PlayStation 4 pre-orders to open again briefly at GameStop

Add as a preferred source on Google

We’ve got an email heads-up from GameStop informing us that “an extremely limited number” of PlayStation 4 launch day bundles will be available for pre-order on the retailer’s website sometime during the morning of November 13, 2013. With the console set to launch on Friday, November 15, and most pre-sold supplies long since spoken for, this is likely your last chance to guarantee yourself a new Sony machine on launch day.

It’s not clear exactly when you’ll be able to grab a PS4 pre-order today, but you can probably figure on “morning” relating to the folks out west that live three hours in the past. If you’re really set on getting yourself a console, your best bet is to just keep re-checking GameStop’s PS4 bundle product page. There are technically six bundles that were being sold before GameStop’s pre-order allotment sold out, but one of them – the Driveclub bundle – likely won’t be available this morning, given that the racing game is no longer a launch title. The rest of the bundles include a console and one game: Killzone: Shadow FallKnackCall of Duty: Ghosts, and Battlefield 4 are the options listed.

The PlayStation 4 launches this Friday and you’ll almost definitely need a pre-order set if you want to nab one. There may be a few lucky stragglers that walk-in and score a console from the almost assuredly limited launch day supply that wasn’t pre-sold, but you should at least prepare to be disappointed if you’re going to count on that.

Roblox is turning 20 soon, and it's marking the occasion with a new way to make games without writing a single line of code. The platform's whole pitch has always been that anyone can be a creator, not just professional studios. Now, with millions of daily users, Roblox is finally bringing that power straight to your tablets and phones.

More than a year after its Computex 2025 debut, the Pulsar Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition gaming mouse is finally ready to launch. Sales begin through Pulsar’s online store on July 21 at 4 p.m. KST, although pricing has not yet been announced.

We also saw the mouse at Computex 2026, where it appeared much closer to a finished retail product. Its defining feature remains the tiny Noctua fan built into the shell, designed to push air toward your palm during long gaming sessions.

Artificial intelligence is often blamed for making people less social. Whether it's AI replacing conversations, reducing teamwork, or making gaming feel less human, the narrative has largely remained the same. But a new study suggests the opposite could also be true. In fact, AI might be quietly encouraging people to spend more time with their friends.

Researchers studying PUBG: Battlegrounds have found that introducing AI-controlled opponents into multiplayer matches didn't isolate players. Instead, it made them more confident, kept them playing longer, and even encouraged them to squad up with friends more often. The findings, which will appear in the journal Information Systems Research, offer an interesting perspective on how AI can improve user experiences rather than simply automating them.
