PS4 Uber alles

We’ve got less than two weeks to go until we get our hands on the PlayStation 4, but around the world, Sony has been shipping the console out to eager European adopters. While the Italians got a star-studded show in an Assassin’s Creed arena, the Germans did things by the book. With a very, very long line.

Outside a Berlin venue, thousands of ze Chermans queued up to get their hands on the PS4. See for yourself:

Naturally, stock ran out before people, leaving a bunch of Germans miffed about the fact that they spent the night standing outside in the cold for nothing. Still, it looks like the Germans clearly do love their Spielestazion.

          Not many people can fly kick through a windscreen, roll away and then still walk away like nothing happened

    I heard Sony gave the people that didn’t get the consoles a free major PS4 game.

    So how long before opening time (08:00) do you guys reckon I need to stand outside the local Makro to get my hands on the Killzone bundle? From the night before?? I wanted to rock up at 07:30 and hopefully there will be no line…

      Which Makro?

      I’d say 06h00 to be safe

        Thanks 🙂 Makro at Springfield, Durban (though I live in Hillcrest)

          Rather be safe and be early. And bring along a baseball bat to keep the rabble away.

          Or better, buy a PC!

          😛

            Thx 🙂 Maybe it must be 06:00. Darn. At least not an all-nighter. If anybody knows of a better or similar deal elsewhere, even online pre-order, that would be cool (my searches are to no avail)

          Can imagine the Makros @ Springfield & Amanzimtoti will be nuts either way.

      Imagine that, a bunch of gamers lurking outside a Makro, banging against the glass, screaming for their PS4s…. 😀

          I don’t know about this launch…. I think I might stick to my original plan and wait for Watch Dogs to come around!! Hopefully I can get it in a bundle deal… Will suffer through Fifa 14 on PS3 till then…

            Cool, I just never had a day one console in my life. It’s silly but I just need to do it.

            Sometimes you just need to. I understand.

            Me neither… And since this is predicted as the last generations of consoles, this might be our only chance.
