ps4 availability? (cont)

[Rage187]

I bought 7 disc based games the day it launched.

BF4
Ghosts
Knack
NBA 2k14
Killzone
AC
Rivals

I've beaten BF4 and Knack. Should finish KZ next then Rivals. AC will likely rake me awhile.

I have yet to open NBA or Ghosts.

There were 20 or so Xbox Ones for $479 at Costco today in Sunnyvale.. for anyone in the area and looking.

 

[Doppel]

Good ole craigslist. I just got home with a used ps4 and cod ghosts for $400 even.

hahaha, nothing on CL near me is anywhere close to that, you rolled the guy bad. he must have been desperate for meth money.

Wow, already discounting them?

 

[cmdrdredd]

Doesn't costco discount everything like that anyway? I seem to remember PS3 bundles going for cheaper than most places.

Best Buy may have some PS4s in stock this morning according to their ads.

 

[Mide]

Picked up a PS4 at Best Buy this morning

probably MS made a deal with a large retailer like COSTCO is, to make it look for ludracative offering to consumers and boost their sales numbers for a nice surprise to shareholders.. lol

Two people I know picked up a system today from best buy

 

[sswingle]

Local Wal-Mart (small town) had two on the shelf today.

getting annoyed, trying to get a PS4, all my local stores have X-ONE's.. but the ps4's are still black friday.. lines on Sunday to get um before store opened, and gone before i got in.. getting close to saying F-it and going MS this round (the tv and game feature does appeal to me) the $100 more does not.

WHAT? I absolutely LOVE paying $100 more, it's the best part!

 

[KaOTiK]

Walmart made some annoucnement they got a large shipment of PS4's that they are holding till Sunday, I think Best Buy got some more they are holding for Sunday as well.

If you really want one, I suggest waking up a few hours before the store opens and just head up there. Why settle for an weaker system and pay more if it isn't what you truly want to start with.

 

[007ELmO]

lol both systems right now suck comon now let's be frank xD. it's not about weaker or stronger system, sony has some catching up to do - 360 owned everyone last generation.

How come you didn't just pre-order one to begin with?

360 made me hate last gen. The lack of RPG and adventure games is appalling. Almost everything is a shooter, hack and slash, beat em up, or sports oriented. Nearly anything good on 360 is cross platform.

I like stories and epic adventures.

PS3 wasn't much better until the last year or two through. 2013 is certainly going out with a bang.

I was speaking purely from a hardware perspective.

 

[007ELmO]

agreed

 

[cmdrdredd]

This is what I'm asking people.

I pre-ordered both and do not regret buying either. I'm getting many satisfying hours from both consoles.

Owned? Worldwide sales are about even, and in some countries the Xbox brand is non-existent. So if you want to be honest...you have to include that data.

If you read some of the Xbox One thread you'll see some glaring issues with the OS and how it handles party chat, friends, trophies, and other functions that were fine on the 360. Now they don't work right.

The way it's going even 2014 will be good for the PS3 and even 360 owners. Too much of an install base to ignore, along with the fact that many didn't get their PS3/360 until the last year or two (they're still selling well THIS christmas too!).

 

[Sulaco]

There were two on the shelf at my local Meijer tonight. I was tempted to pick one up, but my God I just can't justify it. There's simply nothing worth $400+ right now, and won't be for several months.

 

[Lounatik]

If you have the gumption to wake up really early and have a few wal marts nearby, you may be in luck. I'm a vendor and I'm in them pretty early, like 4-6am, and i always see the electronics being stocked overnight. Walked into one and saw the 4 on the shelf and snagged it. Lady at the register didnt even realize they had one in. I did this last year when the Galaxy Tab 2's were an item and got 2 of them for my kids.

This is probably more of a pain in the ass to do, but you will probably be the only person out there looking for one, not one of a hundred waiting in line.



Peace

Yep, I have been playing PS3 a lot since getting one very recently and expect it will continue to get more attention than PS4 at least a good bit into next year. PS4 has no games. XB1 has no games.

Agree with exdeath on exclusives; the only exclusive lineup worth anything to me on 360 is Halo and even that is hugely overrated IMO. PS3 has the best exclusives.

Yes PS3 definitely has better exclusives but there are a few like Forza which are better than Gran Turismo and this is coming from a lifelong GT fan. Exclusives are why I bought a PS4 as well.

Saw both PS4 and XB1 in stock while visiting Columbus at the target near OSU's campus, I was surprised they had them on the shelf.
