Want to Meet-Up at GDC 2009?

During the thick of this year’s Game Developers Conference, we’ve set up an area for bloggers/media to drop by, put their feet up, file their stories, play our new and upcoming games, eat our food, get caffeinated, and chat with some of our top developers. Not bad, right?

If I wasn’t working at PlayStation, sounds like something I’d want to attend. So, we figured, why not? Which is why we’re going to open up our PlayStation.Blog.Lounge to our readers and fans during a special GDC Meetup, next Wednesday evening (March 25th, 7-9pm) in San Francisco. BTW, please don’t complain that it’s not at [insert your hometown here] – we don’t run the convention!

PlayStation.Blog readers, fanboys, aspiring bloggers and gamers are all welcome to eat, drink, meet, chat, and maybe even play some stuff that isn’t out yet ;-)

Space is super limited, so you need to click the registration button below to RSVP and let us know you’ll be there:

We hope to see you next week!

PS: BRING YOUR PSP!

Signed up and ready to go, I wish GDC was still in San Jose much easier commute from cupertino after work…

  Dude, 280 in Cupertino is *rough*, but once you hit Palo Alto, pretty smooth sailing. You\’ll be fine.

COOL! I wish I could go, but since I can’t drive and I have to go to school… It’s an extremely unfortunate no… :(

But, still, it’s a GREAT idea, and believe me, I WILL go to at least ONE of these events! I just have to! lol

If I bribed you, could you set up a laptop on a rolling tv stand and push it around so I could mingle via web cam?
- Jeff Rubenstein
  March 18, 2009 at 5:17 pm PDT
  
  Hmm, maybe we could run something on UStream? I\’ll look into it.

Craiji
March 18, 2009 at 3:08 pm PDT

boss, will let me leave early! Yeah I work at the place that makes cupertino traffic so rough. Is there parking nearby? or should I just bart it?
- Jeff Rubenstein
  March 18, 2009 at 5:18 pm PDT
  
  Well, BART doesn\’t go to Cupertino, but it\’s walking distance from the Montgomery station.

March 18, 2009 at 3:19 pm PDT

@34 – How awesome would a Home Space of GDC be though? I am crossing my fingers they at least have an E3 Home Space complete with trailers, clips, and possibly exclusive access to demos! That would be so incredibly sweet.

Yay, that’s close to where I am! Just south the border! … If only I knew where Leipzig is, and how to get there… Oh and to be 18 and completely independente of your parents’ plans xD

  Of course it\’s free.

Why dont you come to Scotland, or more accurately Shetland, that would be nice
- Jeff Rubenstein
  March 18, 2009 at 5:20 pm PDT
  
  Yes, that would be nice. You can buy the McEwans (that\’s Scottish, right?)

Hopefully the 90 mile drive for me won’t take forever with traffic. Heading into SF from Sacramento isn’t usually as bad as heading out, so I should be ok.

I wish that I could be there and meet up with you Jeff and my fellow Playstation fans. Unfortunately, I live too far away. However, I wish everyone that is traveling to GDC ’09 a very safe trip and a great time!

I won’t be going sadly, but will show up to E3 most likely.

Hope you have fun, very excited, what with all the rumors flying around.

Awesome Jeff.

Also, the Announcements section in the navigation panel…the links take you directly to the PlayStation home page. Is there special privileges one must have or are the links broken?
- Jeff Rubenstein
  March 18, 2009 at 5:21 pm PDT
  
  Hmm, I\’ll check into that…
