Ready for Launch Night

I just got back from my local specialist retailer, with a receipt in hand for my pre-paid PlayStation 4. They're taking money now to speed up the process on Thursday/Friday, with thousands of gamers expected to turn up and grab their new consoles at midnight tomorrow night.

I don't normally bother with midnight launches (unless they're Halo-related), but this time it's different. It's exciting that the next-gen is now almost fully out in the wild. With the Xbox One coming last week, followed by PlayStation 4 this, there's never been a more exciting - or expensive - time to be a dedicated gamer than right now. I'm grabbing Battlefield 4 and Killzone: Shadowfall (I know in a previous blog I mentioned I couldn't choose between the two - in the end I didn't, I chose both), and look forward to shooting some of you in the early hours of Friday morning.
