I worked at home depot years ago and the closest thing they had to video game systems was some shitty brand lcd t.v's for christmas time.

 

[I2amza]

It's obviously for all the people going to buy tubs guys. Just have the demo station in front of tub area and have the PS4 playing a video of Cerny.

Genius!

 

[xaosslug]

Sony coming after the home space HARD this generation!

 

[Hidden One]

I didnt know you could buy games in home depot

You can't....Trust me if you could I'd be the first to know.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

I fucking work at a home depot and there had better be PS4's on display when I go back on Friday..

Prepare to be disappointed.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

I want to go to Home Depot now. Not even kidding. I want to play the PS4 and try the Dual Shock 4 so badly. Going tomorrow to see!

 

[SwiftDeath]

As wario pointed out, the guy who made the demo unit also made a base for the PS4



So there's no way that demo unit is offical

Some guy just whipped it up most like

Apparently they came from this guy, he was building a "PS4 Base" a couple days ago

Not sure what to make of him having a console though

I mean sony has to send out complete demo unit setups right?

No way every store makes their own or even make the base for the PS4

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I think the real question on everyone's mind right now is how many people did it take to setup that PS4?

 

[NeoUltima]

Home Depot? I seriously can't stop laughing. Like what the hell.

It's either a very elaborate joke, or the employee works for another chain and is saying Home Depot to protect himself.

 

[weevles]

Sweet! PS4 Demo Kiosk at the Home Depot Lawn & Garden Department!

Wait, wat?

 

[Guerilla]

Give it to me!

 

[Vegivo]

I didnt know you could buy games in home depot

Me neither lol

 

[Loomba]

Looks cool, although I've never understood why the plastic encasing is solid; must cause huge overheating problems. They should really put holes in them so air can escape.

 

[sublimit]

Man i can't stop imagining how my set up will look with a PS4 under my tv even though it has no games at launch that interest me...
Sony must be doing something very right to make me think like that.

Well they don't have to..

Next we'll see Microsoft setting up Xbone demos in Ikea to go after that living room market.

 

[DeadcatXL]

Putting up a demo kit at Home Depot is genius.

It's where us 30-something males have to go all the time.

I like this kind of alternative marketing.

 

[-PXG-]

Home Depot.

wat

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Home Depot???? Why? Do they sell video games now?

 

[Marvel]

What a strange place to put the console... in Home Depot.

 

[JP]

Closer and closer, really can't wait now. Only 7 weeks to go in the UK and it's paid for with KZ, Watch Dogs & Battlefield with a week off work. Got £150 in credits in the local shop so I'll likely spend that too, early Christmas baby!!

Every time somebody posts stuff like this it makes me want it more. I come into the threads "Oow, picture of a PS4 box", "Wow, trophy notification" or "Look at that, what a beautiful power cable"!!! I don't think Sony need to spend millions on advertising for this, just a few pictures of the instruction booklets and the DS4 USB lead is all the excitment I can take now.

 

[Impeccable]

So they are building the units in store to ship to places like Best Buy.

 

[Loakum]

I was just at Home Depot two days ago, buying some dry wall......I guess I'll have to make another trip there.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Future scalpers beware there is such a surplus home improvement stores are getting supplies. Lol. Next Bed Bath and Beyond then Goodwill.

 

[Pop]

Home Depot > Lowes confirmed.

But Lowes is the one that's blue. Just a little oversight by Sony, no worries. The 30ish yr olds will still get to try out the PS4 when shopping for lawn treatment.

Interesting you mention that...at the Ikea near me they use fat 360's (not plugged in) in several of their living room displays as props.

 

[jiggles]

The station isn't finished. Here, I fixed it.

Seemed like it was missing a little something.

 

[FlyFaster]

home depot? Of all the places I could think of, I don't think I'd ever have chosen a hardware store to put a PS4 demo kit in.

 

[Stike]

Playstation Home

Spoiler

Depot

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Not only is it weird to be at Home Depot, but why in the Lawn and Garden section of all places??

Because the PS4 needs watered?

 

[Professor Lich]

Sony does what Microsoft Depon't.

 

[Broank]

Well thats just... random.

I guess home depot is usually pretty busy where I am so it might be a good spot to get people to see it.

 

[BloodMoney]

I preordered my PS4 at Home Depot & it came with free delivery so long as I purchased a bathtub.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

It can't be a Home Depot. Story must be wrong. Or someone's having a laugh.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

A++++++++++++

 

[DeviantBoi]

Hey Gies, where are they hiding the computer that actually runs the demo games? Is it in the cylinder beneath the empty PS4 shell?

 

[ShirAhava]

This doesn't shock me I bought my Xbox 360 at Home Depot...a few of them sell video game stuff...and then they don't...and then they do again lol...its weird

 

[marvin83]

I preordered my PS4 at Home Depot & it came with free delivery so long as I purchased a bathtub.

I think it would be the most awesome thing in the world if there was a brand of bathroom fixtures (tubs/faucets/etc) called Cerny. For joke escalation, obv.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Home Depot sells TV stands and entertainment centers. what better accessory for those (not counting televisions, duh!) is there than a PS4?

I hope for the sake of the reporter that the dude isn't joking, cause lol

Yeah. He is definitely joking. The guy who said "Home Depot" joked. The other guy responded to his joke as a sign of fake confirmation. Read his comment history and you can see him laughing out at this shit. I can't believe they fell for this shit.

EDIT: Yep. It's a joke.

You all need some spanking.

Thank you. 10/10
Came here to post about it being set up with the tubs.

 

[kaching]

I'm cancelling my preorder in anticipation of the impending tub bundle from Home Depot. The only way to PS4.
