it all looks pretty new.Also where do I find the model number?cheersRead lessRead more

I had the same , but watching an unboxing vid on youtube , the day one console the bag for the controller wasn't stuck shut and either was the bag with the earpeice, so it could of fallen out (mine was half out) . But saying that on the video the paperwork (warrenty card and starter booklet) was in a bag and mine wasn't so still unsure .
But console and pad look brand new and the console warrenty lables covering the screws don't look like they have been tampered with so ........

I just got my rakuten 10x points , worth £28.50 and spent them on a white controller, paying only £20.43 extra with delivery! What a bonus !!!

Ilykthings

Anyone else not get their points after buying this?

Got them this morning! £28.50 worth. wow.

I got my super points and Quidco has tracked. Unfortunately for me I still have no PS4 as DPD had a fire in their Southampton hub... so I am waiting to get an update on that! Ah well. Still an amazing deal and I'll be super happy when I finally get it!!
