Official PlayStation 4 Unboxing Video: Say, Does Mr. Yoshida Make House Calls?

Okay, usually I’m not fond of unboxing videos, but this one? I absolutely LOVE IT. because it;s funny as hell to me. Sony has been riding on a big (and next-gen looking) wave of goodwill ever since they announced the PS4 and the steamroller of game trading the good old fashioned way in that hilarious short clip from this year’s E3. The company’s official unboxing video continues the amusing tone set by Shuhei Yoshida in that older video and it’s funny enough that I think it needs to be shown in retail locations all this week until the big day hits this Friday the 15th when the PS4 officially rolls out. Now, I can’t be one of those lucky ones to get a day one console (my finances are hurtin’ at the moment), but I’d not mind at all if Mr. Yoshida and his white gloves would drop on by with a special package at some point. I’d not turn him away at all. On the other hand, if someone from Microsoft rolls up in a white van, I’ll be calling up the proper authorities and pronto.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know… but it’s NOT system bias on my part. I’ll more than likely get a Xbox One at some point… the day I can play it offline without getting an Xbox Live Gold account or having to log on for a mandatory update (which I can’t do from home anyway).

FUSE Unboxing Video: This One Is At Least Intentionally Funny…

In case you didn’t know, I really dislike unboxing videos. For me, it’s a waste of time, white cotton gloves when the person making the video is wearing them (and looking like a game usher!) and basically, the majority of the ones I’ve seen are just smug “look what I got” videos or just show off one big reason the industry is having issues with some AAA games that seemingly get overpriced Collector’s Editions for no really good reason but to be in someone’s unboxing video. Thankfully, Insomniac Games has read my mind and come up with the *ULTIMATE* in unboxing videos for their new PS3 and Xbox 360 game FUSE, set for release on May 28 (in the US) and May 31 (In Europe). I say just get me the game and I’ll play and enjoy it – no statues, comic books, CD soundtrack, artbook or other goodie necessary, as they won’t fit into my consoles anyway…

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate: Two Ways For Four To Dispatch A Ton of Dinosaurs…

Wii U and 3DS owners are doing the happy dance around that blazing campfire (or they’ve cut a hole in a carpet to start one) today as Capcom has finally gotten the eagerly awaited Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate into retailers. 3DS owners who bought the game from the wonderful Capcom Online Store got a pretty cool bonus system case you’ll see in that video below. I usually hate unboxing vids, but it’s been a looooong day of still fruitless waiting for UPS and not getting much done, so I’m tired and a bit cranky because I didn’t get all the posts up I needed to. Hell, at least the Post Office delivers close to the same times each day, bleh… Well, tomorrow is another day, but I’ll be playing catch-up so I can stay on my target for the month.

 

WETA Workshop Makes Valve’s Day (And Mine Too)…

OK, now THIS is pretty damn cool. Then again, everything WETA does or has done in the past has managed to be beyond awesome. As you can see here, that turret is exactly like the ones from the Portal games (but I bet it can’t sing!). Of course, if you never hear a peep from the company after this and it turns out WETA made the thing TOO well (as in fully functioning and happily psychotic), well… there’s a very awesome one of a kind collectible some brave Portal fan can volunteer to retrieve. Hmmm… that might make a pretty cool mod, huh?

Steel Battalion Heavy Armor Press Kit: OK, Capcom, You’re Killing Me!

Argh… It’s “bad” enough I’ll soon be getting a Kinect here and knocking over plants and stuff while I’m spazzing out in front of my TV, but Capcom is making me want to see one of these cool press kits miraculously show up at my doorstep. I’m still kicking myself for not snapping up that last Xbox Steel Battalion when I had the chance (hey, it was that or a new console for work, and the new console won). Anyway, they’re giving one of these babies away on their Capcom Unity blog for you non-press folks, by the way. I’m betting From Software is going to surprise a LOT of people with the game, but what else is new? People keep underestimating these guys and they just keep on pulling out surprise after surprise…

Courtesy of the PlayStation Blog, here’s what those lucky folks who pre-ordered a Vita First Edition Bundle will be getting on February 15, a week before the official North American launch. For those smiling folks bouncing up and down in their seats that need a good game recommendation or two, right off the bat Gravity Rush and Uncharted: Golden Abyss should keep you busy along with the pack-in game you’re getting.

Uncharted 3 Collector’s Edtion Unboxing Video

The game isn’t even out yet, but as unboxing videos are all the rage for these more expensive limited editions, here’s what the Collector’s Edition of Drake’s Deception looks as it’s stripped down to its assorted parts. Very nice indeed (and thanks for Sony for posting it on the PlayStation Blog). I’m more of a standard edition guy myself, but I’d not turn down one of these if it happened to drop on my doorstep.
