Would be awesome if they got Banderas for the Spanish launch.

EU is going to be crazy. Sony has done well leading into this launch. Now it's time to see numbers on the board.

Never catching me out in the cold like that though.

I watching the live stream. Pretty lame but it looks like there are many german b-list celebrities.
Right now they have Felix Baumgartner on stage(the guy who jumped from space).


Also the most famous german LetsPlayers are presenting the whole thing, so there will probably be a lot of people be there for those guys.

You can't really compare a Saturn (something like a Best Buy in the US) with the Sony Centre

It's great to see PS4 starting off so strong!

One retailer says there's gonna be 'war' in brick and mortar stores.

Holy Fuck.

Donner und Blitzen! The Fourth Reich is upon us!

The most popular store in Portugal announced this week they will have 50 bundles of PS4+KZ at midnight in one store in Lisbon to people that didn't preordered. They are also giving out a free PS4 to the person that wins a FIFA 14 PS4 tournament that only allows a very limited of participants. They received more than 500 applications.

But yes that's free so everyone wants one, but for that 50 bundles available? Today they had to ask for police reinforcement because on the afternoon it started to arrive groups of people from Lisbon and even Porto to a point where there are a lot more people already waiting (6 hours before midnight) than the consoles available.

It's going to be a mess and a potential security risk.

Any links to streams? The Euro launch hype is amazing. Want to relive that again even though I've had my PS4 for 2 weeks :P

Are they rapping about ROFLcopters? xD

I own all three consoles but honestly speaking, PS4 to me feels more of a next-gen console or a more noticeable jump than xbox one.

Does that make sense?

Xbox One just seems to be trying to do a bit of everything and doesn't do any of it well.

You're also forgetting about the potential boys and girls that receive a PS4 for Hanukkah this week.

PSN is going to be worse than LIVE was in 2007.

It's clear that with the 40% quote, Microsoft is aiming to take over the substantial Nintendo mindshare from last gen now that Nintendo is pretty much a non-factor with the WiiU.

They won't get it, though. As far as consoles go, it's going to be all Sony here. Even with the FIFA deal in place, I foresee something closer to PS2 era-domination incoming.

The US Launch was way more appropriate. Random concert with this random girl in the band with no mic acting all gangster.

Also, why do people wear sunglasses at night?

Funny thing is, I didn't even knew Microsoft had a special launch event.

Why the hell did they let Mc Fitti on the stage.. he is so whack

There's a YOLO song in Germany? Some band is singing it in the stream.

French release will be more interesting. We're generally a lot less disciplined than the Germans like you can see in the PS2 video, it has potential to be fun :p

I would go ona riot if I had to listen to this idiot and he stands between me and my playstation 4

Watching the stream, I wanna see seeed!
