PS4 already in the wild

whatever happened to that one kid on instagram who got a PS4 early from family connections? He said he was going to post a video today.

EDIT: No UI videos from that kid.

LOL

Just found this:

He's acting. That's his schtick. I used to hate him till I saw some videos of his where he's normal, now I appreciate the character.

But I'm guessing NDA (that PS4 didn't really arrive like that). I doubt we'll get anything from him.

Yeah, I doubt Sony sent a PS4 in a Directv box:p Poor controller though. He tosses it to the side and you can hear it hit the floor.
 
For those of you new to 'Francis', check out his video of the XBox One reveal. Aside from being funny It's actually pretty good acting. His mannerisms (especially the different ways he adjusts his glasses) is great.
 
Lol you guys really think francis is some sort of viral marketing? He's a youtube/troll personality haha

Well he was given a PS4 for 12 hours so ya, he's a viral marketer. If you think anything in that video wasn't set up then I'll avoid telling you Santa Claus isn't real.

Not 12 hours, only 2 hours

@metallicakw want to know a secret? i do :( was only allowed about 2 hours of game time but it was AMAZING :D
 
Launch in like 4 days and no one single UI video...Good game sony.
I'm really starting to think having so few 'free range' PS4s (or even XBox One's outside of Target's error) out in the wild is due to better security measures put in place at warehouses and stores. Maybe with jobs harder to come by, people are less willing to risk their own just to sneak one home.

Great for the industry, though sucks as a gamer that craves more unscripted info before release.
 
Why would Sony be so secretive of their UI? I don't get it. 1.5 is out, consoles are shipped early to some and the console launches in 4 days. Is there something wrong they're trying to quickly fix or something?

There's a fair number of PS4 UI videos out there.

No.

Neither Microsoft nor Sony showed off much of their UI during reveals.

Target accidentally shipped 150 XBox One units early to customers (no PS4s have been shipped out). One of the XBox One's fortunately went to a gamer with a Youtube channel, so fans on Friday night got to watch him poke around the UI until his console was banned (for playing COD online).

The few PS4's that have gone out haven't gone to people like this that can give us a glimpse at the UI. So, it has nothing to do with Sony (or Microsoft) trying to hide anything.

Implying Sony is trying to hide something is about as valid as saying only the PS4 won't ban anyone.

Pretty sure I've seen several official xbox videos entirely dedicated to showcasing the UI.
 
Sorry, I was referring to non PR, unscripted videos. Sony has the PS4 Interface Commercials, but they're even more produced. I wanna see audio options that I'll never adjust nor care about once I have it plugged in.

Its all good dude, you know how testy people are these days, just making sure we avoid conflict and put out the info we have.
