Amazon.de is also initiating a pre-order stop for the PS4.

Following England, the German branch of Amazon.de has now also informed its customers that the PS4 can only be pre-ordered for a few more days.

The newsletter email from Amazon.de states: "Pre-order your PlayStation 4 today, because in a few days the pre-order quantity for the PlayStation 4 console will be sold out."

It's unlikely this is a sales tactic to artificially inflate pre-orders. There have been repeated indications from the US that pre-order quantities are dwindling. Furthermore, a pre-order guarantees you'll receive your console on launch day, or at least very soon thereafter.

Amazon is also highlighting the attractive DriveClub bundle, available with the PS4 for just €419. You can pre-order this bundle via the image or the standard bundle via the ad below.
