You sound like when Smeagol murdered Deagol.

Haha. Yeah, he really did.

It turned out to be true.

I don't know if I really want to get the system just for Knack.

I mean I really like Knack but it just feels wrong to get the system for THAT one game.

Hope you didn't preorder that bundle at Target because any preorder bundle with delayed games is getting cancelled and will start over again on a first come, first serve basis.

I have a feeling that this generation's launch is going to be just as shaky as last generation. Maybe I'll just stick with my original plan and wait a year or two until all the bugs have been worked out. It's like you said man, it's hard to make a large purchase like that for one game and a lot of potential. I mean the first year or two of the 360 and PS3 were pretty slim pickings on games and one console was pretty badly plagued by hardware trouble. I'm sure Microsoft learned from experience last time and the Xbox One will be better ventilated, but I just can't help but feel there's going to be some hardware or gameplay problems with this new generation for a year or so. I mean it's not like games stopped being produced for the PS2 or Xbox after their successors came out, and in fact some of the best games of the last console generation came out during that time like Bully, Shadows of the Colossus, and God of War 2. I still need to catch up on the Playstation 3 library of games that I've completely missed this generation and am hoping that a leaked Black Friday ad for GameStop turns out to be true because if it is they're offering a 250 GB Playstation 3 with Batman: Arkham Origins and The Last of Us for $200.

Believe me, if I could've drowned him in a river and stolen his computer without getting caught I totally would've.

I pre-ordered from Gamestop. They sent me an email saying I could change my bundle. I changed it to driveclub only to have that delayed. Gamestop will still send me the system alone then next year when drive club is released then they will send me the game.

I don't mean to double post but my PS4 Camera is being shipped to me. I guess they are on sale now at Gamestops and also the PS4 controllers as well.

Mr. Charlie · 11-06-2013, 12:28 PM

What games have you pre-ordered with your PS4?

This generation has been going for so long I can easily understand why people are pre-ordering next gen systems but it's a shame no new and exciting AAA games are being released at launch.

I'm getting Knack. Pretty excited for it. I would have preferred Drive Club or Watch Dogs but Knack is just as good. A new platformer AAA game.

Love this goofy unboxing video.

That Knack does look promising. One to keep an eye on. Definitely.
