This past weekend the PS4 officially launched in the Middle East, and one of the largest distributors in the region Geekay Games, had a midnight launch at their various stores. We headed down to their branch at the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai, and were greeted by a massive mob at the store's entrance. Eager gamers who had pre-ordered their consoles stood around waving their little pieces of paper as if they were golden tickets, waiting until the clock struck midnight so they could claim what they came for.

Several others also queued up to try and grab one of the PS4 units on the night itself, as Geekay had a limited stock of consoles for those who hadn't got the chance to preorder the past month. Cosplayers also mingled with the crowds to provide a bit of entertainment, and Geekay played a highlight reel to showcase some of the great games coming to the PS4.

Geekay is now officially sold out of PS4 units and hope to get more stock in soon. Check out the photo gallery below, and leave a comment here if you were lucky enough to grab your console!
