Pretty disgusting.

Totally. A collection of capitalist dogs, consumerist pigs, and commercialist...kittens, all racing to grab their precious little video game consoles. The stank is almost visible. Ugh. There goes my faith in humanity and such.

Man I am so glad I preordered my console at a local EB games/GameStop in Canada right after E3

My launch experience was...

Wake up in the morning, eat breakfast, go for a jog, do some personal stuff, check GAF, then go out for lunch...
I later get a call from my cousin walking by the store telling me that the line had eased up and at around 2:30 in the afternoon go to my local EB games where the line was now gone... Chat with the clerks get my PS4 and go home

The most relaxing launch ever!

Yup. I too preordered right after E3 and strolled in at 9AM on the 15th with 2 people in line ahead of me, felt good.

I think some people just forget that it's 2013.

 

[vg260]

What kind of terrible store just sets up a display like that in the middle of the store for a launch and let people rush to it? So stupid.

 

[drproton]

I don't understand why management would allow that to happen. Pass out tickets or armbands; put the boxes behind the counter or something.

 

[DangerMouse]

Lesson for you all; start preordering!

Yeah.

That first snag was fucking CLEAN.

Haha, wow, yes it was!

 

[FinalStageBoss]

lol that's hilarious(and why I love amazon)

 

[Tripon]

Oh jeez man. Ordering online is the way to go.

 

[vilmer_]

This should be a viral ad for the NFL.

 

[Rising_Hei]

Yeah.



Haha, wow, yes it was!

He's probably a boxer, such clean movements

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

haha

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

That first snag was fucking CLEAN.

Just noticed the guy in the red shirt getting the fuck out of the way at the very beginning. :lol

 

[dmr87]

If you aren't in the top 5 in line you are pretty much fucked.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Should have asked for volunteers for The Last of Us 2 mo-cap, lol

 

[PodcastFips]

They straight destroyed the PS4 section

I was there

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

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

Playstation 4 Release Germany - Compilation

 

[spwolf]

funny, poor XB1's

 

[FinalStageBoss]

You forgot a major one, OP:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_avokeDxQdw

Looks like theres one guy trying to hold them off and dissapears into the pile of playstations lol

 

[jett]

I thought germans were supposed to be a civilized people. Clearly, I was mistaken.

 

[DangerMouse]

If they were behind a wall I imagine the World War Z wall scene being real too.

 

[Teknoman]

Play that one song from 28 days later at the same time.

EDIT: In a heartbeat? Fits perfectly for the gate scenes...most realistic zombie portrayal i've ever seen.

 

[chrominance]

Thanks for reminding me why having to wait a weekend for my PS4 to be delivered to my home was really not a big deal in the end.

P.S. soundtrack for the thread, now put to video

 

[Whompa]

This is honestly insane...I'll just get mine on Amazon

 

[JordanN]

Looks like an orgy at the end.

 

[Nudull]

George A. Romero was right.

 

[Zukuu]

I thought germans were supposed to be a civilized people. Clearly, I was mistaken.

they're gamer fanboys first - nationality comes 2nd.
That said, why not just preorder you filthy commoners.

 

[NomarTyme]

Crazy.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Meanwhile I will be a sensible human being and just enjoy my PS4 when it's readily available and has some games.

 

[plainr_]

I absolutely love watching people go insane like this.

 

[Yoday]

I was there

You can't see it because they are all in boxes, but all of those PS3's have a single tear running down their faces as they went from being part of proud bunduru's to relics of the past in mere seconds.

 

[Tallshortman]

Germans taking no prisoners when it comes to their PS4s.

 

[GolazoDan]

Gonna chase the postman and spear tackle him to the ground to get into the spirit of things.

 

[Austriacus]

What the fuck is wrong with people.

 

[Dahaka]

What's worse than those bestial vandals is the handling of such "events", not only in handing out numbers to people and only call in a few at a time, no, they (the staff) have fun watching those mobs run rampant. Some Media Markts actually spread the PS4s across the store as in "hiding" them between other products so people had to find them and run around the store like chickens. The filming is NO coincidence, it's well-prepared actually.

 

[Alchemy]

What the fuck is wrong with people.

BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

The bain of shoppers every where... Sharp ass corners.

 

[Downhome]

Wow, these people really want to play Knack something awful!

 

[Portugeezer]

PS4rmy

 

[DJ88]

I was there

Haha, that wasn't even for PS4s, just PS3s.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

That first snag was fucking CLEAN.

Dude's been practicing.

FLAWLESS EXECUTION.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

First guy who got there is an asshole, doesnt even grab a console just starts pushing people and consoles. Looks like he got crushed as well so lol at him.

 

[friskykillface]

You can't see it because they are all in boxes, but all of those PS3's have a single tear running down their faces as they went from being part of proud bunduru's to relics of the past in mere seconds.

I saw so many PS3/Xbox 360 black friday bundles being left/people walking past in their huge pyramid piles and stacks, was sad to see, nobody wants them

consoles have feelings too

 

[woolley]

I don't understand how stores let this happen? Is it really too hard to plan some sort of ticket system instead of letting everyone run at a pile at once?

 

[Naminator]

Not enough money in the world to convince me to get trampled.

Not enough money in the world to convince me to be a part of that sheep herd.

 

[dmr87]

Dat scalper, nabs two.

 

[Zok310]

lol,
thread of the decade.
In my head i can hear the screams.
