Going to gamestop midnight release, just so i can take it home and go to sleep due to work tomorrow. I could have just picked it up on way home from work but you know,...gotta have it asap!

#17 in line at that.

Just unboxed mine and ran through the setup. Getting ready to install the update, download Resogun, and play till my eyes bleed.

Blah, cant use my USB drive to do the update. That little slot that the usb ports are in is too narrow for my fat Corsair USB drive.

both inFamous games were totally awesome and you're boring. Super excited for inFamous Second Son.

Clarification on the unit numbers:

Update: Sony has reached out to us to clarify the number of units that could be subject to failure. According to a representative, the .04 percent number we were provided is incorrect by a magnitude of ten. The correct anticipated percentage of units that will suffer from problems is .4 percent. Based on a projection of five million units sold by end of fiscal year (March 31, 2014), that accounts for approximately 20,000 units with hardware problems.
That's still waaaaaaay below average.

"anticipated failure rate". Has there ever been a more worthless projection? When I was in 7th grade, I anticipated that I would fuck no less that 50% of the ho's when I got to highschool.

Why even worry or speculate till we hit release day and a few million of these are in homes and turned on for the first time?

The difference being Sony employs engineers, statisticians, mathematicians.. and you were learning long division.

Why in God's name would you stand in line if you pre-ordered? Thats the whole point of pre-ordering, they hold one for you so you don't have to stand in line.

Show up 30 minutes after the door opens, and walk right in and right out with your system

The one here is quick - aside from blops 2 they usually get over 100 people in and out within 15mins or so. Plus im #17 in line i can go at 1150 and be out by 1205 so its no biggie. In fact i may just send my cousin to do it since i already got the ticket. They were actually selling some consoles for tonight while i was there so they arent sold out.

Actually stopped by Gamestop earlier to cancel my Knack & Killzone preoders there and get my 10 bucks back (since I got them on Amazon). I think it was about 2.5 hours ago, around 2 pm, and there were already like 8 people outside waiting in line for launch.

My gamestop gives out tickets for the midnight line and was only 20 people or so there. That aside - Knack looks boring as hell, and i applaud the reviewers for finishing this shit.

I read the Kotaku review and he complained about the lack of diversity, but he also mentions an online feature that allows you to trade collectibles that are used to craft abilities (and as a result add diversity) that he could not benefit from, because of the lack of people playing when he was (or maybe they had to be on his friend list or something?).
