Ok I said in the thread that I was going to wait until ~ March for my PS4 (as that is when Infamous is due to be relased), but well....
Quick(long) backstory:
In Sainsburys on Friday night checking to see what they had for the Xbox One and noticed whilst walking past the doors for the stock room (which were ajar), that they had written "Xbox One / PS4 due in Sunday". Saturday night we were away so Sunday morning we left early and got there for opening. PS4's weren't due in until 2. Rang up at 2, lorry delayed until 3 due to traffic. Rang up at 2:45 to be told three people were already in the queue with 6 consoles available
. Managed to get there a few minutes later and ended up 5th in the queue. Missed out on the Kilzone bundles, but managed to get a normal one and bought Killzone seperately.
I'm sad to say that, for the hour I was waiting in the queue I was like a kid on Christmas morning. My wife (who had kindly decided to wait with me) was not amused!
Got it home and after faffing for a bit I got it up and running without any issue. Watched a couple of DVD's and installed Killzone, but haven't managed to play beyond the very intial section - which I did on the Vita in bed...
First impressions; I like the controller but prefer the Xbone one. I love the UI in comparison to the Xbone's, but both appear a little buggy and have a lot of room for improvement. My unit is quiet but I haven't used it in anger yet (no doubt it will be louder than the eerily silent Xbone.
A couple more pictures;
All set up (portable sun warning!):
Controller comparison:
Offscreen Killzone (excuse the poor lighting here, my Lumia really struggled with the Vita's screen):
Offscreen play works very well but there is a hint of lag to the controls. For me it is acceptable for single player but wouldn't be for multiplayer. Something like Knack would be absolutely fine on it.
Going to play a bit more tonight but have work first. Only 10 hours to go.

It's my birthday on wednesday. Was hoping to get one of these for then but it's looking doubtful
