Jan We were humbled this week by the massive turnout at this week’s Vita Social Club meetups. We had never held more than one in a week, and here we were in five cities over two days, and close to 1500 of you turned out. That was awesome, especially considering the conditions in places like Chicago, where it was really damn cold!
If you weren’t able to make it out to one of our grand opening events last week, fear not, as we’re open in eight cities through launch. Click here for details. We’re also in the planning stages of four more events – look for details here soon.

When can we expect for PS Vita news to start ramping up? I found an article that showed what the exclusive case that comes with the PS Vita will look like and it would be great if you guys had several videos explaining the accessories so we can all get our lists ready of what we’ll be purchasing :)
