Arrived at Yodobashi Umeda at 6 am.


Although the neighborhood is dim, Yodobashi Umeda store is fully prepared for PS4 release.


Regular sale of PlayStation 4 and delivery of reservation is from 7 am.


Looking for a designated place urouro.


I found a matrix.


This is the beginning of the queue.


The queue is divided into 4 rows: "Booking in October, December," "Reservation in January", "Booking in February" and "Regular Sales".


Do you anticipate congestion, a road cone is placed behind the queue.


Umeda is gradually getting brighter.


At 6:30 am, the number of people lined up increased little by little.


A staff member with a signboard notifying the end of the queue appeared.


Staff are also dispatched from SCE.


The staff of the SCE distributed PS4 and disposable hand warmers printed out to people lined up.


Staff of Yodobashi Umeda also appeared.


This is the entrance of JR Osaka station side of Yodobashi Umeda.


At Yodobashi Umeda's entrance to JR Osaka station side, the staff is guiding people who came to purchase PS 4 with a loud voice.


At 6:50, the queue of "reservation for October 11, December" started moving.


Zorozoro


It was another entrance that the queue was guided.


The "January reservation" queue arrived.


The queue just before launch was like this, and the number of people who were lining up in the queue of "10 · 11 · December reservation" was the most.


There are no more than ten people in "Reservation in January" and "Booking in February".


The "regular sale" queue was also guided and came.


This completes the movement of all matrices.


The beginning of the matrix. It is several minutes after release.


The staff also starts to move hastily.


And we celebrated 7 am on February 22, 2014.

Movement to the inside of the store is smooth without confusion.


Subsequently, the "January booking" and "February booking" queue moved to the store.


The "regular sale" queue also starts moving.


People who arrived at Yodobashi Umeda after 7 o'clock also flatter.


And no one has left.
