Alright im going to attempt sleep (I'll fail and probably play Tearaway) before I get my hands on that lovely piece of next gen gaming goodness. Post pics of your haul if you can

Playing Tearaway all night is a good activity to do instead of sleeping...

Pretty big queue in my local tesco chatted to the dude on checkout he said some lunatics got there at 1 o clock! Also queue is bigger than their allotment. He added that the xbox launch was quiet in comparison.

Finally. Only took 7 hours... it's a half hour journey!

Midnighters, I want to see photos!

 

[Iceblade]

Just got mine (Australia)! The box is sexy as, it's like a laptop.

 

[Izayoi]

Is there a thread compiling launch line pictures? I love looking at this shit but it's scattered through several different threads at this point.

 

[tamaster92]

Wonder if the store will be updated yet it not till 5PM GMT like usual

Where is this? Birmingham?

Picked it up an hour ago at the midnight launch in Stockholm, Sweden. Made in Japan

 

[DemonNite]

Weird that the Xbox One had larger stock in Europe, makes no sense.

PS4 Europe stock is far greater than the numbers xbox one sold (not sure how many they shipped though)

Edit - Europe numbers I mean not Worldwide

Congratulations!

Love this gif. Congrats new ps4 owners

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

There's something kind of special about having a playstation made in Japan considering everything is made in China now. You guys are lucky.

 

[rubbishmonkey]

I dont know how im going to stay still until my PS4 arrives. Lucky i have alot of housework to do.... Unless it comes early then i'll get nothing done at all.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

PS4 Sale numbers are going to be insane, aren't yet?

 

[PirateKing]

I've started playing but Rosogun has to be my favorite at the moment.
By the way, I've heard people mention you can have two ''Primary'' account on PS4, but when I went through it, it did say that it's only up to one PS4 each account. What's up with that?

Walsall (town in birmingham)

Over or under 300k for the UK?

We have a book running at the office...

"Made in Japan" is the new Limited Edition.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

What makes you say that?

By larger stock, I mean more units shipped to the region, not more units left unsold on store shelves.

Microsoft just had a worldwide launch, while Sony had an extra two weeks to get additional shipments to Europe.

Plus we've heard that Sony has better yields/production capacity.

So I don't see why stores are getting less PS4s than the Xbox One received, however I guess the fact that PS4 is launching in more regions in Europe could explain that

PS4 Europe stock is far greater than the numbers xbox one sold (not sure how many they shipped though)

Edit - Europe numbers I mean not Worldwide

Oh, good to hear.

I guess the anecdotal report earlier of a store only receiving like 10 PS4s vs 50 XBones for launch could have just been a weird outlier.

 

[UnObtainium17]

dumb question but how would you know if the ps4 is made in japan/china? Is it printed outside the box, or in the console?

Bottom of the console.

Your avatar! That's how I picture your face right now! Congrats on the launch!

 

[ElTorro]

Only few hours left, guys.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I ended up getting the Knack bundle. It was £385 and with my discount taken off it £333 all together which is great for launch price

 

[dc89]

Enlighten us

How many?

Yes tell us, it safes me the trouble to go and check in on JL if they're completely out.

dc89-ITK. Spill the fucking beans man.

The best part of 800 online. They've got stock going to select stores too.

Not a great deal of stock as they don't have the buying power of a specialist like GAME or a supermarket but still, that's more than 1 a second.

 

[Guymelef]

Bottom of the console.

And bottom the box.

You know I cannot say that here

That's less than I paid for just the console

 

[Midas]

But we'll know tomorrow afternoon or on Saturday.

 

[Marco1]

Anyone pickup a kill zone bundle that's made in Japan?
Thanks.

It means that the console share is limited to 2 machines with the same primary account. Its the same on Ps3.

 

[rottame]

One of the great things of parental leave is taking the baby, go have a nice breakfast in town and then buy a brand new PS4. Tomorrow morning is gonna be nice.

 

[Dawg]

oh btw

drunken hobo's werent the only bad part, guy at the store didn't find any proof of my €50 I gave to them when I pre-ordered on his pc.

console was €439 and I only had €417 on me; heart skipped a fucking beat

guy told me if i had the receipt and i spend minutes searching it

eventually found it (when i was givin up hope), felt like charlie from the chocolate factory when he found his golden ticket; shit was almost too hard to believe

and again, sorry for typos and all, my arm is STILL shaking from this trip

 

[Gusto]

Just a little jelly. I hope my second one is made in japan.

Shiiiit!!

2 million for Europe/500k for UK confirmed!!!

 

[cyberheater]

One things for certain. Every single PS4 in the EU will be sold in the next 24 hours.

Let's hope. I want to have a holiday

 

[Acidyl]

Got mine.

Trying to update it but I think PSN is getting hammered in Europe. fails to download completely everytime.

 

[Vol5]

jesus never again will I go to a midnight launch when the shop is next to a pub. Drunken assholes everywhere.

No matter. PS4 is MINE!!!

 

[Anth1888]

I've drove past two ASDA's and two Tesco's before midnight and they were packed. I'll get one tomorrow morning in work but this could be a huge launch in the UK.

I know what ''Primary'' in PS4 means, what I want to know is, it specifically mentioned that only one can be activated rather two which I've heard people mention on couple of threads.
I really hope I'm wrong.

 

[Simply Sami]

That makes no sense with the post you quoted.

You need to learn to read then. He said Xbox one had more stock in Europe. Because most likely less demand and less pre-orders. Where as the PS4 clearly more in demand and more pre-orders. Plus launches in more countries.

Is that clear for you?

 

[Iorv3th]

Only 1.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I think that's why I decided Knack wouldn't be too bad of an investment then... Even if I don't like it

Hopefully have Killzone coming tomorrow and will download the PS+ stuff.

 

[DBT85]

John Lewis website sold out in 8 minutes. I know how many they had in stock and that has blown my mind :lol

Da beenz. Spill dem.

 

[sun-drop]

soo impressed with the OS, and features in general.


as some one from outside the states .. the US movie store not being region locked is awesome, before it used to IP check you before it even let you see the movie section. haven't tried to buy anything yet, but the buy buttons are all active, currently anyways.
