Nobody is from Texas, we all just moved here to get west coast salaries in the south.

I despise all of Texas outside of Austin. Fucking Mexican infested dust bowl...

A few places here in nyc still has xbones in stock as of this evening. Also, one of the toys r us nearby still had some of the day one editions as of yesterday.

Considering NA retailers still had stock on day 2 in many cases, does seem like it... (Hell, my local Target did today - on day 5)

I haven't seen any in stock around here. Besides Microsoft already announced they sold all that they shipped.

Went to a few stores today and no one had either console

I wish they would allow the online stores to take preorders now for the next shipment.

The target sites aren't even close to accurate.

A) The preorders never come off the stock numbers.

So say your Target had 4 pre orders held since launch, then if they got a shipment of 3 in the morning all the sudden they have 7 now.
That coupled with the fact that there stock takes 24-48 hours to update, and you see the problems.

Unless you are going to those stores and verifying that, then the numbers on there website aren't correct.

I wish I could walk into any target, and just buy one. Would make my life allot easier right now.

I've verified in person.... As of this afternoon they had 2 left maybe sold out now though.

And staff quoted its 15 min for the website to update...

I saw about 3-4 Xbones at the Freddies by my work yesterday. I was looking to just see if they had a PS4 but only Xboxes and laughter were had.

It's a very popular serie of virtual girlfriend games that started on the DS. There is a number of japanese courting video games where you win when you get the girl (or more exactly: one of the girls), but the original idea behind LovePlus is that the meat of the game is what happens after that: the relationship with the girl. This idea is mixed with elements of offline persistent world ? la Animal Crossing (so you set actual dates with your virtual girlfriend) and some limited voice recognition elements ("Tell me you love me!") to create an heightened sense of presence. This pretty brilliant take on the genre and a very classic but good art direction (and possibly very good writing?) cemented the success.

The game was also known for some brilliant pseudo-publicity stunts like having a player organize an actual marriage with his virtual girlfriend or have a shop create some LovePlus themed chocolate cakes for Valentine's Day.

Link is blocked at work, I am confused by link title and your post

Are you guys really buying fucking Gameboys? Tell me you aren't, because I cant imagine seeing anything more ridiculous than a grown man playing a handheld console....

...maybe if he was also wearing a cape and a watermelon

Thanks for the link, i really want to do this. Has anyone here upgraded yet?
Also, there is no data backup is there for saved games to restore to the new HDD? When i did my PS3 upgrade i remember backing up all my save data to an external drive, i have not found that option for the PS4 yet.

If you're a PS+ user all of your saved game data is automatically backed up to cloud storage. I'll be upgrading my HDD today (to the one linked), and it looks to be fairly painless. Swap the drive and sync game data after re-installing the OS. I think it's possible to back up data to USB storage too, but I don't want to mess with it unless it's necessary.

Yeah all saves are backed up to the cloud if you are PS+. Some people on here upgraded right out of the box IIRC.
