The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

 
Guys, 

1. Buy 2 get 1 free at target.

2. Return 2 at walmart (can return w/o receipt 3 times a year per address, but just say you got them as a gift)

3. Get $120+ tax in walmart giftcards

4. Buy 2 get 1 one free at Walmart. (Gift receipt for all games just in case you can do step 2 with receipts)

repeat steps 2-4 as many times as you want

final step

return x amount of games for $60 each in walmart giftcards

ultimate step

return at least 7 games for enough store credit to get your very own Playstation 4

unfortunately my walmarts don't PROMO match, they only price match.
Man, not to sound holier than thou, but don't you feel at least a little guilty scamming your way into so many free games?  I mean especially considering you were able to plop down the $400 for the system itself?  
 
Meth already said not to discuss retail fraud in another thread.
thanks for the heads up.

I was so excited to potentially go back live it up like the good old Toys R Us days, that we all abused.  Still have a few games from the aftermath.  Anyways, can't complain, PS4 is already pretty inexpensive.

you missed the ultimate step, to eventually get the ps4 from returned games, thus getting the ps4 for $120+ tax.

but i agree it was a little much.  Im not one to usually try and screw people/companies over.  You fender bender me with no significant damage, im not the one who claims injury and damages.  But a deal like this, where its proven to work in the past, why not?

I was just gonna post my haul and feel great about it, but it doesn't even work.

I have a question for those of you looking for a PS4 but didn't preorder?  Why didn't you preorder?  Were you undecided on which system to get?  On Amazon you could preorder both and neither would be billed to your card until it shipped.  Were you just not sure that you wanted to get one?  I'm just asking.  It seems like a lot of the hassle could have been avoided by preordering. 
 
How many of ya''ll got extended warrantys?.. i think im gonna grab  a square trade one before the 30 days is up

The PS4 come with a 1 year warranty from Sony.

I'm going to wait 11 months then get Sony's 2 year extended warranty which is $49 for the normal plan and the other plan that includes incidental coverage is $59.

In the event something does go wrong with your system, the one disadvantage is having to ship and wait for your console to be repaired or wait for a replacement that in all possibility might be refurbished. In-store warranties allow you to go back to the store you bought it from and walk out with a new one. It's slight advantage in my opinion but nothing major. It's good for people who get separation anxiety from their consoles while its shipped off.
 
Truuuuu

But if your console dies first week they prolly ain't having one for you to take home

i didn't preorder bc my brother preordered from amazon.  (don't live with him) I'll be at his house on friday though for the delivery, he works that day.  Told myself, i don't need it until MGS V, but will still try and grab one on Friday.  Will check out 24 hr wal-marts in my area at midnight to see if i can get my hands on one
 
My Gamestop is handing out numbers starting at 6 on Thursday.. Then close at 9 I think he said and reopen at 11. I'm gonna try to go there at like 530 and just chill try to get that first ticket.. That way I can head out there at like 11:55 pick it up and go home :pimp:

Mine is doing the same.

BUT they also said they are selling off the rest of their stock at 6pm as well, so there will most likely be tons of people there who didn't preorder in line way before 6. Probably a few who will camp overnight.

I'm not sure if all GameStops are doing it this way, but I would check before you assume that you will get the first ticket by getting there at 5:30.
 
How Assassin's Creed 4's Remote Play works on PlayStation 4

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is one of the more robust third-party titles to be ported to next-generation consoles, but in a brief hands-on session with the PlayStation 4 version played on a PlayStation Vita via Remote Play, we could detect almost no differences in the shrunken-down handheld version of the open-world title.

According to Sylvain Trottier, associate producer on the next-gen versions of Black Flag at developer Ubisoft Montreal, it only took the studio a few days to get Remote Play up and running — "like, half a day" to read the software development kit and then "a day or two" to remap the game's controls for the PS Vita. The handheld's default layout for Remote Play games wasn't suitable for Black Flag, said Trottier, because it puts the L3 and R3 buttons and the triggers on the device's rear touchpad — a problematic control scheme for the way Black Flag handles aiming for gameplay elements like naval battles.

Instead, Remote Play on Black Flag puts the triggers on the PS Vita's shoulder buttons, and shunts the rarely used L3 and R3 clicks to the handheld's touchscreen. We played through a full battle on the open sea through Remote Play after dying during one on a PS4. And although Trottier acknowledged the controls would "take some getting used to," we adapted relatively quickly and were able to survive a fight with several smaller ships.

Trottier also pointed out that because Remote Play is built into the PS4's hardware, it doesn't eat up any system resources that the developers would have already been able to access. We were playing in a relatively controlled environment and noticed only a split-second instance of some pixelation in the wirelessly streamed game, so it seems that Remote Play will work fairly well for players who have a strong Wi-Fi signal on their local network.

Can't get too excited just yet but it's all falling in place

Nah I'll probably not get the first ticket.. I was just being optimistic

I honestly don't even care what ticket I get.. the farther back  my ticket the later I'll head out. At least they ain't making people wait outside since they're opening back up at 11.. Already talked to the manager. I didn't ask whether if they're selling off the rest of their stock or not. I went in there this past weekend to ask how they're going about midnight release and that's what he told me. Ticket will be handed out at 6 and store will reopen at 11.

And if it's hella packed at 5:30 I'll just go back another time.. it doesn't matter to me as long as I get my ticket so if I don't go to midnight release I can pick it up when they open at 9

I have a 40GB PS3 that has YLOD. Will gamestop take it with the YLOD or should I just do the temp fix and take it in?
Any idea how much they are giving back?
