Meet the first customer to get a PS5. He was also the first to get a PS4.

Joey Chiu, who was the first to buy the PlayStation 4 for its 2013 launch, and the first to get a PS4 Pro when it launched in 2016, out of the blue got a PlayStation 5 from Sony.

“Patience is a virtue, it’s for you,” read the note inside the box.

The acquisition of Chiu on PS4 in 2013 was one of the funniest stories of this insanely fun year for video games. He just wanted to get a PS4 and sort of found himself first in line when the console launched in New York in November. Andrew House, the president of Sony Computer Entertainment (as it was called then) and Jack Tretton, the American boss of SCE, brought Chiu on stage for the ceremony of handing over the first console.

House and Tretton – who five months earlier had gone to the mat for players of one of the greatest all-time keynotes on E3 in galaxy history – stared with sufficient benevolence at the camera, as Chiu was pointing at himself with a mock me? ”Surprise. After hoisting the PS4 box, Chiu released the Antonio Banderas reaction meme – which Sony studio Shuhei Yoshida and Naughty Dog memorable followed.

So yes, with a global pandemic making such in-person fun impossible this time around, well Sony to always call back in the moment. After getting the PlayStation 5 on Tuesday, two days before its launch, Chiu tweeted the news. Sony USA followed up with a response to five emoticons.

The PlayStation 5 will officially launch tomorrow. It was difficult to find a pre-order, and Sony said it would only be available for sale through online storefronts on day one. Walmart.com will have units ready for order at four different times starting at noon ET on Thursday.
