      Consumer slaves who would have thought each PlayStation after was drip feeding g performance to justify the pro. Or limiting units at launch to push the great reset adigital on,y version which loses 75 percent value on resale plus faking ther own scalper terrorist culture to make more and limit realisation the ps5 is just a ssd

      Obviously back then, only delivery was still new. Even when GTA Vice city was released, the idea of buying online and having a game posted was something very new to many. The first time I bought a game online and mainly went that way was second games like xbox or PS2, was on Amazon less than ten years after the PS2 launched. I bought a preowned PS4, so obviously that was online some years ago. But yes, PS2 was quite different, it was the change in how games were, and would be playable or some modes like online.

      The difference is probably that only those people who were really in the know would know that a store is hosting a midnight release. Just like the first guy said, he found out about the launch from a gaming magazine. Nowadays there are too many ways to spread info out there, it's both a good and a bad thing. Personally I couldn't enjoy these days myself because I barely had any money. 😅

      @@Voltomess Indeed ! In fact if I remember correctly, they had 41 or 43 units in store. I knew because I went to the electronic section the evening before the launch and that's what the lady told me. So I woke up at 3h AM to go to a Walmart that was already full at 4h Am, then I travelled another 20 km to get to a 2nd Walmart in the suburbs and got in line at position 18. It was the first time we we're doing a line to get a console, lots of late people we're pissed. And when you got out of the store with your box, YOU RAN your ass off because all the pissed people we're still in the parking lot watching the lucky ones get out with their PS2.

      Back when you could actually be one of the first people to get something, and there wasn't a curated cadre of corporate sponsored "influencers" who got everything first and saturated social media with it before you even got a chance to try it out. There was an organic excitement there that's been killed by the modern marketing machine. Social media should have been a way to get people's takes on things, boots on the ground, grass roots style, but it has just turned into algorithmic manipulation so that guys in suits can try to control what you see and hear.
