Ridiculous - they're trying to scalp it and they haven't even bought one yet.  >:(

became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the

This is even worse than awful, seriously. It's gotten to a whole new "absolutely shitty" level...


On a brighter note, anyone who wants to celebrate the 20th anniversary with style can download a free PS Vita / PS3 / PS4 theme on the PSN! I think it's super awesome :) My Vita is rocking it.

Anyone know if there's a way to turn off the PS4's startup "chime" - when you have the anniversary theme on, the chime plays over the original PSX startup sound.  :-\

from a youtube video about disabling the chime:

disabled the PS4 startup sound by going to Settings then Sound and Screen and then unchecking the Key Tone box.

Ah, so you have to disable the keytones too - well, I guess that's acceptable.

So, no word on how to get the system?? ???

Thanks, I had no idea - went ahead & bought one of the LBP faceplates, that also allowed me to make sure my Sony Store account was setup, cc info entered & saved, etc. :)

Damn it, I'm pretty pissed  >:( I was able to get through checkout with one PS4, and then: "LOLNOPE, we don't ship to Canada."

And then Playstation Canada tweets: "Hey guys, Canada has its turn next week!"

Couldn't they have told us BEFORE? I just wasted so much time and energy on this...

Sorry for being so angry, but I hate being messed with like that >_>

I had setup my shipping + billing address beforehand, thanks to Argyle's comment on having his stuff up-to-date, so that went well for me. Guess I'll be ready for next week, at least.  :-\

I saw the submit order button & got to click it once, then the site fell apart again. I don't want to give up, but surely they've sold out by now. So upset - feel like I wasted the entire afternoon. :-\ Bah.

Same here... it *says* I still have one in my cart, but the fact that I get an error every time I try to checkout gives me the impression that it's sold out.  :'(

Ok, now they removed it from my cart while I've been refreshing... there went the last few hours of my life...

But, it's also a blessing that I didn't just drop half a grand on something to just keep on the shelf.

That's one way of seeing it  :P I would totally have opened and used that baby though. Even if it's not all that pretty (I'm no fan of gray haha), the extreme collectibility of it makes it a proud display nonetheless. Then nobody would have the right to be left alone in my living room  ::)


Edit: Just created an entry for the system, in case anyone managed to put their hands on a buy. I'm hoping to be in that number next week.
