So this is a universal human problem, since they are acting exactly like the Black Friday shoppers in the US.

Ours are slower and have higher displacement.

LOL, fucking animals.

Lol there's literally no deal that can turn me into that. I'd much rather just wait a few months until I can comfortable stroll in a get one

Magnus · Nov 30, 2013

I can't believe the systems are just out in the open like that. No way in Canada man....it's all up on shelves or behind locked doors/cabinets and you ask for it at a counter.

I could not stop trying to follow him with my eyes. It's like he got there first, but panicked lol.

I'm convinced he died.

he ran passed the PS4's because the store stacked PS3's and 4's right next to each other and the boxes look very close.

Wow amazing, thanks for the laugh in an otherwise depressing topic

kick51 · Nov 30, 2013

they just put them out on the floor like any other item and have people run for them?

those store managers are idiots. do a damn ticket system. people are idiots too, but there are ways of managing mass idiocy with a few simple actions

My Black Friday shopping was buying a few games on steam and a few on amazon from the comfort of my home.

Exactly this for me late last night. Decided "why not, sale is on online" lol.

God speed Black Friday Zombies. /salute

Bloody hell, really puts into perspective me pre-ordering one back in July, had it fully paid off by October, and just walking in GAME 9AM in the morning where only 1 person was ahead of me.

Cheers mates for making my Black Friday seem even more calm and organized.

So which one was SmokeyDave?

I think there's a European sense of humor at play here, its funny to see people scramble for stuff.

Honest question, did the Xbox launch go like this in Europe?

When I got my Wii on launch day at Gamestop, they were literally letting 2-3 people into the store at a time, and that's it - they bought their system and left, and then they'd let in 2-3 more.

Gxgear · Nov 30, 2013

What do people have against getting launch games ahead of release, getting a good night's rest, and waking up to your next-gen console right at your doorsteps?

You gotta understand, not a lot of people have the forethought to plan ahead months in advance. I wouldn't be surprised if most of these people didn't even know a PS4 existed until the advertising hit.

The kind of person who pre-orders their system in June during E3 is not an average customer. I mean, these things were available to pre-order for like 2-3 months in the summer and we still got people trampling each other for one.

This is some funny shit. Would be funny if stores *hid* them everywhere in the store for people to find.

I feel sorry for the workers who took the time to actually stack all those boxes up nice and neat.

Simpsons did something like that where the customers ended up tearing the store apart.
