That was amazing. Sony is really on top of their game.
Media Markt in Weiterstadt, Germany, 24k inhabitants.
If that's the turn out for such a small town demand must be through the roof.

lol, posted the pics from Media Markt on Facebook, friend of mine (bought a One last week) posted: "Wow, they're still in line for Xbox?"
Best comment I've seen all day

To be fair, it's very close to a bigger city with a population of 150k.

This launch is gonna be huge. Can't wait to see the numbers.
You need this file:
http://deu01.ps4.update.playstation...18a99ff70ce3193aeab3e95160379d6/PS4UPDATE.PUP
Save it like this:
To install it, turn off your PS4 completely (no lights), insert the USB-stick and reboot while holding the power button until it reboots into Safe Mode.
Choose the option "Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)"
I have downloaded the firmware, but I'm only going to bother putting it on a stick and using it in the PS4 if there is something wrong with PSN tomorrow. The internet is so fast, it's probably quicker to download than faffing with a USB stick for the sake of a 300Mb download.
Surprised at how much buzz there is around this console. Just had a chef from one of my aunties restaurants ring me and beg me to get him a PS4 (obviously he'd pay for it). Said he needed it for his kid. Told him the only thing he could do was queue up early in the morning or at one of the midnight launches. He's now in some queue in Bristol hoping to try his luck at a walk in buy.
Mental. Guy can barely speak English lol.

Me too, from Amazon. Fairly certain I'm not getting my PS4 tomorrow at this point, everyone else's console seems to have been received by DPD and mines hasn't.
Absolutely gutted
At least it's not Yodel.
He'll return with a PS3 and be fucking chuffed with it.
Media Markt in Weiterstadt, Germany, 24k inhabitants.
That's a small city besides Darmstadt (population of 150k) so that's why there are so many people. I heard that quite a few fellow versity students planned to go there.
link does not exist?

Its way less impressive if you know that its the only Media Markt out of the 250 Stores in germany that do a midnight sale. People sure come form all over the place to this store.
Still demand is insane on the PS4

Well... After playing on the new beast all day, I'm very impressed! Swapped my new HDD in, installed the firmware in a few minutes and got set up.
I had a look around the menus at first and they're very quick to navigate and look great.
I then went on Killzone, it's a beautiful game and plays good too but the non-stop respawning enemies until you hack alarms is a bit poor.
I uploaded a few videos and screenshots to Facebook, the screenshots turned out pretty good but the videos were pretty bad, it looked kinda PS2.5 to me when I watched them back on my laptop and watching them in HD.
The video recording feature is very confusing and I didn't record anything I'd intended to record.
I then went on Resogun and I was kinda meh about it, it looked pretty but I wasn't impressed. I persevered though to record some footage for Facebook and it really surprised me, I actually started really enjoying it as the difficulty increased and it grew to be very addictive, I've been on it the past 5 hours or so! Haha.
I haven't tried Contrast yet.
My FIFA14 and AC4 are coming tomorrow, I can't wait!
First impressions of the control pad weren't great either, it was definitely an improvement over the DS3 but it felt kinda strange too and not as ergonomic as I thought it would be, my impression of that soon changed too!
After a while of playing and getting used to it, it just fell excellent, it was really comfortable and the accuracy and feel of the sticks were awesome.
The buttons are very responsive and the speaker is just unbelievable, the quality of it is very surprising, it's very loud and crystal clear, I had a huge grin on my face every time it came to life!
The triggers and shoulder buttons feel great, can't fault them, I changed the control method on Killzone before I started to R1 to shoot as opposed to shooting with the trigger as that is what I'm used to and is the sensible thing to do as there's less travel with the shoulder buttons than triggers.
I still think it's a tad too small though, after going from the DS3 with the bulky comfort pack on, it seems a bit too small still, but a definite improvement in size over the DS3, hopefully they'll release a comfort pack for it for those of us with yeti hands.
The console itself looks stunning as I'm sure you all know already, my only minor gripe is that it was very noisy when installing the games from disc and downloaded games. Possibly because I put a 7200rpm 1tb HDD in it. It's not as loud as an original 360 but louder than a newer 360 and PS3.
I only hope they give us the option of changing the light strip colour. I wish it was blue all the time.

I think that's the reaction I get every time I see City Link

ugh PSA? no thanks those "shows" are so full of cheesy stuff it's un-watchable
His son won't lol.
At least it's not... oh wait... I'm the unlucky guy who got stuck with 'em.
Good job Finland, do it like civilized people.
I had to line up here in central Canada 2 weeks ago and spent almost two hours freezing my ass off outside. It was a bit warmer than usual for that time of year, but was still a bit below freezing so standing for that long... it sucked.
