The First Two Owners of a PS4 Outside the Industry Are from Dubai

Quite a few industry professionals have a PS4 by now, or at least a dev kit, but what about normal dudes? Looks like the first two PS4 consoles have found a warm home, and they have done so in Dubai.

As part of a contest during Game 13 Expo in Dubai, two lucky guys got their hands on the console early.

Wonder how long it takes them to get stolen.

Abriael3864d ago

considering that the crime rate in Dubai is very low, probably won't happen.

grassyknoll3864d ago

Very true. As much as I want a PS4, it's not worth possibly losing your hands for!

seanpitt233864d ago

Yes because everyone is rich there is no need to steal.

nirwanda3864d ago

@grassyknoll
I could still use the touch pad with a stump

Godlovesgamers3864d ago

Of course not, Dubai probably has the largest population of million and billionaires in the world.

Kleptic3864d ago (Edited 3864d ago )

^Shanghai has the highest population of millionaires per square mile...so the highest density...but Dubai is up there...

Dumb comment.
Just because you're not rich, doesn't mean you would steal it, would you?

zeee3863d ago

No guys, it's true. I have been to Dubai and even though I can't stand the heat, it's gotta be one of the most safest places on planet earth. Seriously! You could walk with tons of Cash in broad-daylight and you won't feel scared.

But the heat!!! Oh dear lord! It's like summer in Vegas all the time!!! And I can't stand the way they show off their money there. I mean, yeah Ok, so you got oil and crapload of money. Stop flaunting!

Dagobert3863d ago

It's true. I mean they got a fucking place where theres a billion stores all selling gold and they're open until 23:00 with like only one security walking around. When I asked if it was safe the store owner told me he could leave the store unattended right now and no one would dare try to steal due to the consequences. It's pretty safe there.

0ut1awed3863d ago (Edited 3863d ago )

Slave labor is at all time high though.

That's how the place has really thrived.

pixelsword3863d ago

@ zeee:

I used to live in Arizona, and the first summer I was there it was the hottest summer they had in 17 years, with many days over 100, and a few days in the 110 range; so I would love to try Dubai.

D@mn man, you are by far one of the most negative people on this site. Your avatar says it all I guess. It's Friday man, get it together.

Omran3864d ago (Edited 3864d ago )

you are stupid !
there is law in dubai
it is not like GTA so you
can steal what you want

it's not like that

gaelic_laoch3864d ago

That is exactly something someone who would steal one would think! ROFL

HolyDuck3864d ago (Edited 3864d ago )

28 Disagrees for a joke, oh dear. Lighten up.

Yes, I am a thief.

Brazz3864d ago (Edited 3864d ago )

i will give ya a bubble for this last comment. i laughed a lot because of your last comment, but face it, your 1st comment was immature, judgmental and stupid! lol
just joking, without personal offenses

grumpc3864d ago

I like my jokes funny usually...

malokevi3864d ago

It's the fact that your always so hung up on agrees/disagrees that keeps people coming back to disagree with you.

Learn to let go, brah.

Beastforlifenoob3864d ago

Your profile image makes you look like an immature kid and your joke was so stupid. If it said the first two owners of a ps4 outside the industry are from Norway you wouldn't have said anything. Also considering the United Arab Emirates is one of the safes countries in the world and considering the fact Dubai isn't blazing in debt as many other countries are there citizens are more relaxed and don't have to worry as much about their governemnts incompetence effecting their lives.

But you must likely care about none of that as you propably still live in your mothers basement.

Millions of dollars rich arabs in DUBAI im sure they can buy ps4 under the table. i dont believe they won anything but paided for it in black market. Arabs dont play ps4 not worth having your hands cut off.
you right Abrial

that is the reason crime rate is very low in DUBAI no one want their hands cut off.

FlameBaitGod3864d ago

Um you do know that in Dubai crime is almost nonexistent right ? You know that they slice ur hand when u do a small crime and that's y you see how no 1 locks their cars or even have their car windows up.

nosferatuzodd3863d ago

lol lucky bastards news like this just get me depress..

solid_snake36563863d ago

@Kleptic here in America we have the highest number of obese people per square mile.

KonsoruMasuta3863d ago

But it is not the fattest country. Mexico recently took first place. America is #2.

Run_bare3863d ago

Have you been to Dubai, they are rich people there, they can ask Sony for PS4 if they want too.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney3863d ago (Edited 3863d ago )

They are probably billionaires..

Hey friend, how bout I come over and hang out, maybe play some games...

Beastforlifenoob3864d ago

It was probs the 2 poorest in Dubai, they were the poor peasents who only got ferraris instead of Bentleys and got Ps4's instead of Ps5's. How sad for them.

mafiahajeri3863d ago

There are Hardly any emiratis living in Dubai, their all expats. And Dubai don't have that much oil. Abu Dhabi does. Dubai actually got bankrupt and Abu Dhabi had to help them out. Abu Dhabi are the ones that have oil. Dubai make their money by tax. They have a huge pier that a lot of boats pass by and pay tax.

The emirates basically translates to "the states"

They don't cut of your arms, for the ignorant guys above that's only in KSA.

fghtrer3fb5erg3864d ago

How about upload some videos of your ps4´s and show us the UI, etc!

Abriael3864d ago

bet you they had to sign some thick NDA afterwards.

fghtrer3fb5erg3864d ago

probably :( but sony wouldnt do that to their fans would they??? hopefully not!

Sharius3864d ago

true, but to be able these PS4s i can even sign the deal with evil

sevilha823864d ago

Not lucky,very very rich,pulling the strings rich,imagine who they have to know and socialize to get this...petrodollares for the win.

DragonKnight3864d ago

I think Gabriel Iglesias can explain how rich they are much better than any of us can.

Days Gone, 5 Years Later

Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows902h ago(Edited 2h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

mkis0071h ago

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Michiel198957m ago

the score on metacritic is 71 from journos, its 9 points lower than your review so stop making stuff up. They didn't hate it from the start, they on average just liked it slightly less than you.

-Foxtrot54m ago(Edited 54m ago)

@Michiel1989

I'm not making anything up, they held a grudge against it and made stuff up themselves like mkis007 has just pointed out. That 71 on Metacritic is why it didn't get a sequel.

Anyway how can I make anything up when I didn't even mention metacritic in my original post?

Leeroyw2h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno2h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

andy851h ago

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
