That was awesome. Thanks for that.
 

Very nice. Any chance you could make one for the Nexus 7(2013) edition?

Checked my credit card online and see a charge against my account for my preorder. Have to say, going this route sure beats the hell out of standing in line for launch.
 
aw shit, that means we bout to have some LEAKS :D

If you click on his instagram name, another picture is a box full of PS4 copies of COD. Seems like he may just work in retail, and was looking at it in the back room. I'd love if some leaks came from this though.

I kinda wish Amazon didn't ship my Killzone already just in case they actually do the Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal.

Is there anyway you guys think I'll be able to get one the day of launch? I won't have money until Friday at like 1 am ;-;

If I can I'm going to get in on that Target B2G1 free deal.

Right now I'm going to get Killzone, Battlefield 4, and a third title but I'm not sure which.

I was thinking Knack or possibly the new Need for Speed? The thing is that the last cars vs. cop cars Need for Speed I liked was Most wanted that was released at the beginning of last Gen. The car chases in that open world were extremely fun. None of the games since have really captured that.

Also the last and only Battlefield I've played was 1942. I don't know what to expect.

Sure, it can happen a few different ways. One is by living in the right location where you could wait in line at a non midnight launch location. Another is the willingness to spend more than MSRP. Success depends on you.

Drop by a store that isn't doing a midnight launch. Seems like Target and non-24 hour Wal-Marts will be a good source of extra units.

Better line up early in the week.

Would a gamestop midnight release have any that aren't for preorder?

Because I would get paid around like 1am-1:30am. I feel like I could do it then.

If not I'll have to come back in the morning or something.

I'm REALLY glad I don't have to deal with the logistics of a midnight launch, but with my gf out of town this weekend, and not having my class or job this friday I'm 5% jealous of the people who will be getting it 12-18 hours before me.

Target is't doing a midnight launch? Does that mean I will be in a big ass line with people who don't have preorders just so I can get my buy 2 get 1 free deal?

Does anyone know the next gen games you can upgrade for 10 bucks?

I believe it is just AC4, BF4 & Ghosts. I am probably forgetting one.

Have mine pre-ordered and paid off, and unfortunately have to work on Fri and Sat. Not excited for that! But, I will be playing the hell out of it whenever I can!

By then they'll all be gone. Best bet is morning stores.

A GameStop midnight would be a bad place to try around that time, just because the chances of them being done and closed by 1am are high. Could try the day of the launch though! I'd recommend calling your local GS store(s) and seeing what they are doing for their midnights, though, just to be safe.

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to get burned by Knack. I've seen a fair amount of excitement, but from the demo I've played and the footage I've seen it just screams mediocrity. I could see kids liking it, at least.
 
From what I've seen a lot of the bigger stores are getting like 30 units for launch day buyers. Also not all stores did pre-orders so their whole stock could be launch day. Talking about 100 or more units. Just gotta line up at the right time.

lol wonder if this was Target also?

Well, time to test Yoshida and see if posting the unboxing and everything else online gets you in trouble.

Not around here, town of 200K. Best I have heard from employees is 15 extras at a Fry's about 15 miles from where I live.

Best buy had 10, walmart had 0, gamestop has 0, etc. etc.

I will call again monday or tuesday of next week to see if I get any different answers. I am hoping Sony surprises these places and sends out a ton more units then they expected to get.

I regret not preordering. Is there anywhere you guys think I will be able to grab one close to launch?

Yes. Sony is intentionally withholding some stock so that people can have units to buy "off the shelves." So, keep a close eye on stores, and you should find one not too soon after launch.

On launch day itself, I would check places like K-Mart. Every time I fail to pre-order a hot item, K-Mart is usually the place that still has some in stock

Thats what I was thinking.

Beautiful OT Amir0x. Way to go for us EU peasants. I've never been so excited for a console in my life. Good times ahead.

Greatness arrives. Indeed GAF!

what's that from? It reminds me of dreams I've had!

Anyway, I'm happy for everyone who is getting the PS4 soon.

El Torro's also got amazing talent I'd love to be able to do that kind of work.
