Sony Shipping Significant Quantities of PS4 Stock to Australia in February

Now that they've won the ashes, Australians can turn their attention to a much more pressing and important matter: where to purchase a PlayStation 4. We recently learned that the Japanese giant intends to keep store shelves stocked over the Christmas period, but if you haven't locked down a system yet, you probably won't be getting one until the New Year. As if in answer to the mounting chaos, SCE Australia managing director Michael Ephraim has confirmed that Aussies can expect a huge shipment of machines sometime in February 2014. “The new stock will not only fulfil all current pre-orders," he said. "But will offer thousands more fans the opportunity to own a PS4 from February 2014 onwards.”

Despite this assurance, Ephraim still recommends pre-ordering the console so that you don't miss out. “Since launch on 29th November our priority has always been to get additional stock into Australia as quickly as possible to fulfil the overwhelming demand," he continued. "The best way to guarantee your PS4 in February is by going to your preferred retailer, either in store or online, before Christmas to place your pre-order."
