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 Fall, Knack, Call 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.

Two friends have used Claude to help bring the open-source PS2 emulator PCSX2 to a browser. Their project, TabStationToo, has been tested with games including GTA San Andreas and Final Fantasy XII.

The developers say Claude did most of the programming while they directed the work and tested the results. It’s still experimental, but games run locally without installing a desktop emulator.
