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.

[HolyDuck]

Wonder how long it takes them to get stolen.

[Abriael]

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

[grassyknoll]

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

[seanpitt23]

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

[nirwanda]

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

[Godlovesgamers]

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

[Kleptic]

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

[ShinMaster]

@seanpitt23

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

[zeee]

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!

[Dagobert]

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.

[0ut1awed]

Slave labor is at all time high though.

That's how the place has really thrived.

[pixelsword]

@ 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.

[WorldGamer]

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.

[Omran]

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_laoch]

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

[HolyDuck]

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

Yes, I am a thief.

[Brazz]

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

[grumpc]

I like my jokes funny usually...

[malokevi]

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.

[Beastforlifenoob]

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.

[LackTrue4K]

Duckface is just trolling all articles, but never a Microsoft article....
.....lol!!!

"You just lost a bubble"

[Retroman]

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.

[FlameBaitGod]

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.

[nosferatuzodd]

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

[solid_snake3656]

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

[KonsoruMasuta]

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

[Run_bare]

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

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

They are probably billionaires..

[yellowgerbil]

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

[Beastforlifenoob]

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.

[red_HULK]

Bubbles. You DA man!

[mafiahajeri]

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.

[fghtrer3fb5erg]

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

[Abriael]

bet you they had to sign some thick NDA afterwards.

[fghtrer3fb5erg]

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

[Sharius]

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

[Eonjay]

Awesome

[AceBlazer13]

Lucky bastards

[sevilha82]

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

[DragonKnight]

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

Who am I trying to kid.....

[MysticStrummer]

Cue the dedicated gamer...

[ALARM-clock]

Gentlemen, welcome to Dubai.

[wtopez]

Thanks! Where can I have a beer? WHAT!?

[mafiahajeri]

You trying to imply that there's no beer in Dubai? Lol, you know zilch about Dubai if that's what you mean.

[sigfredod]

Actually i don´t envy them, at least i have to wait for the release and is normal, but i could not withstand to have it on my living and not able to put any game on it, not able to sign up since the PSN for the ps4 is not up yet neither the store, that will torture for me lol

[black0o]

and no games

[Beastforlifenoob]

They found a PS4 I am almost sure if they got the whole dam console early they could get away with getting a game early

[The Meerkat]

Well its good place to find out if there are any overheating problems.

[black0o]

there's things called central air conditioner

[Dagobert]

Lol UAE has air conditioners literally everywhere.

[mafiahajeri]

Meerkat sorry but that was a really stupid comment.

[Roper316]

lucky SOB's, wish I had mine already

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Oh man I would sell that baby so fast!!! 10k starting bid

[Beastforlifenoob]

Why would they sell if for 10K. They probably have 10K lost in their enormous kingly couches

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Well I guess its a good that that I said that "I" would sell it starting at 10k cause I sure as hell don't have 10k lying around.

[Majin-vegeta]

*Books flight to dubai*.

[SeraphimBlade]

Time to invade Dubai!

[pixelsword]

Nah.

:)

[Destrania]

Too bad they don't have anything to play yet. Games won't be released for another month and a half haha.

[nosferatuzodd]

they have a few indie games on it reso gun deep down drive club blacklight retribution all install on their hard drive lol

[sephy]

if the world dont end soon then we should be alright i guess....

[qzp]

[Beastforlifenoob]

Yes oil money

[Goku781]

I would like to get their opinion on what they can gauge from the system so far.

[Mr_Luke]

Lucky ones ;( What are they going to do with it tho? I guess the games aren't out untill the right day? Or maybe not... Whatever, i want mine here, NOW!!! ;_;

[I_am_Batman]

I'm so hyped I would probably spend a whole day unboxing it, set it up and looking through the menus.

[tigertron]

Not sure what the point is if there aren't any games available...

[Mister_G]

Agreed. Would still love to have a play with it anyway, even if it's just the UI :)

[Welcome2Die]

Funny, the people bitching about not having Arabic in the console are the first to get it...

They just cant resist the greatness that is the PS4.

[Jamaicangmr]

I wonder if the network is up already? Still cool that they got it though.

[GentlemenRUs]

As long as its under a NDA where they can't post anything on the internet... I'm fine with it!

Roll on 29th Nov!(Sucks to live in the UK)...
