I was in my 3rd year in university, still remember that night I was on my way back to dorm and walked by GameStop. I was so jealous to everyone who's getting ps4 and Xbox one. And now I got a job and I bought it both. But still nothing beats the feeling of being part of the history.
The 227 guy is a liar. I was there with #221 receipt and this guy just cut me and was trying to trade-in his ps3 and was denied. He was asked to queue behind me and thats how he got his 227. I went there at 10PM.
Im not surprised he tried cutting in line or get some cash back for his old junk. Im surprised he didnt try to steal your stuff tho. Thats how them types are.
I was here at this event. Those were the days queuing up for new release stuff. Meeting people who were just as energetic and passionate about the products. Even the Iphone releases were fun to wait in line. It would become an event in itself. Now it's just beat the scalpers online or wait until inventory gets better.
Danny is awesome! This was something that wasn't naturally hilarious but his quips were dead on and made this fun to watch! Also he didn't come off as arrogant which is hard to do with a sarcastic type of humor. Great job Danny!
The presenter was surprisingly funny, subtly taking the piss out of the entire thing. Good job. It's always weird watching american presenters hype up the most mundane things, this guy gave it straight up.
Yehh same tech I was in yr 6 10 years old now I'm 16 and in college ill be 17 when it's out rahhh time flies, and crazy same tech from around 2012, 13 is styll going strong
I was very first in line to get a PS4 at the GameStop at great mall in Milpitas, California on Black Friday of 2013. I remember that the second person to get in line wasn’t until at least 30 minutes later. I waited a total of about 4 1/2 hours for doors to open at GameStop.
I remember going and just walking up and waiting in line, getting the xbox and the week after the PS4 at their midnight launch with no preorder. So easy. My ps5 i didn't sleep for 3 days but got it at launch without preorder. Wasnt easy
I tried to buy a Ps4 today and no where for 50 miles around me had any. Why wouldnt places like Gamestop get a bigger than usual first day supply on a new console? I asked the guy at Gamestop and he acted like they only had a few to sell today and they didnt know when they were getting more. This is a big launch and they're supposed to be a dedicated video game store. They need to step it up.
That's not likely to be the case in the US. To my understanding, brick-and-mortar retailers, such as Best Buy, are allowing customers who pre-ordered the system the ability to pay for the system outright days before the system's release date. Better still, you can schedule the exact hour you'd like to retrieve your system, which I imagine would help thin out crowds.
I went to school and worked on the same street as this Gamestop. That Gamestop is actually pretty legit, they have a basement full of t shirts and other random goodies.
"It's interesting how most of the people we talked to are only getting one or two games..." Is this guy for real?! Those people just spent close to $500-$570 on the console and those 1-2 games (that's including tax). Plus the line up isn't full of "must have" games anyways.
Cornelius Gustafason nothing compared to the $760 I spent on PS3, First game and Blu Ray movie (Superman Returns). I still have the console to this day! In near mint with box (premium backwards compatible 60GB version!
When I picked up my launch day ps5, it was a line of about 30 people who were all turned away due to their being no stock except preorders. I waited for them to leave before going in to retrieve mine. I was checking my rear view mirror on the drive home lol.
PS4 was such a better launch than this year. I remember going to GameStop and leaving within minutes after I got my number. This year was wrecked due to scalping.
Happy that i got my system that night and for everyone else that did...And too all those getting the xbox have fun and get those same feelings we did :)
People keep commenting on that guy looking like a druggy... But did you hear that racist joke about that Asian man "You look tired"? What was he thinking xD
U liked how they had simebody with a Mic, never seen that before. That's why I like midnight launches even though I've never been to one. I just like the atmosphere.

yup
I was in the line that night on November 13, 2013 .

Coming up on a decade since this awesome console was released
Wade is still there with his PS4
There was barely anybody having their console crash though and even if it crashed they would be shipped a brand new one over night so its not that bad
Danny, if I knew you were going to be at the San Francisco PS4 launch night, I would have gladly pre-ordered and waited for you. I love you.
uhhh, that's kinda weird man......
I see Danny O’Dwyer doing a GameSpot video, I click.
I miss the days of seeing him do videos for them...
Just pre order online and get it delivered to ur door on launch day...
