    edit- and I preordered Watch Dog launch bundle this morning, thanks for posting that link!
    That's easy mode now my man. 5 and 1 year old daughters, once they start walking and trying to eat everything they find is when the fun starts.

    But yes of course, have to test it out for him.

    While I agree at launch they've leaned their lesson, what remains to be seen is 2 weeks before Christmas when everybody who didn't get it at lunch wants one. That's the biggest unknown, and chance for a "second market"n IMO.

      Dont know why ive been waiting but guess I should start paying this thing off with Amazon giftcards. Just to soften the blow at launch.
      It’s easier to do the right thing, than to explain why you didn’t.

        Is it too late to preorder for release day?

            You guys are forgetting the parents who think they can get one before Christmas and not per order. Then when they have a hard time finding one, eBay becomes a very viable option for a hefty price.

              This is so true. I did it with a Rockband release and made a good sum.
              Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

                I still say stores will have plenty during the holiday season.

                  Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

                  Has it been said what the "Launch Day" PS4's will have ?? Anything special ??

                  I know MS is having "Day One" editions for XB1.

                    Nothing special. All the XB1 "Day 1" editions will just have a controller that says "Launch day"

                        It's really not what the PS4 can say on the console or controller that is important for launch day. It's what, on day one, YOU can say to others that you own the PS4, a BAMF Gaming Machine.

                          I think about it this way, and this is just my opinion, no facts or actual numbers.

                          They (Microsoft and Sony) have said preorders are coming in at historically high numbers. They will do their best to fulfill preorders 1st, obviously. At some point they will stop taking preorders due to not wanting to leave customers without a system they've preordered and paid for, obviously.

                          It's going to take every ounce of their efforts to fulfill every pre order. For arguments sake, lets say the release is the 1st week of November. And they're able to fulfill every single preorder. If there are any left on the shelves, the 1st people in line are those who wanted to preorder, but couldn't or waited too long. Gamers most likely, not the general population.

                          The X factor, just brought up a few posts above this 1. The hundreds of thousands (may be more? ) of people who have no idea what preorders are, planning to walk into their local BestBuy, Walmart etc with the intention of buying a ps4 for the holidays.

                          This generation of consoles, I believe, will sell at much higher rates. It's been a long time since 360/Ps3. It's not just gamers and parents buying games for their kids. Its everyone. Boys, girls, teens, adults, families, parents, grandparents, plus us; the hardcore/casual gaming community.

                          Tl;dr - Sorry for the book. The short version is this (again, just my opinion): the number of people walking into their local stores to buy a console, will be greater than the number of units on the shelves.

                            There isn't a person alive that doesn't know what a pre-order is. There may be some that don't do it, but pre-ordering isn't just a video game thing.

                              You're kidding right? It may be more than a video game thing. But there is no doubt a whole ton of people who don't even know the Ps4/Xbox 1 will even exist this season. And they'll be the same people in line to buy them for little Johnny from Santa Clause.

                                I misread it then. I took it as you said there are people out there who don't know what they are/that you can pre-order a console.
