I didn't pre-order one for the November launch, will I be able to get one for Christmas or have I blown it!
Could I get one from America?
Stockinformer seem confident more will hit the UK market after the 19th
Any serious advice welcome, I guess my son will have to miss out this time
I reckon you'll be alright. It wouldn't be a smart business move to not push manufacturing to 11 to meet Christmas demand. Just keep a look out after launch day. Not worth stressing over trying to find a pre-order for launch day if you want it for a Christmas present.

What would be the best way to keep on top of this? Is there a a place I can sign up for alerts that covers all the retailers when stock becomes available?

Seriously doubt it.
Quick thoughts; the production run starting again now would be chaos.
Think about when they did the reveal to launch. 4 months? A lot of that will be final tweaks, production, testing etc etc. Primary build will be all done their end with the resources they have but there's a lot of testing to do.
Then you have distribution, logistics, transfer, delivery. This is where we are now for initial release.
Parts for next wave will be being made but they will want to do a run in one go. Not make 100,000 here, 200,000 there... Sony will want to make a million at least per production run is my guess.
Production will start again end of November, lead time down to a couple of months and have things ready January/February time for more consoles.
Are you Sony's production manager?

Thanks, seen a console go for £490 on ebay so I expect there will be options
I imagine once we get past 19th November the prices will drop slightly
I'd say the closer we get to Christmas morning the higher the prices will goThanks, seen a console go for £490 on ebay so I expect there will be options

There are 2 markets here. 1) Fan's like yourself who have to have the console on release date. 2) The Christmas market. I think the highest price on auction sites will peak in NovemberYou reckon?

Well I don't know about manufacturing, so can't speak about production runs and what not. Who knows when they started to mass produce the console. But to not have any sales between launch day and Christmas, seems like that would be a gross miscalculation in the planning. I just don't see how they wouldn't be taking advantage of the busiest time of the year for shopping.

It'll be only 23 working days until Christmas on release day
That's rather subjective...Also, if you don't get one, don't feel stressed out. It's just a console and there aren't any must play exclusives for it for sometime yet.
I've only got 36 working days left of the yearI wish!
