Very, very slim to none is the chance you have unfortunately. You could buy one online and present him with the Amazon order acknowledgment that you print off. It isn't like he will be able to use it on christmas much anyway and I'm sure he will understand what with it being the best selling console launch in Britain or whatever.

this might help: from the other thread.

I popped to my local Smyths toy store ( http://www.smythstoys.com/ ) last night to see how long their pre order list was. The chap in the store said there was about 13 people on it and that they are expecting to receive about 10 consoles a week for stock up to Xmas. He said I would be surprised if you didn't get one before xmas and I would expect you to be playing next weekend all being well.

It seems Smyths is an official stock-list as mentioned here: http://uk.playstation.com/ps4/buy/ They arnt a massive chain (45 ish stores http://www.smythstoys.com/Store_Locator.aspx) but seeing as they are an official Stock-list shop they seem to get a decent amount of stock in.

Hopefully this will help out if there is one local to you.
