I can only imagine the amount of bloodshed that could be with people rushing in guns ablazing trying to get it in the first hour. Teeth will be gnashed, fingers broken, strangulation, cats and dogs living together, MASS HYSTERIA!!

Well that could be just a gross generalization...:D

ZBlacktt3887d ago

Expect riot police to be on scene with taser guns a ready.

Eonjay3887d ago

Gamespot manager said they will have full police detail on premises for midnight launch.

I am ready to run with the wolves!

JoGam3887d ago

I have two from Amazon but I may still show up to a midnight Launch just for the excitement.

Sitdown3887d ago

I have one with Amazon, and one with Best Buy...... thinking about going at midnight to make sure a mistake is not made.

FITgamer3887d ago

They will be at some stores. I was living in Tucson when the PS3 launched. Not only did people get trampled when the doors opened, a guy got shot in the parking lot for his PS3. Craziness.

AlexanderNevermind3887d ago

This is where I have my pre-order. I've never taken off work for a game/system launch but am very tempted to do so for this one.

TekoIie3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

Get your anti taser uniform ready! https://www.google.co.uk/se...

0ut1awed3887d ago

All that craziness won't be around like the 360/PS3, at least not at Best Buy.

Best Buy learned their lesson and they've been taken preorders. None of this stand in line, first come first serve, camp in a tent craziness.

Thomaticus3887d ago

there won't be any tasers used... I think they going for live rounds.

mikeslemonade3887d ago

I camped out for PS3 but no plans for PS4. I'm either getting old or people are getting crazier these days.

miyamoto3887d ago

Yup, there will be blood!

KazHiraiFTW3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

Fitgamer: Only in USA.

AlexanderNevermind: Please do not take a day off work for the new consoles. This generation is not the same as previous ones. Much weaker hardware relative to the new technology that's available, and I fear it may be a waste and impact your career in a negative way.

HiddenMission3887d ago

@r1sh12

Get your facts straight kid look at all of the controls those countries have over their people...you don't have rights their and if the people wanted to stand up against their governments what are they going to use...bats and knives.

There is a reason why the US allows it's people to carry guns because if the government got out of control/too currupt we could take it back...how you going to stand up to police and military without a gun.

Aside from that you think removing guns from regular peoples hands is going to stop someone who wants to get a gun from getting a gun...at least when regular people have guns they have a way of defending themselves from those that have one and that have ill intents.

You should go hug a tree because when shit hits the fan your the type of cat that will be looking for those that have guns to protect you...!

ohiostatesman3886d ago

I like the Xbox One booth for Best Buy so much more. Looks for classy and stylish.

Carheadbutt3887d ago

Sounds like a normal black friday for them

Eonjay3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

Mass Hysteria is kinda light for Black Friday. Its basically the one day where you can walk into a store and it feels like an active battlefield.

Black Friday is the only day you can legitimately die by stampede in a store.

DJMarty3887d ago

@Carheadbutt - Only in America, as it's full of gun crazy nobs.

MWong3887d ago

NEVER GO TO BEST BUY ON BLACK FRIDAY!!! It's dangerous, I was working there when Pokemon Diamond & Pearl came out. That was a massacre, I hope GameStop doesn't get crazy.

hellvaguy3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

@ DJ

In your ignorant liberal view of guns, there has been few if any, black friday sale store involving a gun and def not a permit holder. Nice try pal but you faceplanted big time. If more law abiding citizens carried guns, the world would be much safer.

bednet3887d ago

@Hellvaguy

"If more law abiding citizens carried guns, the world would be much safer."

Right! This makes perfect sense!

/s

r1sh123887d ago

@Hellvaguy..
So all law abiding citizens in the US do not shoot people for no reason.
Like that crazed Naval/ Army guy a couple weeks ago.
Or Zimmerman - who clearly wanted to chase after that kid.

Best way to put this:
Every country doing better than the US (Economy, jobs, life style etc..)do not allow guns for citizens.
E.g Australia, Germany, UK (to an extent), China.
And the US owe China all the money anyway since they borrowed from them.

Its like saying only law abiding citizens should drive cars, but dont forget Laura Bush killed a guy.
(Family guy reference).

Yeah I hope no one gets froggy Nov 15th! I'll drag a mofo on the side of the car all the way home.

1OddWorld3887d ago

I will be picking mine up as well on the 15th at Best Buy... Cant wait for some one to act squirrely.

KwietStorm_BLM3887d ago

I'll instagram it all while I walk to the customer service desk and pick up my preorder.

