As the last big game release Friday before Christmas, much of the focus of today was about the games (and console) that'll be consuming all over the weekend.
Yes, the PlayStation 4 finally launched in the UK and Europe today and, not unexpectedly, PSN was (and likely still is) hammered as Sony deal with an extra side of the world coming onboard the online servers.
As the Killzone: Shadow Fall developers sweated it out to add a launch patch to treat some issues, Sony execs were talking up the power (and price) of the PS4.
If you're still waiting to get a console, or want to relive the countdown to today's launch, you can re-watch yesterday's GRTV Live streams as we played through the launch titles and reported from the European launch event.
But let's not forget the praises sung for the Wii U release of Super Mario 3D World today as well, proving the system may finally have found its killer app.
And as we've seen more and more, our side of the blue marble is embracing the Black Friday deals - here's a roundup of what's cheap.
Lastly Sony have scored again as Guerrilla snagged John Gonzalez, lead writer on Fallout: New Vegas to join their team.
