GameStop Runs Out of “Unlimited” PS4 Pre-Orders

July 7, 2013

Remember when Sony told retailers to accept unlimited pre-orders for the PlayStation 4 after it sold out? Well, they might not be so endless after all.

As first discovered by PlayStation LifeStyle, GameStop is no longer taking pre-orders for the base PS4 model. Those feeling left out still have the option of bundle SKUs and other retailers, although there’s no knowing if they’ll similarly run out of supply.

While this could be a sign that the PS4 is in higher demand than Sony anticipated, it could just as easily be an error on GameStop’s part. Why take your chances? Pre-order it if you have even the slightest interest in the event that history repeats itself with scalpers galore.
