Freely translated by me - if old don't send me out into the cold...

Long queues are building up at the Sony store in Berlin in preparation for the midnight sale.

Berlin has PlayStation fever: Long queues are building up at the Sony store at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin in preparation for the midnight sale. It's only 3pm and there are already more than 1000 fans gathered there waiting at temparatures around 8°C.

For comparison: Last Thursday there were around 200 fans waiting at 11pm to get the first Xbox One consoles from the Saturn store at the Alexanderplatz...

This is pretty impressive. Sony is going to do great in Europe.

They have 1000+ PS4s at a single store?

Xater · (11-28-2013, 04:59 PM)

Compared to that the Xbone launch felt like it came and most people didn't really care.

most likely pre-orders, and you can stack 1000 PS4s nicely with that thin box :)

I'd hope so or there will be riots...

Begaria · (11-28-2013, 05:00 PM)

It'll be a damn shame if Sony only has about a million consoles to go around in those 30 territories. Whatever they ship, they will sell.

People lining up on Thanksgiving instead of spending time with their family. Brits need to learn to prioritize.

I, for one, welcome back our Sony overlords to their Holy Land.

Jesus fuck. I hope I don't walk into bullshit lines when I go out to pick up my PS4 tonight.

they better have separate lines for pre-orders, imagine the riot if they mistakenly sold pre-ordered units to walk-ins

Two ridiculous errors in one post make me think it isn't serious.

edit: Thank god for that!

TJUK · (11-28-2013, 05:03 PM)

Over 1000 people waiting by 3pm for PS4.
Last week, only 200 people waiting by 11pm for Xbox One.

Looks like that 5:1 pre-order thing might have some truth to it.

There are 800 PS4s at the Sony Store in Paris (NOT for pre-orders)

I do hope you are joking

If not, there is so much fail in this post

Berlin is in Germany not Britain

And neither Brits or Germans celebrate thanksgiving

Edit: thank god for that lol

They had 444 at the Standard Hotel a few weeks ago, and that combined with the preorders and couple hundred at the Madison Avenue Sony Store added up to about a thousand I guess. Sure they sold out super quick but hey.

WTF is Thanksgiving? Is it like that weird after-dinner ritual you Americans do?

Bedameister · (11-28-2013, 05:04 PM)

8°C? Damn why is it so hot in Berlin.
Really hope all of them will get a console. I would never do such things for a console. To me tomorrow will just be a regular friday.

darkwing · (11-28-2013, 05:05 PM)

there goes the chance of the PSN staying up during the weekend lmao

They should all be inside eating tons of food instead of helping the hungry, poor and sick outside in the cold instead.
