Drove by a few stores for the PS4 launch.. I'm surprised tbh

Do people not realize that the United states is in a recession? Half the people in line for the ps4 are scalpers, the other half are playstation die hards. Neither console is going to be hard to find. People Iwork with seem content with keeping their current console. Here around the Akron Ohio area, Lockheed/Martin just closed a plant with 400 jobs lost. I doubt game consoles are on their minds. All I'm saying is I doubt these launches are going to be as big as people think. Apple is really the only company that can create this hype on a consistent basis.

Yes of course there isnt much hype surrounding the PS4. The general public know that Xbox One will be the best console!

I suppose most people just order stuff online? And I assume most people who havent preordered their console are waiting for Black Friday to go all in.

I'm in that boat, I got a PS4 on Amazon this morning after the PS4 event and I plan on slapping it on Craigslist to get 50-100 bucks for it.

i dont know about where u live but here bestbuy had over 200 perorders and 20 walkin,gamestop over 100 preorders and 12walkin ....walmart 32 preorders and 9 for walkin sounds good to me

Yeah, I don't know how one person saying there were a couple of people at the launch means failure. From what I gather online (and have seen in person), this thing seems to be a hot item.

Still curious if it will be available anywhere today.

Somehow, I don't believe you.

Funny that you expect other people to believe you though on just your word. You might be right that his statement is BS since he's a fanboy but still you should be able to see the hypocrisy of it.

Are you talking to tormy or Stormy?

Not at all. I didn't want to search the internet for a eight year old article. Little different there.

Yep, my box is within 15 miles of my current location and slowly heading in my direction. I waited in the cold for the wii launch, and I will never do that again.

Stormy, this is a continuation from a different thread.

A lot of respect for doing field research for a SW thread!!!! More posters should do that.

But you seem to think you remember it just fine, so it shouldn't be that hard to find right?. Still the point is that if you expect others to just take your word for it you shouldn't just blow others off at least not without sounding like a hypocrite. Why does Tormentos have a reason to lie? Oh yep because he's a fanboy. Which is the exact same reason you would have to lie. But whatever it's OT.

I think that some places are going to be full and others are not (just like will happen with the XBone). With more people ordering their's off the internet it's not surprising that some places are pretty empty even with launch events.
