PS4 on sale in ASDA midnight opening The company is not confirming how many PS4s it has in stock, but it is expected to be a sizeable number given the scale of the announcement and the number of stores involved. Sony is also planning its own launch event in Covent Garden, London, where it will have PS4s for sale without pre-ordering. Launch day pre-orders for Sony's PS4 have been sold out since August, so this could be the last chance for anyone who wants to get their hands on a console before Christmas. The PS4s will be available at the 'PS4 Lounge' in London's Covent Garden on a first come, first served basis from midnight on Thursday. Queuing for the launch event will start from Thursday morning. Those in attendance at the event will be kept fed and watered by event partners Domino's and Red Bull, and will be treated to an exclusive performance by Tinie Tempah. "We really wanted to offer some way for people to buy on launch day, and this is a fantastic opportunity for anyone that hasn't already pre-ordered to get their hands on a PS4 on day one," said Fergal Gara, MD and VP, Sony Computer Entertainment UK & Ireland. In The Telegraph's review of the PS4, Tom Hoggins says: "It may not be as all-encompassing as the Xbox One, but the result is that it arrives with more confidence and focus. Right now, it is a better video games console than its competitor and is releasing at a more attractive price. That it has less exclusive titles to play on it is an obvious problem, and one that makes it hard to recommend the PS4 unconditionally at the time of review. But it has the power and poise to become the best console Sony has ever produced. "It may take some time to hit its stride, but with the PS4"s sense of identity and the Xbox One's manoeuvrability, the next-generation console battle is set to be the most exciting yet."
