And yet we can't even get a hint on NX.

500GB is just about enough given the tie ratio consoles typically have had in the past. I don't know what they're like for this gen, but I can't imagine a huge deviation.
If you're a keen gamer who browses this forum then yeah, I'm sure you want more space. But for the average user and Mr or MRs GTA, FIFA and COD. They don't.
It amazes me how people don't understand this and the idea that many people are pretty ok with just managing the space they have.
The figures may have changed since but about a year ago the average tie ratio of a ps4 was about 7 games. That's still enough for a 500gb drive.
Yeah my workmates are around that. One has uninstalled a game to make room for another.
This thing happens quite frequently, the difference is that consoles don't usually get announced as they are going out. Given that Sony likely wanted a wide release straight after the announcement they were going to leak whether from 'lost' shipments or local distributors getting greedy. Information about it happening also gets out more efficiently now than ever before. The other difference is the volume of units is quite high which isn't consistent with indie retail leaks which lends credence to the possibility of a shipment getting stolen.lol sony messed up here. how have people got these so early?
i wonder if we'll see the same happen for Neo.
Could be worse. Could have paid a thousand bucks for No Man's Sky.
holy shit did that happen?!
Poor guy
I really don't get this people wanting to be "first".... They are paying more for a product designed to be cheaper than available model. I guess people like to burning hundreds pounds for the novelty.
So what do you think the odds would be of stopping by a mom n' pop game shop and there being stock available? Nil? Thinking about making a few stops on my way home from work...

So much for Sony's 'Apple style announcement'

Don't buy it from CEX. Don't step into a store. The smell. I'll never forget it, it'll remain with me to the end of my days.

My local CEX is staffed almost entirely by hot punk girls
I will step into there as much as I possibly can

Talking about it won't get rid of the memory of that awful smell.
Would you like to sit down and talk about it, Pancakes R Us?
Make sure you have a good wash afterwards.My local CEX is staffed almost entirely by hot punk girls

It's not worth going in CEX for.
Has anyone ever been in one that doesn't stink of bo. It's like it's store policy or something.
My local doesn't smell.

I sold my 360 to CEX. Tossed it through the front door with a note attached listing my paypal address and ran.Don't buy it from CEX. Don't step into a store. The smell. I'll never forget it, it'll remain with me to the end of my days.
I frequented Computer Exchange near Tottenham Court Road the other day, the original CEX before it became the chain we all know and (un)love.
Man what a depressing sight, I remember getting VF 3TB and Darkstalkers Nightwarriors for Saturn in the early Noughties, tonnes of retro stuff, anime vhs/dvds Pal console conversions etc.
Its just stacks of £1 DVD's, cracked smart phones and that famous CEX/Cash Converters smell now, Bleurgh.
Can people not wait 2-4 weeks for a reveal and the product on shelves.

There's two around there. The one you're talking about and another on Rathbone Place near a Cafe Nero.That one still open? I thought they closed that one and kept the one next to the arcade (well it was an arcade, it changed to one of those shitty slot machine places few years back).
Just to play Devils advocate for my corporate overlords, the idea that CEX just accept stolen goods willy-nilly isn't true. Just last week I had to send someone away because during the test for the phone they wanted to trade in it came up as lost/stolen. You also need a serial number on the device and valid ID for any trade-in, so if anything dodgy does come through its easy enough for the police to track them down. Maybe it's lax in other shops, but that's how ours' does it.
and you gotta love that 15% discount m8
I used to work in a shop which sold DVDs and was near to a CEX. We frequently had problems with people stealing our stock and going straight to trade it in. Apparently the staff there didn't find anything odd in people trading in multiple copies of new, sometimes sealed, items.
So, not a pawn shop then?
There's literally always a premium for buying new technology first
That means you're the one who smells
