    So looks like Sony has a partnership with Amazon, and they will be allowing Amazon to sell digital content directly to gamers. In other words, there will be competition when it comes to PSN content (sounds like they might be interested in other partnerships as well). Pretty big deal, and not something I was expecting at all.

    Not really any PS4 content yet I think, but there does seem to be a lot of games that are cheaper on Amazon than they are on PSN.

    I hope he only makes like $16,500/year tops. Otherwise, something is wrong with America.

    When i bought my games this morning from target, they were having a team meeting right by where I was checking out. They said they're getting 24 ps4's and only 8 are reserved.

    It's the target on 1960 and cutten

    I didn't like the guy at first, but I actually enjoy his games commentary now. He can be funny.

    Those of you who will be going to stores on midnight or Friday morning, what are your strategies?

    Got my tracking this morning and mine should be here tomorrow morning, boy not only free but early? Can't complain, thanks Taco Bell. Also I've been to Target twice (Sunday and Today) and came away empty handed, ended up ordering from Amazon.

    I retired from that, but I did stand in line for PS3.

    A key tactic of mine was to have the cops come out and do a curfew check. It helps thin out the line. I'm not sure if there still is a curfew in Houston or what age it affects. Also, I drove out to the Best Buy in Richmond/Rosenberg so the law might have been different there at the time. Driving out to that particular suburb was also good strategy, the line was much shorter than anywhere else.

    A guy in line made a threat, the cops were called on him and he had guns in his car. He spent the night in jail. Calling the cops is always a good thing.

    Make sure you stay up late so you're tired and can just pass out. That or medicate yourself with something. Don't mess with alcohol, you'll have to pee too much and it's no fun having to pee in those conditions.

    This was before Twitter/smartphones so I'm sure there are all kinds of nuances I don't know about and hope to never know about.

    Is there a Toyota Center attendance joke in here somewhere or are you just looking for attention?

    For PS3 they sent 26 units (I believe) to all the major outlets (Best Buy). Sears got like 0-4. I don't think there's a shortage this year though.

    Congrats. I want Amazon to ship mine now! I feel like I might get it Thursday instead of Friday but we'll see. Games too. I managed to get free 1 day shipping for the console and all the games, but one of my games free. Pretty happy with that, almost makes up for the fact I can't just walk in the store and pick it up.

    Ugh, f that noise. I stood in line for MW3 at the Galleria Microsoft Store and it was one of the worst things I've ever done with 2 hours. I can't imagine actually camping out for one of these.

    You think the executive editor of one of the biggest entertainment websites should only make 16k? I made that much when I was a shift lead at Blockbuster. Something is wrong with you, my friend.

    Anyone here know if Amazon will ship NBA 2k14 to be delivered on launch day? I pre-ordered and it says they don't have an estimated delivery date yet. I ordered a copy already from gamestop but since Amazon offered the buy 1 get 1 free I decided to order from them and return the gamestop copy.
