4,200 GameStop stores holding PlayStation 4 launch events

<< LINK REMOVED >> Wouldn't bank on it... When I asked around in the stores in the UK about dropping in to pick one up some said you may have to wait until January/February to even stand a chance of getting one because demand is so high.

I pre-ordered through the filth that is GAME because I was that desperate to have one in time for Christmas :'(

<< LINK REMOVED >> dont listen to this moron. There WILL be problems with the new consoles, people seem to think that just because its new, it wont have any problems. LOL yeah right. Im not saying ALL of the new consoles will have bugs or hardware issues, but there will be a good majority of them that will, its only a matter of time before they start appearing. And thats where people like us get to laugh at everyone whos going to be spending $400-$500 on the console then another... what $150 to have it "fixed" by Sony?

<< LINK REMOVED >> You mean you forgot to pre order ?

Took in MW3, BO2, Crysis2, Skyrim and 2 older games. They had MW3 used selling for $25 and BO2 selling for $50 used, so I thought I might be able to get a decent amount on this trade, maybe toss in another $20 and get Ghosts. They offered me $14 in trade. No wonder Gamestops are closing all over the country. I will never step foot in one again after that insult.

<< LINK REMOVED >> AMEN

<< LINK REMOVED >> Arbor that's why I don't go there. The best place to buy used games is #1 gamefly if you are a member - they give 10% off 1 yr members, a 5 dollar coupon every 3 months and free shipping. Last week I picked up Far Cry 3 for 4.23 Also all the games have the DLC / codes instact as if they are new. And if you get lucky and get a new game shipped (usually ships the day before they are offically released), you can buy it for like 45 bucks. I got Skyrim this way 2 years ago. Bascially a brandnew game never used with a brandnew box.

#2 Ebay / Craiglist

The last time I went to the mall to buy games was in like 2003 where I picked up a used copy of RE:CV for the dreamcast for 7 or 8 bucks at EB.

BTW there is an Arborvitae tree growing outside of my apartment complex. Imgaine that.

Why do people bitch about Gamestop so much? We all know their trade-in / store credit / cash is a rip-off. But you should know that going in because Gamestop is essentially a video game pawn shop.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Walmart is open 24 hours. You can hang out inside by the tvs.

<< LINK REMOVED >> You can always run in place to practice for the Sonic-sprint you will be doing after you buy your PS4 to make sure you don't get mugged. That will keep your toasty.

@UnstoppableKARL

Yea, thats why you be smart and preorder from a Gamestop thats inside of a mall, if a mall gamestop is available in your area.

<< LINK REMOVED >> They arent allowed to do that.

<< LINK REMOVED >> No retailer can force you to buy anything. You've been played.

What country do you live in? Because here in the good ol' US of A it's 3 days. On the west coast of USA it's exactly 3 days or 73 hours or 4376 minutes or 262550 seconds!

<< LINK REMOVED >> Go along anyway, you never know, you might be lucky and grab one. Retailers always have a couple spare!

<< LINK REMOVED >> I used to work retail. I sure dont miss the holiday rush.

<< LINK REMOVED >> She's bricking it! Hundreds of customers with their noses pushed to the door like rabid zombies, eager, just itching to get in. Yeah she's bricking it.
