Morpheus posted:I don't think there's ever been a console reveal that people have been happy with the design of, and every time it never matters anyway. I remember people getting huffy about the 'plain black rhombus' of the ps4, the 'george forman grill' ps3, etc. It's a dumb ritual.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:I actually like the design of the PS4 quite a bit and didn't think the PS2 / 3 were bad either. This one just looks pretty goofy and it's gonna look really jarringly conspicuous next to anything else entertainment-related that I own but yeah at the end of the day it's not really a big deal. It's not the design I would have chosen but I don't care enough since it's not about looking at it, but looking at the games.

We Got Us A Bread posted:I did like the teases, though. "It's going to look like a big ps4! It's going to look like that render that's been floating around the internet forever, you know, the one with the weird "V" in the middle! Nope, it looks like a weird flower vase thing!" Well it is kind V shaped  . Maybe I can put it behind my TV.

Shammypants posted:So if you need help on Best Buy, add the preorder to the cart and you'll likely get failure messages and no access to the cart. Google "best buy cart" or go to https://www.bestbuy.com/cart to see if it was successfully added and checkout. "Sorry, we're having a system issue, but it should only be temporary. Please wait a little while before trying again."

DC Murderverse posted:After an hour of clicking i got to the payment page for Best Buy and then it auto-refreshed and now I’m back at square one, but now with a heart filled with hate and betrayal. Say what you will about Amazon, but their website isn't immediately hosed whenever something popular has preorders going live.

Oh gently caress, my Gamestop order went through. Guess I'll cancel it if I can get it from Amazon.

Got the confirmation email from Gamestop. It's on. Somehow I think Xbox One X will be much easier next week.

Samurai Sanders posted:I assume it's the same as any other server management economic calculation: do you really want to have enough server capacity to support the busiest day (or hour or minute) of a period of months or years, when it's 100,000 times the capacity you need for the whole rest of that time? Most organizations would say no. That's really smart and all, but I was under the impression that nowadays these things can be scaled up automatically based on need. I doubt a company like Best Buy needs to have its own datacenter with 5 Pentium IIIs running Windows XP on them. I'm afraid that's what they're doing though...

CaptainCrunch posted:20 min hitting the purchase button then the page blanks out and dumps me back to the main BB page I'm on the payment page. Every 20-30 or so I get the text message that welcomes me to their text updates, so it's failing at different steps, great.
