I wouldn't want to purchasea a 400 euro piece of sensitive electronica after it's been jumped on by a horde of ravenous people, but maybe that's just me being too sensible here.

Definitely.. Im sure at least a few of those consoles were broken.

haven't they heard of preorders? or is this a sport I don't know about

 

[RaikuHebi]

I never realised the truth of the whole "Us Brits are great at queuing" until now.

Don't read too much into this

In what sense? Pretty sure there was nothing on this scale from the PS3 launch. The PS2 comparisons are becoming truer and truer everyday though.

I suspect it's bit like some retails done preorder by online and delivery only, those are remind stock left for the store display and free to pick.

*ahem*

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Any reports of people getting hurt? I hope nobody got hurt.

 

[RaikuHebi]

*ahem*

 

[Whools]

Makes me laugh until I realise people are seriously hurt over shit like this and I start to contemplate humanity. Then I remember that it's probably not even in the top million shitty things people have done this month and I go back to guiltily laughing

 

[xaosslug]

who else thinks Fallon is gonna talk about this on Monday (unless he's still on vacation)? LOL

 

[Replicant]

It's kinda scary how fast some of these people can run. That 28 Weeks Later soundtrack is really appropriate for this.

Japan is by the most civilized of all...

I hope Japan defies your expectation.

 

[RocBase]

OMG

I AM IN TRUE LEGIT TEARS

this thread...this whole thread...just, LOOOOOL

 

[AlphaSnake]

Bulls on Parade was the first thing that came to mind.

 

[The Hermit]

That stairway gif is straight out of 28 weeks later.:lol

Soundtrack for this thread.

Watching that with the music is fucking eerie

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Oh shit so good.

Can you re-do the video with Yakity sax?

 

[PFD]

Wow insane thread

 

[Tonidayo]

omg this is FANTASTIC

 

[Kusano123]

This one totally got me.

The way everyone crawls out of the gate like a mob of athletic zombies is hysterical but horrifying at the same time.

 

[hawkshockey11]

They were probably pounding/scratching on the gate for a solid 20 minutes before.
*shudders*

lol terrifying and funny at the same time

german raccoons.

awwwww rabies has never been so adorable

 

[TheOGB]

Oh god, I'm dying

 

[Ovid]

This is the first thing I thought when I saw this pic.

 

[Windom Earle]

Here is another German compilation video with some new footage. Action starts around 16secs, stupid intro should be skipped.

[IN&OUT]

did Sony disclose any EU sales numbers? seems like a very impressive launch .

 

[Jacobi]

Any reports of people getting hurt? I hope nobody got hurt.

A woman in my city got hurt, people trampled all over here... Were smashing the door too I think, it's just insane. I think most people might be ebay scalpers though.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Omg this thread is amazing!

By the way, first post! Just got my account validated! Excited to join Neogaf.

 

[boredandlazy]

That first snag was fucking CLEAN.

I wonder how many will people complain that their PS4 is faulty after picking up one that's been trampled by the hoard?

 

[boingball]

Awesome thread. Can't stop laughing at those hordes of zombies.

Perfect.

 

[dazzlerazzle]

Fucking animals ! Why would the store allow to have a shit like that going on anyway ?

 

[The One and Done™]

Dat human desire for violence bruh

 

[IN&OUT]

I like how crowds ignore Xbone completely like it doesn't exist ! Sony have EU in the bag!

 

[RustyNails]

I know we have made a ton of zombie references, but Dead Center map from Left 4 Dead 2 is the most accurate of all.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

did Sony disclose any EU sales numbers? seems like a very impressive launch .

expecting sale numbers tomorrow. Interested to see how much was supplied to Europe.

 

[I Stalk Alone]

can you put banderas.gif in the Picture in Picture mode?

 

[El-Suave]

I'm not proud of these displays by my countrymen. This is proof that some attributes other nations think our people have are just an illusion. Media Markt, the chain where most of these scenes took place, are scum and they've reinforced my opinion of them. Instead of handing out tickets or something, they have their employees film this debacle or even cheer those people on. They actually wanted this kind of spectacle.

 

[Sylverstone14]

I haven't seen Germans rush toward something like that since Poland 1939

I see that Germans can still do a fucking blitzkireg.

 

[Pimpwerx]

I guess the secret is to know the store floorplan, and haul ass as soon as you get in the door. It looks like they're running half-speed, so if you really turned on the jets, you would stand a better chance of grabbing one. I never want to have to do that, though. It's why 99% of my retail shopping is online now. I can't handle crowds. PEACE.

[Piggus]

Its stupid wherever it is.

it really makes me ashamed of today's society, wouldn't it make so much more sense to make a few simple decisions,

such as

• single file ques
• anyone running in store will not be served
• letting in only 20 customers in at a time etc

Way to automatically jump on Americans, dick. It's not cool to generalize regardless of the country.

 

[Y2Kev]

This one actually does remind me of a zombie movie. The way they don't let the grate stop them...

 

[CF22]

Lol. Nice laugh after a long day.

Walked into my GameStop on the 15th about an hour after opening and picked up my pre-ordered PS4 with no wait and no one else in line. These guys need to learn what pre-ordering or buying online means.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Lol at people who thought this wouldn't happen again. I love shit like this.

 

[Twilight Gap]

This one actually does remind me of a zombie movie. The way they don't let the grate stop them...

It's a wonder why WWZ even used CGI

 

[Bisnic]

These people are insane, Wtf.

 

[GhaleonEB]

My favorite detail on this one is how we get two perspectives, and can see the person filming the second one in the first (over on the left).

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

That first snag was fucking CLEAN.

I like how the first guy that grabbed it kept running.

You've already to it dude, you can slow down.

 

[Piggus]

Someone should film an independent zombie film using footage from black Friday/console launches.

 

[polyh3dron]

My favorite part starts at the 0:30 mark, when people start crawling under the slightly raised security gate.