AbortMission3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

I remember watching the news on the PS3 release and how long the lines were at Best Buy. I also remember hearing about people being held at gun point for their PS3s Lmao some people

aceitman3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

@ abortmission I see y u have 2 bubbles u seem to think people being held up at gun point for their ps3 is funny, I find that sad that u do. I hope another one of ur bubbles pop.

ipach3887d ago

ps4's are so much cheaper than most guns. people and their bass-ackwards priorities.

Lykon3887d ago

that's horrible ! is it the gibs me dat gansta types we read about or is it ordinary gamers with guns?

Cats and dogs living together :)

i love the Ghostbusters reference.

titans99993887d ago

Not me, I already have mine bought and paid for!

Fairchild Channel F3887d ago

@ashiksorel

It's going to be a launch of biblical proportions!

We're talking Old Testament here. Real wrath of God type stuff.....

BoriboyShoGUN3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

Also guys be smart if your not paid off DONT BRING CASH! And bring something to hide your system in when you get home, especially if u live in some apartments. You dont want every goon watching you bring it into the house thats just was to easy gents.
*people will be watching that night believe that!

solar3887d ago

i know right? let's hope someone gets assaulted or killed over a piece of plastic from a company that only wants your money! how more awesome can it get!

MAULxx3887d ago

I picked up my first day 1 console, the 360 at a midnight launch at GameStop. It was a fun & memorable experience. Brought it home, stayed up all night.I'm doing it again with the PS4. GameStop said they may have cops there this time. Not a bad idea.

AngelicIceDiamond3887d ago

There it is.

Wow, Feb 21 was so long ago lol.

NaAsAr3887d ago

I remember that last part from ghostbusters. lol sorry, off topic. ;)

Timmey3887d ago

You are quoting Dr.Peter Venkman, aren't you? :D

lilbrat233887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

I hope they have separate lines for those who preorder and those that didn't. When they did the PS3 I had preordered through gamestop and was the first one in and had no issues since everyone was at work.LOL

lex-10203886d ago

You wouldn't be that off if it's anything like the PS2 launch, which judging from hype its bigger. People died at the Ps2 launch. Litterally old ladys were shot for a PS2.

majiebeast3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

Those metal sheet things that hold the posters look terrible. I dont know bestbuy do they always use such terrible material to show off stuff? Is it a trift store?

kazuma9993887d ago

Agreed, getting mine at gamestop 5 min drive down the road :O already paid for with like 7 games.

Abriael3887d ago

Looking at the Xbox One display, that comes from a different store, looks like it's a standard.

majiebeast3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

Yeah and that display looks terrible aswell. I have worked in retail and if we showed off their wares like that we would get scolded by representatives like Samsung,Miele and others. It just looks hideous.

Abriael3887d ago

I do tend to agree, but from what I know Best buy is not exactly a luxury retail chain right?

I'm not American, but that's what I hear from this side of the pond :D

rainslacker3887d ago

It's par for the course there. It's a major retail electronics store selling everything from computers to appliances to DVD's and CD's. Everything is metal gray and blue.

Best Buy itself isn't bad though. Prices are competitive. I wouldn't really call it thrift. Unless something is on sale, it is usually at MSRP, but you can haggle with them, although it's not something they advertise and depends on the manager. Sometimes I can find good old games in their clearance bin cheap, but not often.

Lovable3887d ago

Waiting for a youtube video of a guy who will buy a console and smash it in front of everyone in line.

ziggurcat3887d ago

"Waiting for a youtube video of an idiot who will buy a console and smash it in front of everyone in line."

fixed

Lovable3887d ago

They will definitely get a big return from ad pay in youtube, so win win

Eonjay3887d ago

I hope someone makes a video of that guy getting his ass whipped... post that on YouTube.

tigertron3887d ago

Yeah, I think it's pretty retarded that someone would go to all that trouble of smashing up a new console. Is it for some laughs and hits? that one launch console could have gone to a good home with someone who actually wanted it.

BX813887d ago

Why does it matter? He paid for it why can't he punt the damn thing? I personally wouldn't but what are you gonna do?

_QQ_3886d ago

@tigertron, he would make probably twice as much in return...

s8anicslayer3887d ago

That will be geargeenoob smashing his PS4.

N4g_null3887d ago

Ah thats cheap come on! Some blue led and glass would go a long way here.

Riderz13373887d ago

GREATNESS AWAITS!

Love that slogan.

I mean, GTA V has pretty much stayed in the top 10 for the past 3 generations, which is absolutely nuts.

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan4h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin2h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_1h ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

-Foxtrot18h ago

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

ThinkThink10h ago

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

Grilla3h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5233h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin2h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-641h ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

excaliburps4h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla3h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

P_Bomb4h ago

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing693h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip1h ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.
