Enjoy next Gen, fellow gamers!

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Finally finished my research paper that was due today. So fucking relieved. Gonna take a nap, watch Shu, laugh at Uncharted in Space, and then Resogun til the early morning.

Life is good.

 

[DUMPTRUXX]

Just got my place in line. #21.

Came home with the little card thingy. They had ~3 extra systems I think? And those people were camped out since way early this morning to get them. They ended up earlier in line than me too, which is kinda lame.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Really irks me that walk ins can be ahead of those that preordered in line.

#first world problems

As petty as it sounds, I would have been first tonight if it wasn't for walk-ins.

 

[Miguel81]

When you get the system, give the r1 button on the DS4 a rigorous test to make sure it doesn't start sticking.

 

[AsianOnRoute69]

Did any of the reviews mention that the power and eject buttons on the console were touch sensitive? I originally thought they were physical buttons until I plugged it in and tried it out.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

That's why I'm sleeping tonight and waltzing in tomorrow morning to get mine. Screw lines.

Yea, I don't know how much longer I can do this. It's cold and I'm tired.

But glorious next generation goodness.... My body NEEDS this.

 

[HamsterPackage]

This. No lines for me thanks.

 

[Uno Venova]

I still expect lines for pickups since I'm going as soon as the store opens, much better than hours before midnight though.

 

[guek]

It came

 

[Thomas_Daly]

you guys are so lucky to get ps4 tomorrow/tonight

happy us launch us gamers

That light above yosp head

Sweet, celestial Shu. He has been blessed by one of the gods himself. Lucky bastard.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Really irks me that walk ins can be ahead of those that preordered in line.

#first world problems

Yeah, that was pretty lame. It doesn't matter at this point though, now I can just walk in at midnight, show my receipt, get my console and get home and play.

 

[Phalanx92]

Number 5 in line waiting outside of gamestop with no pre-order. Waiting for 6pm. Wish me luck GAF.

 

[txag2005]

For those of you picking up at Gamestop tonight who are checking in at 6 pm, what time are you coming back? I know they are supposed to give you a spot in line but I'm not sure if that means I can roll in around midnight or if I need to come early still (10 or 11).

I'm going to aim to be back there at 11:30. Don't think it will be too much of an issue either way but better safe than sorry as they say.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I was just at best buy and there was only 2 people lined up at 4pm.

 

[dmr87]

Everyone going out to fight the crowds/stand in line, make sure to take pictures and/or videos. Was thinking about having a dedicated queue thread but I don't know if that's necessary.

People who are coming in at 6 will get a line number and won't need to come back until midnight to line up in order. Basically first come first serve.

 

[txag2005]

I drove by the best buy across the street before I got to the Gamestop I'm at and there were like six people in line. The suburbs are def where you need to go for this stuff. Best Buys and Gamestops every few miles really decreases how many people go to each one.

Good luck homie. You got this

 

[SRTtoZ]

My haul tonight:

I went to target before going to Gamestop and they still had all the games for B2G1 free, so I picked up NBA2k14, KZSF and NFS, I was hoping they had BF4 but nope, just COD Ghosts and a few other things. I don't even know anything about NFS Rivals but whatever, it was free

Then at Gamestop there were about 30 people when I got there at 5:30, and probably another 30 after me when I left. It seemed to be about a 50/50 preorder to non preorder ratio since I was 30th in line yet my receipt says I'm #14 when we go pick them up tonight. Ready to go! EXCITE!

 

[kinggroin]

No one on line here at GS

Exactly

There is a lot of green in that store.

 

[Joeki11a]

The days of chaotic console launch are over

Thank Amazon for that

 

[CaptNink]

Happy next-gen everyone! It's finally here!!!

Where is this?

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

Really stupid question but I entered my code in Ghosts for the Free Fall map and for some reason I can't find a way to actually download it.

I checked Downloads under notifications but it's not there.

Any ideas?

Reposting this for the new page. It's crazy... It says I have 3 add-ons under the game, but they're simply... not there.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

Reposting this for the new page. It's crazy... It says I have 3 add-ons under the game, but they're simply... not there.

Is it in their "in-game store"? Or maybe they don't have the content on the servers yet.

 

[Raxus]

I paid off my PS4 and I am officially the 3rd person able to pick up my PS4 at midnight.

No need to wait out in the cold!

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

It's not there... I didn't think that it might just not be up yet; definitely a possibility.

 

[spwolf]

yeah, you get the number and go home right? no need to wait in line at all after you get the number... so why are people waiting in line?

 

[melman101]

My Best Buy called me. I said I was going to leave at 9pm. They said my line won't be that long since I pre-ordered and I could come later but they are having giveaways. So I'll still leave at 9pm and see what's up.

 

[SRTtoZ]

People are waiting in line for a number so that later they can just pick it up quick.

 

[Raxus]

Beats me. Maybe they have some extra consoles on sale like best buy?

I saw 2 prior in line to buy at 3 PM at BB but nobody in the reserve line yet (naturally)

 

[tuco11]

#4 at my Gamestop. Inside the mall too. Quick question about buying games on PSN. Can you demo the game before you buy it? I thought I read way back that you would be able to try the game out before you buy it from PSN? ie NBA2K14

thanks!

 

[Suirrad]

Just left LameStop and got my number. Very smooth transaction. I got number 9 so I'm skrrrr8 lol HYPE!

 

[Zen_Arcade]

This. Now all I have to do is go in and show my receipt with the number on it and they'll hand me my PS4.

 

[FINALBOSS]

Wewt I'm unbanned in time for launch.

Got my spot in line. They said to come back at 10, but fuck that. That's just if you wanna win cornball things. We got our numbers, that's my place in line...I'll be back at 11:30-45

 

[spwolf]

i understand that, but why are they still waiting? or is everyone gone?

maybe some stores are not doing numbers for non-preorders?

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I'm at home waiting on my Amazon shipment. I really wonder if Amazon got more units than any other retailer. It would kinda interesting if the days of camping outside of stores were abolished by online sales.

I kind of like "camping" in my house.

 

[Justin]

No one on line here at GS

I'm pretty sure that there are like 3 gamestop designs but is this in Kent, Wa?

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

So happy best buy have separate lines for tonight. Going in at 12 and expect to walk out by 12:15

 

[DietRob]

Yay, just checked my orders again and Amazon was able to ship NBA2k for tomorrow as well. Now all I'm gonna miss is NFS:Rivals

 

[Square Triangle]

I'm undecided on these three:

Battlefield 4
Killzone SF
Assassins Creed IV

I have GS credit that I want to use so the Target deal is no good to me

 

[3rdamention]

Best Buy here in Greenwood Indiana (it is the SouthSide of Indianapolis) has people lined up all the way down the front of one side of the store. Of course they are somewhat spread out, some sitting, some standing. They are not all on top of each other or anything. But there are at least 25- 30 there.



I have my system preordered there. You know what I am doing? Going to BW3 right now to get some wings, have a few brews, watch the first half of the Colts Game. Then I will wonder over sometime after 10pm with my preorder.



They have already sent me 2 emails saying they have my system, so I am not worried at all. I am going to enjoy the night.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Thankfully Walmart is only doing preorders tonight so cant be more than 20 people

 

[kinggroin]

I'm pretty sure that there are like 3 gamestop designs but is this in Kent, Wa?

Saint Cloud, FL


It was packed for the previous gen launches. Maybe gamers in my neighborhood didn't get the memo.

 

[Ilive1up]

so when will we see Smash My PS4 videos?
