Anybody know what Amazon means by the PS4 "Standard Edition" and "Launch Edition"?

Standard Edition isn't guaranteed for release date delivery due to high demand, Launch Edition is guaranteed release date delivery

Standard Edition isn't guaranteed for release date delivery due to high demand, Launch Edition is guaranteed release date delivery

Also note that if you ordered early enough you were automatically switched to launch edition.

"We'll go about this like we do any other game," Soderlund said. "We're not going to greenlight a game today that doesn't have some key elements of innovation and that we don't think is going to do well in the market. You can't. It's too expensive."

Innovation is not the key to a successful game and isn't even fucking required for success and YOU are the fuckers making it too expensive to try new things/take chances you fucking dumbasses. I really fucking hope they don't fuck up Battlefront but that kind of attitude is absolutely retarded when they (by they I mean publishers/developers) are the ones responsible for these huge bloated budgets, whether it be for advertising or what have you.

Is there anywhere to check which my pre-order is? D:

Edit: Nvm going to Launch Edition page says I ordered it. SAHWEET!

[Kuishen]

EDIT: I don't even know what happened.

Ah yes, I just looked again and saw the tidbit that explained it; I wonder if it was there from the get-go.

If you are looking at the PS4 product page, there should be (there is when I go there, Firefox if it makes a difference) a bar under the categories bar that pops up when "Launch Edition" is selected that states that you ordered this product, and disappears if "Standard Edition" is highlighted. Vice versa if you were not among the people Takiwaki is referring to.

Edit: a bit late, but here

Spoiler: show

It's in the confirmation email

[Minions]

No they added "standard" and "launch" after they sold out of their allotment.

[Tyrath]

It's in the confirmation email

Doesn't in my email but on Amazon Launch Edition page it says I ordered it.

[Doombear]

It's in the confirmation email

My confirmation didn't indicate Standard or Launch, as I ordered it before they added the 'types'. But clicking on the Launch version, as Tyrath's did, it says "You lucky bitch, this is the one you ordered!" or something along those lines at the top.

[Colonelschvotz]

Ah, I waited too long so my email says I got Standard

[Jaxzer]

Launch edition here, feels good

[ArchDizzle]

Or you can just look at "your orders" under my account and when you click it will say launch edition or standard.

[Ker]

yes got the launch edition.

[Exoduso]

Launch edition here too. Sweet!

Aksys Games, a game publisher usually known for its localization of games that have already been developed, has announced its first co-developed game at E3.

Titled Magus, the game is an action RPG co-developed with the Tokyo-based Black Tower running on Unreal Engine 3 for unannounced platforms. In it, players will discover who Magus is, and why he has been imprisoned.

Story

In a world of fire and water, an unfathomable power waits. Magus has been imprisoned in a tower in the Waterfall Kingdom and tortured for years. His crime is unknown; his history is a mystery. He remains locked up, powerless, until a new prisoner named Kinna arrives and she aids him in his escape. So begins their journey to discover Magus’s true abilities—chroma magic, his innate talent to absorb power from the colors green, red, and purple in the surrounding environment to unleash deadly attacks. Along the way they must face the wrath of the Waterfall Kingdom and battle them to uncover Magus’s ultimate purpose. Why has this mysterious woman decided to help him? And why now, after all this time?

Features

• An Epic Quest for Power – Travel to dangerous lands and battle the forces that prevent you from become the god you were meant to be.
• Unleash Blistering Attacks – The world possesses red, green, and purple magic. Absorb these colors to unleash powerful magical attacks. Everything from devastating tornados to shapeshifting—Magus’s abilities are sure to please any fantasy fan.
• Evolve and Become Unstoppable – Choose between throwing fireballs or manipulating gravity—or both! Hone in on one type of magic to become the master of it or learn them all, and let no one stand in your way.

Aksys is currently showing Magus at E3.

They managed to recover the equipment that was removed yesterday?

[Doombear]

My guess is no, but they haven't really explained how they are live tonight. I assume they will be talking about the theft, but who knows...
