...but there are caveats (relatively easy ones, but caveats nonetheless).

Starts tomorrow at 11am in London in a special custom shop.

EDIT 2:

Oh, Sony, now you're just being mean

EDIT 3:

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Would be nice to get one of those for that price. Stupid living overseas!

 

[Aticos]

I CRASHED MY BANDICOOT

 

[Blablurn]

haha, damn

someone on my twitter feed is going crazy about it right now

"how is it only in london"

"you screwed uk fans over, sony"

:lol

Some people man. You cannot please them all.

Good marketing campaign from Sony tho.

[Relaxed Muscle]

Oh, Sony, now you're just being mean

 

[Kyoufu]

This makes me sad as I can't be there tomorrow and even if I can, there's going to be a billion chavs there waiting to pounce.

 

[SerTapTap]

While I'd love to get one for that price, I guess US fans had a much better chance to actually get one. If you saw the tweet and were willing to put up with 20 minutes of site errors like I was it seems like you had a decent chance. These will be gone the moment the shop opens.

I kinda want those socks btw

 

[Lady Siara]

All these cruel Crash references...I can't take it anymore.

 

[Savantcore]

Damn that's super close to where I live, but I've got none of my old Playstation gear on me

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Going to be carnage.

 

[Red Liquorice]

I assume people are queuing already?

 

[Covfan]

Kinda tempted to phone that number on the crash bandicoot missing poster.

 

[Cheat Code]

Fuck you guys.

Edit: Beaten like a government mule.

 

[TomShoe]

You've got to be kidding me. I paid $500 for mine.

Should have been online like the US. Many people work/are in full time education. And don't live in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

 

[Addnan]

Aaaaah, the one Wednesday all year I have plans in the morning. Wednesdays are usually my day off

[Brudinho]

Bring this to Berlin!
Would camp a whole night to get one these
But I think the amount of people that are trying to get one will be freakin high

 

[Tibbs-McGee]

I work in London, this would have been fantastic if I wasn't, you know... working. Good luck to the people trying though!

 

[Stereogatari]

Fucking hell GAF shall I go? I'm thinking it's going to be impossible to get one at that £20 price.

 

[Jørdan]

Wicked sick.

Mwhahaha.

I wan't those blue PS socks so bad.

 

[KennyLinder]

Wat.

Cough I feel a cough coming cough eh can't come to work..

So 194 for the UK. Jeez.

 

[Seik]

That Crash joke is just plain cruel. :lol

[Raist]

Sooo, what exactly counts as "old playstation stuff"?

 

[mrklaw]

How do you qualify for the £19.94? Do they choose the best playstation stuff or first come, first served? I could sacrifice my pocket station, negcon or taito arkanoid paddle controller.


Although bloody hell Tower Hamlets is miles away

 

[webkatt]

Crash is returning.

Believe!

 

[sasliquid]

I may just go... now what to bring my original copy of ICO or my signed P4G

 

[Stereogatari]

It sounds like you show them a piece of memorabilia and say the password and that's that.

 

[BGBW]

So I went to my local fish mongers and bought a giant crab. Will they accept this as Sony memorabilia?

 

[Savantcore]

Is it just PS1 stuff or can it be anything Playstation?

 

[Symphonia]

Anyone in London able to grab me one? I'll transfer the money.

PM if you're able to do this.

 

[SegaShack]

Sooo, what exactly counts as "old playstation stuff"?

The 200 prototype consoles that have both a Super Nintendo cartridge port and a CD drive.

No chance they'll let people buy 2.

 

[BosSin]

IM WORKING THEN YOU COCKS

 

[Sidewinder]

There will be blood!

 

[Raist]

The 200 prototype consoles that have both a Super Nintendo cartridge port and a CD drive.

Cool, I've got 3 of these.

 

[SuicidalSteve]

I work near there consider me there

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Wait, 20 ponds for the whole system? Not just a controller? Seriously?

 

[BGBW]

The 200 prototype consoles that have both a Super Nintendo cartridge port and a CD drive.

Would be funny if someone bought a SNES controller as a joke. I mean technically Krazy Ken also made the soundchip for the SNES so it does count as part of the PlayStation history because it's what started him off.

 

[KennyLinder]

200?

 

[Visualante2]

Fuck it I'm going to this. If you see someone with a red dragon hat feel free to say hi. Expecting to be thoroughly disappointed.

Going to see what PlayStation swag I can dig out... I have a Christmas card from the Calling all Cars team somewhere that should be enough.

edit. Having second thoughts. Queues will be there all night probably.

Try a bit further North West for me (Derry).

 

[TrebuchetGames]

If Sony had put the PS4 at this price at Black Friday, then perhaps they would have won NPD....








/s

It's going to be crazy at that store no doubt.

 

[Chanser]

I want those socks.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Yeah they only have 94 tho and the 2 days after its regular priced and they have 50 for each day.

 

[Mindwipe]

Brick Lane? Shit.

Ah well, the queue will be *ludicrous*.
