It seems as though the PS4 mega bundle – you know, the one at the same price as the Xbox One, including Killzone Shadow Fall, an additional DualShock 4 and the PS4 Camera – has been delayed in some European territories, and will now release around two weeks later than the PS4’s release date of November 29th.
The countries affected are Finland, Portugal and Germany – confirmed by their branches of Amazon and GameStop. The Amazon.de listing for the PS4 mega bundle currently features a message warning customers of the delay:
Please note that this product will not be released on 29.11.2013. The exact release date has not yet been confirmed by the manufacturer but is ahead of Christmas.
This is no good, and I really hope Sony offer an alternative for customers, allowing them to receive a console on the 29th of November, though it’s doubtful with the high demand for PS4s.
My UK order doesn’t show a delay, although the delivery estimate is now November 30th rather on release day, and Amazon had offered release day delivery. Also, a poster on NeoGAF has contacted ShopTo and been told that he will receive the bundle on launch day.
UPDATE: Amazon has confirmed to us that UK orders will receive their bundles on the 29th of November.
UPDATE 2: PlayStation Access have also confirmed that it is not delayed in the UK via twitter.
Following reports we can confirm that there is no delay for the expected arrival of the PS4 Killzone Shadowfall Mega Bundle here in the UK.

Shopto never offered me any bundles, so I’ve just got the console coming. Not fussed, as they’re all crap anyway!

This is really not good. I wonder why they’re delaying – production misjudged on the camera, maybe? They’ll want to fulfil the US launch demands two weeks earlier (grrrr) and then perhaps they’re prioritising certain (more important, to them) EU markets and ensuring that they’re served?
It’s a really poor show though, and it’ll harm the number of units that sell at launch with the camera which in turn will harm the prospects of that camera and relevant software. That’s bad news for everyone.
My Game preorders are fine, luckily for me (and them), but I’d be gutted and furious if my guaranteed launch day delivery was somehow messed around.

Everyone bought all the DualShock 4s already.

DON’T DO THAT!
I had a panic attack when I read that headline! I’m calm now… My order is safe…
fillip2k
I wish I had never had to cancel my Pre-Order now really annoyed I’ll be missing out!
Its especially hard as Killzone is a launch title and I love Killzone games…
I blame George Osbourne and his smelly taxes and the local council who seemingly charge taxes for doing jack shit…

Bloody hell, nearly got sick for a moment there, thankfully it doesn’t seem to affect Ireland.

I have this bundle on order with Game, so hope they don’t screw things up for those of us at the midnight launch.

I know, i was reading it and my heart sank. Im going to the GAME store at midnight myself and god help them if my bundle isnt there. :)

I suggest we check the week before with the stores as that’s when they’ll probably be taking delivery of their stock allocation and either confirm we have a guaranteed bundle for Midnight opening or save queuing up only to be told to come back next week.
InNodWeTrust
Yeah i agree. Will phone them up as they are good friends of mine. :) Fingers crossed eh. Im giddier than a 4 year old at xmas.

I thought I had mentioned this before, but in Portugal that bundle will only be available on December 15th. Which is why I changed the order for the Killzone only bundle :/

I checked with 3 different retailers (one of them is usually the source for leaks) and they all had the same December 15th date, so it sounds pretty much set.
They’ve had it since two or three weeks ago.
