"It was always my goal to try and be one of the first people in the country to get hold of a PS4", he said.
"It certainly takes a lot of commitment and it's been a bit cold out here but it will all be worth it when I get my console."
He described the excitement in the queue for the new console as "electric".

GAME said the demand for pre-orders of the PS4 has been four times higher than with the PS3, and that they have 300 stores open at midnight tonight to cater for the surge in customers.
Martyn Gibbs, CEO, said: "This is bigger than anything we've ever seen before and it is fantastic to be partnering with Sony for the launch.
"The new generation of consoles will be at the forefront of gaming for years to come and we are very excited to see what the future has to hold."
Supermarket chain ASDA has also announced it will open at midnight tonight to start selling its stock of PS4 consoles. ASDA confirmed 144 of its 155 stores will be open at midnight.
Tinie Tempah is performing a set at the PS4 lounge just before midnight ahead of the launch.
The rapper said he was excited to be "part of gaming history".
"I have always been a big gaming fan and it's such an honour to be involved."
The PS4 launches across the UK on 29 November, priced at £349, with over 400 stores hosting special midnight openings on 28 November.
In The Telegraph's review of the PS4, Tom Hoggins says: "It may not be as all-encompassing as the Xbox One, but the result is that it arrives with more confidence and focus. Right now, it is a better video games console than its competitor and is releasing at a more attractive price.
"That it has less exclusive titles to play on it is an obvious problem, and one that makes it hard to recommend the PS4 unconditionally at the time of review. But it has the power and poise to become the best console Sony has ever produced.
