PlayStation at Comic-Con: First Public PS4 Hands-On

ComicCon_Blog

As Comic-Con regulars know, there’s nothing more valuable at the yearly convention than time. With panel lines literally out the door and the Exhibitor Hall packed wall-to-wall with scurrying people, it’s often hard to decide how to allocate your precious time. This year, we’re making that decision a no-brainer. Want to know why?

You guessed it (probably because it’s in the headline of this post!) – we’re bringing PS4 to Comic-Con 2013.

For the first time ever, gamers can go hands-on with the PS4. On top of that, we’ll be showing off some of this year’s most highly anticipated PS3 and PS Vita titles, as well as participating in a number of panels throughout the weekend. If that’s not enough, we’re also hosting contests at the PlayStation booth every day where we’ll be giving away PS Vitas!
