I'll do this list format as well.

  1. Schedule my vacation for the launch date and days afterward
  2. Wake up day before launch and pace around my house until 3pm
  3. Eat something terrible for me
  4. Go to GameStop and pay off pre-order
  5. Go to some food place with beer
  6. Go to Best Buy and look at all the people camping and probably talk to them
  7. By 6pm go look at GameStop to see if there is any activity there
  8. Probably none there
  9. Wait until 8 or 9pm to wait in line and hope my phone is charged to keep me preoccupied while waiting
  10. Get Ps4
  11. Play Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed IV, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Knack, PlanetSide 2
  12. Pass out with Monster and game headset on me

Repeat step 11. for many days ahead in no particular order. GameStop and the Best Buy are right next to each other basically. I'll take pics and post them to here/twitter probably.

Went to GameStop and asked how many pre-orders they have. They said there are 50 which is surprisingly lower than what I expected. I have a feeling Best Buy is where it will be at and of course Amazon.

1. Stare at the wall for 2 years.

2. Pick one up in 2015 with a bunch of games and probably a slightly discounted model by then.

Go to class and do homework. If I did decide to go through with my preorder, I would probably set up the system after dinner sometime, play Watch Dogs for a bit and go to bed.

1. Go to work

2. Wait until girlfriend calls and says my PS4 and XB1 have arrived (if they launch on the same day).

3. Leave work and go play games.

4. Go back and close the store at 10:00.

5. Go home and play more games.

I'm guessing it's a Tuesday so:

1. Go to work

2. Get home

3. Beer

4. Pass out

5.Wait till Saturday and pick up a PS4 off a shelf cause I've never had to pre-order a console and see no need to start now. I found a DS on launch week and I'll find a PS4, no problem. Just gotta avoid the large chain stores.

@lord_xp: I'm pretty sure 50 is the max amount of pre-order's a store can take for PS4's.

I'll probably try to take the day off and check out a few shops in town. pick up a game or two and see how well things are selling. Amazon launch-day PS4 should get dropped off that afternoon.

Man I hope they come out the same day. I just want to see the madness.

Go to school and not be able to do any work or listen to the teacher because I'll be too excited. I'm not one of those people who will skip work or school for games but it'll be hard to do anything in class all day. I'll also be worried they fucked up my pre order because this is EB and I'm really paranoid.

  • Set it up.
  • Knock on wood.
  • If everyting works...
  • Play games.

Going with BF4 at launch. As a 'One Game at a Time' guy, it would be wisest to only buy one game at a time. Will see if Wisdom prevails. I really want to play NfS Rivals too. A nice exclusive like Killzone wouldn't be wrong either. That said, having more than one game at a time really is to the detriment of my enjoyment of all the games I bought. I'll just feel torn. I'll already feel torn between what I'll end up buying, and Drive Club being free from PS+.

In all likilhood, it'll be Battlefield 4 until I tire a bit of it. Could be several months. Then it's definitely NfS Rivals. Honestly - NfS Rivals probably is the most fun game I can imagine playing, but Battlefield is my jam - and I'm likely more passionate about it. It's just not pure joy like Need for Speed is, but an intoxicating mixture of highs and lows. Just hope the highs will be higher, and the lows will be less low, than they were in BF3. I'm hopeful. Everything I've seen about it looks rad, other than again being a bit too bright and dark (if you've played BF3, you know what I'm talking of), and just way too serious.

That said. I'll play the campaign first, and then it'll be weeks and weeks, maybe months or even years, of BF4 multiplayer.

If I have my way I'll be picking the console up at midnight, along with a copy of Knack, and maybe Watch Dogs. Then on the way home I'll get some nice food and stay up all night playing it. Of course I'll need a new job, I'll have to secure my preorder, and I'll have to see a little more about those games first.

If it's a weekday launch, definitely taking the day off.

If it's Saturday like it has been historically, going to wait for Amazon to show up with my PS4 and watch GB coverage hopefully.

If it's Sunday, I'll probably just curl up in a corner and cry, since my Amazon launch day delivery choice will have been in a vain.

My normal day, because I will be waiting on UPS to drop it off from Amazon. Most likely during my free time check out what ever GB has put up about the system/games.

  1. Stroll to Best Buy around 12:10 to see if my preorder is still there. If so, pick it up and go to sleep.
  2. Wake up and see if my Amazon pre-order is set to arrive on launch day (which it should, since I ordered the Watch_Dogs Launch Bundle).
  3. Check eBay to see if I should return one of sell it.
  4. Either return one of them or sell it.
  5. Enjoy.

My Plan for Launch Day:

  1. Wake up and get ready to go to the store.
  2. Drive to store.
  3. Arrive at store and ask employee for a PS4
  4. Listen as employee says they are sold out.
  5. Come to the grim realization that every store within 100 miles is probably sold out too.
  6. Drive back home and call every store in the city trying to find one even though it's hopeless.
  7. Be sad.
  8. Eat 6...no 8...no 10 TACOS!
  9. Be slightly happier because tacos are awesome.
  10. Now we play the waiting game.

Post Launch Day Plans:

  1. Wait between 1 day and 1 month for stores to restock. (hopefully it doesn't take longer)
  2. Buy a PS4
  3. Buy games to play (most notably Killzone: Shadow Fall)
  4. Have fun playing games.
  5. Take an occasional break to eat, sleep, use the restroom, go to work, and blink.
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 as needed, especially the blinking part. That one's a bitch, because you never realize you're not doing it.

1. Wake up sometime in the afternoon

2. Wait for UPS (or maybe Fedex I don't know who gamestop uses.)

3. Sign for package (maybe I've only had to sign for one thing ever and it was a game console.)

4. Setup

5. Play games

6. Sleep

Watch an episode of Jeopardy, make a ham sandwhich with low-fact mayo, see what Bernard is up to, take a nap at 2, and hopefully by the time I wake up the kids will be done with their homework so I can put them to sleep and mow the lawn.

I don't know since it's still a ways to go, but more than likely I'll watch whatever stream is up on the site and maybe drive around to see if there are any PS4s at my local stores.

I'll probably be working. Or on vacation. Either way it will just be another day.

I don't have the luxury of actually caring about console launches (as much as I wish I did, to be honest).

Try to wait till there are enough games out I would like, which include roughly what you are getting for your money. I know they would not push too hard with free to play until a large enough user base, then everyone can start to have fun charging us. Try to wait awhile to see if over heating is that bad, hopefully not may just end up being really loud.

Will probably just wait a little while to see if there is any disastrous jank to worry about. I wonder how long it will be till GTA5 comes out, that's more than enough game for me to get one! Is anyone waiting for GTA on next gen?

I ordered mine from Amazon so I doubt I will have one on release day, even though its supposed to be here.

In that event I plan to watch the GB livestream and enjoy the patch/log in chaos. I may take the day off but depends on the release date. Would love to see a head-to-head standoff between MS and Sony.

If the console actually arrives, then try to figure out which game to buy since I didn't pre-order a game with the console.

Watching the inevitable GB livestream.

The correct and only answer. I want to see how things shake out first before I drop £400 - £500 on a new console.

I am going to watch any and all GB video content and then go about my business.
