So is bitching about it on forums.
Takes much less time and effort though
By the way does the PS4 stream game content from the BD drive at all?

I did it once back when the Wii came out, where I stayed for 24 hours inside the local superstore. We grabbed the TV that had the Wii video demo on it and hooked up a Gamecube to play smash, and we didn't need to pack food since we could just buy food from the store. Really messes with your time sense, though, being indoors with full lighting for 24 hours.

Back in 2005 I waited in line for 16 hours with Stark out in front of a Costco to get the Xbox 360. We sat in lawn chairs, played PSP games, talked, and just enjoyed the company of the others in line sharing our experience. At various points friends stopped by to bring us food and drinks and a Microsoft employee stopped off and handed out swag. We had a sense of camaraderie with the others in line and overall it was an awesome experience.
Also of note: I wasn't buying one for myself. It was a Christmas present for my brother.

So you're saying it wasn't a pathetic waste of time? You didn't reflect upon your miserable life, with sad, lonely tears rolling down your cheeks? It rained a bit that night, I couldn't tell if you were crying or not.
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended...so the world might be mended.
So I took advantage of Target's B2G1 free sale and picked up NBA 2K14, Killzone: Shadow Fall, and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag all for the PS4. I can't fucking wait until tomorrow. Getting through work tomorrow is gonna be hell
I am still uncertain. I have to go into work tomorrow though I normally have Fridays off. I think I may post my PS4 for sale during the day, if I get no bites by the time I get home, I will just keep it.
