I've seen more order in crowds in the Phillippines around food boxes dropped from helicopters...

Hell, at least noone was shot over this whole thing....
(Yes, this actually happened in the US)

Over a PS4, or just general Black Friday madness?
Yes, that video is very, very tame compared to what happens in the US on Black Friday. Black Friday should be abolished.

Black Friday should be abolished.
ahahahaha good luck

Doesn't change the fact that it should. It's getting out of control. I haven't checked what happened on it this year, but in recent years there's been an escalation. And if someone got shot this year, it's certainly not looking good that that has changed for the better in any way.

Soooo...you're somehow going to tell retailers to...not be able to set their own pricing? You get right on that chief.

It's not right. How can doing something which routinely means people die be right?

lol, console peasants.

Tell that to the nutjobs actually killing other people. The stores aren't the ones doing that.

I know you have a point. But they know it's going to happen. They have set the conditions for it to happen. Rather than try and make it stop, they're just ramping up the intensity.
If I have a million pounds, and I offer it up as the prize for winning a deathmatch, would you defend me because I'm not the one killing people?

So, is it zerglings or zombies rushing to get their food.

So, anyone else looking forward to Southpark, tomorrow? :D

please don't buy into media sensationalism. black friday isn't death and destruction. a scuffle or two might occur. the same can and does happen any other damn day of the week or for any other reason.

At least I buy it when I want it. Long queue immediately turn me off.

No but I bought a PS3

Well I certainly hope you're right about that. I've seen plenty of crazy videos though.

No but I bought a PS3
I've been looking around a few more respectable 2nd hand website places (mostly tech websites) where people were busily selling their 360's and PS3s with up to 33 games in one go for about 270 to 300 euros (lets total that to 350 dollar), taking into consideration said console was about 200-250 euro in stores only a few months ago with no extras. I got to say that certainly makes purchasing a last-gen console a lot more interesting, perhaps on par with seeing PS2s in stores go for bottom prices around 2008 onward.
Good time to game for those that have the time for it I suppose. Wish I had more free time on my hands on that note.

Well, I just picked up mine from a store. Still paying 250 with tax is better than the original 800 it wouldve cost.
I don't see any point in getting anything "next gen" until there are some actual games on it.
Give me Mirror's Edge and Fallout 4 and I might be persuaded.
-
It is still not here yet I think, not that I bother to check. I doubt I want to buy any of the next gen consoles for now. Few games, and the rather common DOA issue, and too similar to PC. I instead bought a 780 for my PC.
-
Biggest issue I have with the 'next gen' consoles this year is that they are at least "previous gen" compared to what I have on my desk now.
Anything they can do, I can do better already with my year+ old desktop machine.
*cue the PC master race, dirty console peasants images* ;)

With me, consoles are always about exclusives, which is why I've historically been most enthused about Nintendo's offerings: when you're dangling Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Smash Bros., et al. in front of me, it's going to get my attention. I do think I'd like to pick up a PS3 at some point, since there are a few exclusive franchises I can think of that I'd like to try out. I can't come up with any 360-only titles that I feel I'm missing out on.

Yup, pretty much the same for me. Which is why I think that right now is the best time to own a PS3 or 360; there's a huge catalog of games that are known to be good, and you don't have to pay 60 or 70€ to own them.
With the new generation, good new games will be few and far between for the next few months, as publishers get their first titles for these new systems out of the way and start to shift development ressources from the old gen to the new one.
(Meanwhile, I can gather up a decent Library for an eventual purchase of a PS4 through PS+, which is nice.)
-
Just my personal thinking, for more unique experience, PC gamers are better off with 3DS than anything else. The consoles are rather too similar to a weak unupgradable PC. Either way, neither PS4 and X One arrived here yet so nobody can buy one here for now, save for maybe those import gamers. Not sure if the online service already allowing online game purchase in my country since until they arrive, nobody will sell the games on the store.

Selling point for me is local-multiplayer. Diablo 3 was godawful on PC, but fun (think Golden Axe) with some buddies and beers on PS3. Something simple some friends can participate in without having to setup a LAN party. I'd rather not have them ****ing around on my PC anyways.
-
Some game can still be played that way. I still remember the old time when I can play some old 2 players boxing and soccer game in a single PC, back then I didn't know LAN existed, or at least it wasn't common and only hi tech offices do that. You can still play games like Streets of Rage remake 2 players on a single PC though.
-
Does the PS4 have the option of installing Linux on it, like the PS3 used to, before Sony went crazy?
If not, I'll pass.
-
Of course it doesn't.
Why would you want to, anyway?

I dunno, putting SteamOS on Playstation hardware sounds kind of amusing.
-
From what I heard, to keep the price low while trying to match PC graphics, Sony had to cut corners a bit. One of them is cancelling the external hard drive support. Maybe they may return it or give it through some extra hardware. Not sure if they went crazy again and brick some third party attempts though.
-
You can easily swap out the internal HDD on a PS4 without voiding your warranty, though.
