Today, I can claim victory, and these trinkets as my spoils. To avoid the typical rat race that is the launch of a new console generation, I decided to go out to Gamestop today and see if they began taking preorders on the PlayStation 4. Fortunately for me, they were. I'm getting a PS4 day one, along with Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4 (the dog tags came with the Battlefield preorder).
When I was in 8th grade, trying to get a PS3 at launch was next to impossible. People camped outside of stores for days for their chance to get their hands on one. I went to Sam's Club at 6 in the morning the day of release to see if they had any, seeing as there was no line outside the store, only to find out that they had exactly one console for sale for the one other person who was waiting. The next few weeks I called every store in town almost every day asking if they got any more in, until eventually I was able to get one at a Best Buy near my grandparents' house in West Virginia. I'm so glad that I don't have to go through that again. Or pay $600 for the console.
