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

[The E]

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.

[Mongoose]

Black Friday should be abolished.

ahahahaha good luck

[Lorric]

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?

[Nuke]

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?

[Flak]

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

[BloodEagle]

So, anyone else looking forward to Southpark, tomorrow?

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. 

[Flak]

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

[Akalabeth Angel]

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.
