Remembering past video game console launches

For younger gamers, the release of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this month will quite possibly be their first console launch.

Think back and try to imagine what it might be like to be a kid right now with the Xbox One and the PS4 looming, and set to be released in only a few weeks.

I was there day one for the Xbox 360 launch. It felt so awesome. What was really amazing in hindsight was that, that console lasted 3 years before it suffered a RROD

Given that it seems about half suffered that defect within a year's time, that's amazing, indeed.

This is my first launch day purchasing a system. 1 week left!!

Enjoy it, its a unique experience. Especially if you go to a midnight launch or an early opening

I have one preordered from GameStop that I will get on the 15th , but I'm going to line up at futureshop to get a midnight release ps4 because I don't wanna wait till Friday afternoon, will just sell my second ps4 , I can't wait!

chito1016d3818d ago

Yeah ill be in line that day. It's been cold here in San Francisco but having my console ASAP is a must. I have lined up for shoes before but hopefully this experience is a little more civil and enjoyable

I've experienced every console launch since the Atari 2600. The PS4 launch ranks up there with some of the best. I don't know why, but it has given me that kid at Christmas feeling again. Something I have experienced in many years. Only a week away.

This launch will be different because we can all experience it throught pre orders in a larger scale, thanks to amazon that grew in this gaming gen. Nothing beats that camping outside and having that little thought behind your back that you might not get one but the great amazing feeling you get when you do

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
