haha, with a club card youd be able to get free launch night snacks and drink out of the points youd make. Double bonus.

Mines in a fairly secluded area, get a free PS4 and a packet of chocolate digestives.

I'm implying this probably isn't a safe idea if your store is like mine.

When GTA 5 launched a person got stabbed in Collindale on their way home. I know it was Asda but remember to stay safe on your way home. When the resale value of the console is high, opportunists come out.

I was thinking of going out to look for one, since I live about 5 minutes away from Cardiff Extra, but even then I don't want to chance it walking home. I bet the local scumbags will be out on patrol tonight.

I think I'll be heading to the Tesco Extra near me tonight, just a 10 minute walk away. Anyone got an idea of around what time I should get there for to make sure I get a console?

West London. It's not far at all. Nearest Asda is 24 mins by car, same with some of the Tescos. My local Tescos is like 10 mins.

I'm getting it from a different shop anyway :P.

Really, 9? Hm. I think I'll be doing this.

I said I wasn't going to buy one, and I detest scalpers...but I'm so broke, I need to give this a chance. Even just a fifty quid profit is enough.

Lets hope I don't get robbed.

Hahaha well. At least I'm guaranteed a profit that way. And I get to play on it first too!

I will still hold out for figures elsewhere first.

Awww, the one nearest my place isn't on a list. Grabbing a PS4 at midnight on Old Kent Road sounded like a great plan.

Well I've called a few Tescos and people already are queuing! Asda say no queues or anything yet. Neither stores confirming how much stock though...

It'd be hilarious if Tesco has like 10 and Asda 50.

No problem, you can get one with all the trimmings for the low low price of £849.99 at Zavvi.

Closest Tesco store with a PS4: 1.67 miles.

Still buying a WiiU instead because I live life on the edge.

The way I see it.

Go to shop buy PS4 - go to CEX and sell it for £70 profit, go to store buy another PS4 - go to another CEX (some cities have a few around - Manchester has 2 within 5 minutes of each other) and sell it for £70 profit.

Take the £140 profit and buy a Wii-U, or if you have access to a couple more CEX stores do it a few more time and get a free PS4 with all the profit.

I've just checked the Tesco Extra in Sheffield and there's nobody queuing yet. They told me that they got 12 Xbox Ones for non-pre orders and people were queuing from around 9pm. Maybe the PS4 will be the same? I'm gonna set off at 8pm just in case.

That's okay if you can find PS4s to sell. I think they're going to be very scarce.

One of my friends has been at his local Tesco(Hull) since 11;00am & he's 1st in line, he said they have 50 non-preorder PS4's available, that's more than I thought there would be.

I was gonna swing by just to pick up a red dualshock 4 since my PS4 is waiting for me in the states, but this'll be interesting to see. The two Asdas (Handsworth and Chaucer Road) are doing midnight releases as well.

Is that a big Tesco Extra? Hoping the Tesco near me gets the same amount or more!

I finish work at 10 (..in a Tesco selling no PS4s) and depending on how I feel I might go out and chance the nearest Tesco + ASDA to see if they have any left/queues.

I was going to hold off but I'm reluctantly getting swept up in the hype.
