The long-awaited PlayStation 4 finally hit shelves on Friday. Many gamers camped out for hours near store entrances to be among the first to get their hands on the next-generation console as soon as the clock struck midnight.
Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant was among the midnight buyers, but he took things one generous step further by buying consoles for others waiting in line, too.

Elated gamers-slash-NFL fans took to social media to share their appreciation. This photo is particularly excellent:

Damn, @DezBryant just bought whoever was in line at a Walmart in Dallas a PS4.— Marquis Rodgers (@MRodgers2405) November 15, 2013
As you can see, there appear to be a bit of confusion about whether Bryant's good deed was actually done at a Walmart or a Best Buy. But the distinction doesn't matter here -- PR-motivated or not, this is a sweet move by a young NFL star whose character is frequently maligned by talking heads and sports fans alike.
