Likely places to get a PS4 without a Pre-order

My dad was just telling me about the story when he queued in the freezing cold outside Tesco for the PS2 when I was a kid. This thread is giving me all sorts of nostalgia for those days!

Just got there. Seems to be a lot more than 50! More like 100! Don't know if I'm arsed waiting for 2 hours to be told no

No tickets being given out, there'll be a load of cutting in too

There was 50 when I posted. Probably 80 now. Not counting car people. If you're not already in line I'd say it's over.

Ordered the kill zone Mega bundle with extra controller and camera, when I got home I only discovered that I got the standard kill zone ... no camera or extra controller...

Car people can feck off, waiting in a car isn't queuing. I could have shown up at 3 and had a kip in the car

You'd have to have some cheek after stepping out of your toasty warm car to cut in front of a line of a hundred people who have been outside freezing their balls off.

My first experience of gaming was on NES with Duck Hunt so I'm not exactly a spring chicken but I never got to experience the "good old days" of Atari and Commodore.

Good morning and the best of luck to ye getting a ps4 . Dundrum was quite the surprise, you also have power city on the malahide Road seems likely too

robrieguez · 29-11-2013 08:07AM

Powercity should come out and give everyone a number. I'm near the end. Could be 90th, could be 110th. Don't want to wait here for nothing
