[Nibel]

Don't be an idiot and try to connect to PSN.

He said he got the PS4 through family connection

He probably gets his own server as well

 

[Killthee]

Screw a plan, screw making sure everything works right we know it's not going to be perfect, screw wanting to explore everything when he could just record that shit while hes browsing it.

This! This! This!

 

[Zatoichi's Cane]

Fuck you amazon for running a tight ship and eliminating the possibility of me receiving an early shipment.

 

[Epcott]

Lucky bastard

Spoiler

don't get banned, rimshot

 

[Shadow Ranger]

So he's essentially putting his old man on the line then. His old man may have given the okay, but what if his seniors (Jack) didn't approve?

Ya, like others I found the unplanned exploring more exciting.

Maybe PR from gaming sites has jaded me to the point where I prefer a shaky cam unboxing and screenshots of the audio options. It just seems more 'real', which comes across as sincere. Something I don't get from well crafted PR releases.

 

[Order]

I hope someone else comes and posts a UI video to one up this asshole who wants to wait until tomorrow.

Jesus, calm your thirsty ass down man.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

So he's essentially putting his old man on the line then. His old man may have given the okay, but what if his seniors (Jack) didn't approve?

probably why he is waiting until tomorrow to post videos

 

[Cryolemon]

His dad is Guy Longworth of Sony: http://us.playstation.com/corporate/about/management/guywlongworth/

Would be embarrassing if Sony then banned him then lol.

 

[ZedIndyLil]

No reason why Amazon would break street date when every console they have on hand is already sold.

This is hilarious.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Yep, in my opinion that's what I meant by precision strike. Sony saw what happened when xbone got out in the wild and now they are 'simulating' that.

Could have been a little smarter about it but it's a good move none the less.

Yeah it's good but you're right, it'd be better if they gave it to someone not connected to Sony.

Honestly at this point, Sony should have done their own UI walkthrough likes MS already did.

 

[ZealousD]

I don't know if this is a stupid question or not, but I've been wondering for a while now:
Who is Wario...?

He's multiple robot incarnations of Suda.

Suda 51 is actually the 51st robot. Wario is the other 50.

 

[BruiserBear]

Don't be an idiot and try to connect to PSN.

Sony wouldn't pull a stunt like Microsoft did.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Wow, I've never seen this one before.

Wow.

 

[Demon Ice]

Hey guys, do you think he'll get console-banned for connecting to PSN early?

 

[DietRob]

Completely agree. People are dying of thirst wanting to see it. Just take a quick look at this thread, we are in the middle of the desert.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I hope it goes well! Here's a tweet from a friend of ours:

Arthur Gies ‏@aegies 18m

@Wario64 I don't think the patch will be live til late tomorrow/monday, but god speed to him.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Ban him!

 

[Relix]

Just imagine receiving that...

"Your Amazon Order has shipped!"

e-mail on Monday. I'd die.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Get this man a GAF account!

 

[Pai Pai Master]

dammit...i want it

 

[JawzPause]

 

[BigTnaples]

Jealous. But working the next 3 nights in a row anyways, so wouldn't be too happy having it sit a home unable to be played.


Looking forward to seeing UI vids.

 

[Creaking]

Play the future first my coccyx. #ThanksTacoBell

 

[Yondy604]

HYPE THREADDDDDDDDD

 

[DietRob]

Sony wouldn't pull a stunt like Microsoft did.

Especially considering by all likelihood the only reason they have authorized the son of an exec access is because they (Sony) are living in opposite town than Microsoft.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

So this is basically Sony PR, and not a leak.

Well this is crap if true.

I'd much prefer a unprofessional, unscripted unboxing and demo of the UI from a hardcore XBox fan than a polished video from the son of a Sony executive.

Boo!

 

[TheRealTalker]

even Killzone too (I have the copy but no PS4).... man I wish I had family connections

 

[murgo]

Fuck you amazon for running a tight ship and eliminating the possibility of me receiving an early shipment.

Fuck you amazon.de for not even giving us a release date for the mega bundle
I'm so jealous.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

I demand Vita remote play videos asap.

 

[Marvel]

 

[Boyzi]

Re: EU 29th. I like abstaining from shit. It's like not having a wank, even though you're absolutely dying for one.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Wow.

This is why I GAF.

 

[Goldrusher]

Guy W. Longworth is Senior Vice President of PlayStation Brand Marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA), responsible for all aspects of PlayStation marketing, including product marketing, brand development, PR and promotions. Longworth joined SCEA in October 2011 and reports directly to President and CEO Jack Tretton.

This explains everything, doesn't it?

That tweet will be on the frontpage of every single gaming website within the next 24 hours. Free advertising.

Then again, he shouldn't have used his own Twitter account. Now it's too obvious and/or no one will care.
"Look at this kid has a PS4 already! Oh, wait, he's the son of the SCEA marketing president. Never mind."

 

[imt558]

No, you won't be banned.

[TimeEffect]

Wait a minute!

...He has Killzone.

and a PS4...

Killzone has single player...

:O

 

[kittens]

That person has such nice hair.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

I believe I referenced this very issue in another thread.

 

[wizzbang]

Feels that way.

Sony have been pretty laid back and easy going this year but I'm not sure some kids UI video is what they are after here. I'm sure they'd do something a bit more corporate like MS's one from a day or two ago. Even if they are relaxed you know? Some guys kid's UI video doesn't feel like an avenue they would take to make a UI video to me.

Hmmm...

 

[Cragvis]

let me guess, this guy will also have a potato as a phone video recording device that he will use.

 

[NewGame]

In this day and age of social media releasing a console early to some people is a great way to essentially get free advertising. That's right. All you streetbreakers are just fiddles that Sony are playing!

Spoiler

I can be a fiddle too Sony! Please!!

 

[dustman1565]

Damn, so jealous. But it's great that he'll be posting some UI videos tomorrow considering he didn't have to do anything.

Friday cannot come quickly enough.

 

[Kodiak]

EARLYNESS JEALOUSY

 

[Azure J]

HE GOTS IT URLEY

 

[Demon Ice]

No, you won't be banned.

Hmmm...

Arthur has no idea what he's talking about? This is very surprising to me, truly.
