Reader Discussion: Do You Have Any Rituals Or Habits In Advance Of Console Launches?
The PlayStation 4 launch is just a few days away, and last week I compulsively started cleaning my office. Don’t get me wrong, it definitely needed to be straightened up a bit, but the timing was suspicious.
I started thinking about past console launches and realized that I tidy up right before each one. I think about where the console will go in the entertainment center, brainstorm how best to keep as many components connected as possible, and rewire as necessary.
At that moment I realized that I ritualized console launches. We’re wondering if you have any habits or traditions that you do before bringing a new piece of technology into your game space.
If not, this cycle is a perfect time to start. You don’t really want to put new hardware on a dusty surface, do you?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
