PS4 Pro boxes getting prepped

Has anyone tried lying to the people at Wal-mart telling them you are a game reviewer & you need it before release date so you can have the reviews up on the release date?


Just putting it out there

Well if you're a reviewer you'll get one from Sony, even bloggers and youtubers get them for free. :/

Why would that be their problem? If anyone is actually a certified reviewer, they would be able to get one through proper channels.

But does the person at Wal-mart know that? tell them you're a freelance game reviewer & you need that PS4 Pro. cry if you have to,

Well yeah why not, there's nothing to lose anyway. :)

Has anyone suggested just outright stealing one? I mean, yes, we're talking about committing a crime, but I want to be very clear, that it would mean a lot to people in this thread.

I'm not suggesting that of course... That would be wrong... Certainly don't do that...

But seriously, don't do that.

I don't think that would work. And, the person that you trick into breaking the street date could get fired.

If a man was to steal a ps4 to play his games, that it okay in the eyes of the lord. But stealing a pro to play his games in 4k would be a sin.

It's only stealing if you leave the store. I say you just move into Walmart & hook the PS4 Pro up to their best 4K TV & live there until the PS4 Pro is available to buy.

Just put the final gift cards in my Pro order, I'm all set. Now to dread existence until Thursday :^)

I felt bad enough playing as a customer who is confused about the street date.

It was so luxuriously heavy. I was awkwardly lifting one side of the box after the lady crushed me. It wasn't meant to be.

I'm going to miss this thread...
 
Got an email from Amazon UK telling me that because I ordered a Pro I can get cheap copies of Dishonored 2 and COD and a free copy of The Last of Us... with no way of redeeming TLOU... Especially since Amazon itself doesn't sell TLOU for PS4. Very odd, talking to their customer service now.
 
It's too bad they aren't putting this out Tuesday, considering I just finalized my plans to buy and play Tomb Raider all day after voting instead of going to work. Poor planning, Sony.

Careful with that, i paid my psvr off with a combo of cc and gift cards back in April...got the release day confirmation in July and they screwed my release day delivery, double check with chat yours ain't fkd up!

Are you suggesting it was too heavy to get away with? Maybe go get a wagon first, or a bike with a large carrying rack. Once again, am I suggesting you compound your stealing with more stealing? Of course not. I'm just asking questions.

Germany reporting in!

Got mine 20 minutes ago

You see, Tarkus? Other people are stealing them already. They're already 20 minutes from the scene of the crime. Why not you?

Its not stealing if you leave the money somewhere in the shop ;)

Here goes attempt #2 at another walmart
Good luck, lol.
So chances on my Walmart selling these when I get off of work today? In Atlanta, Ga
99.8% chance they wont.
Why? The customer is always right. You have to create the confusion to get your foot in the door.
No no no no no no no no no no.

Absolutely won't work. The associate is likely to feel some pity and won't sell it, or won't sell it and laugh about it later. :P

I know you're joking, but the employee isn't going to break the street date and risk being fired for that.

Thank you.

I mentioned it earlier, but as someone who works full time in the Electronics department at one of WalMart's biggest competitors, there is a 99.8% chance of failure. The employee isn't going to sell it, especially when its a highly sought out device with a date for sale in their inventory system...

Also, any PS4 Pro's that were on the sale floor in the case were likely removed and placed back in the stock room. I'm not looking to crush dreams or be mean, because I want one just as much as you guys...but lets be real here. We will all have to wait until November 10th.

It says it's arriving on the 10th so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've never had an issue with Amazon and pre-orders yet I've never pre-ordered with just gift card balance!
 
Where do you live? I've never had any luck with stores with breaking street dates. They are usually well informed here about release dates etc.^^

Got it from a small shop around Düsseldorf.

No need for all your hate, I hate myself enough for going mostly digital ...

Trust me there is people playing the PS4 Pro right now as we type who know someone at Wal-mart lol
 
Some first impressions:

- until now it's very quiet
- the physical power/eject buttons are strange, it's some sort of flexible plastic that bends when you press it
- Titanfall in 4K (or checkerboard whatever) and hdr looks really nice!
- my psn download speeds are terrible


Right now I'm loading infinite/modern warfare and ratchet, guess I will start downloading uncharted later.
Depending how long it takes I will post some more impressions later or tomorrow morning

You don't have an SSD by chance?

I recommend taking comparison screenshots of games in the 4K and 1080p modes! That'd be the best thing you could start doing game wise if you don't have a capture setup! Looking forward to your impressions!
