The PS4 releases next friday, and as many of us may know there is always some kind of incident. Some people get robbed, stabbed, what ever. What are you doing to stay safe?
I am going with my armaments. Nothing special!

Some pro-tips if you are going to the midnight launch for either console: 1. Arrive early. Be one of the first in line, you're less likely to be mugged/etc. when theres a huge line of people there to potentially see it (even if your car is further away from the line). 2. Bring a friend, or two. An assaulter will be more intimidated if you have friends with you. 3. Park close to the store entrance, this should be easier to do the earlier you arrive for the midnight launch (see #1). 4. Pick up games, accessories, etc. before midnight launch if at all possible. The less you have to carry the less vulnerable you are. 5. If you can't park close to the store, try your best to park under a light pole. The more visible they are to others, the higher chance they have of being caught, meaning the less likely an assaulter would try to attack you. And the obvious one: 6. Don't go to midnight launch if you are really concerned. The world will still spin if you don't get it at midnight. Some other measures you can take is calling your store and asking if they will have security at the event, if not you can probably call your police station and ask and see if they have an officer available who can help. Also call and make sure what procedures your store is doing so you are better prepared. Pay off your preorder before midnight launch so you don't need to bring your wallet with you (take your ID in if required separately from your wallet). This all being said, the likeliness of this happening to anyone is extremely low, but the possibility is there. It'll be a weeknight on the midnight launch, and again, its at night, when most of the *baddies* lurk. I wish everyone a safe midnight launch in the coming week(s).

Don't tell me what to do, man.

Getting an Xbox One for Christmas, then PS4 later in mid - late 2014. I think I'll be pretty safe.

Not all of us live in Detroit and New Orleans you know? :P
-
Everyone like Xl House lX post! That shit is good to follow.
-
Shipped to my residence.
-
I'm going with a few people so I should be safe.
-
It would be so stupid if someone killed another person who bought a PS4 or XBox One and just took it during Black Friday.
-
I think I laughed harder than I should have.

Have a plan, have a wingman. Chairflight.

The only possible guy that could stab me is the mailman. Since my ps4 is coming from amazon.
-
I'm staying safe by not purchasing it.
-
If you pre ordered it can you pick it up the next day in broad daylight? Or do you think they'll pull some slick shit and make you hold out until restock despite the pre order?
-
I'm going the day after probably. Scared me enough to think twice o___o
-
The easy fix is to not pick up on launch day....or order it online

America and guns huh. So, I'll probably just walk the 20 mins to the game store and pick up my next gen console and then walk home. ; )
-
Console releases are serious business.
-
Amazon prime. Love that shit
-
I'm not getting a PS4 so I'm good.
-
Won't be going. Getting a One first (hopefully with some Christmas funds) and a PS4 a way down the road once prices drop.
-
i'm going to eliminate the danger
