Be one of the first to go hands-on with the game at <a href="http://east.paxsite.com/" target="_blank">PAX East</a>! Gameplay demos will be happening in a custom-designed setting modeled after one of the game's locales. What’s more, the demo itself is set in Boston, after the city has been decimated by the Cordyceps infection. Hands-on time is limited for each player, but if you manage to reach the end of the demo you’ll be rewarded with one of our tension bricks (that we’ve playfully named Brock).]]></description>

Gameplay demos will be happening in a custom-designed setting modeled after one of the game&#8217;s locales.

Hands-on time is limited for each player, but if you manage to reach the end of the demo you’ll be rewarded with one of our tension bricks (that we’ve playfully named Brock).</p>
<p class="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/8575806340/" title="PlayStation at PAX East 2013 by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8105/8575806340_313f844b5d_n.jpg" width="312" height="176" alt="PlayStation at PAX East 2013"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/8574711255/" title="PlayStation at PAX East 2013 by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8517/8574711255_d7fd768832_n.jpg" width="312" height="176" alt="PlayStation at PAX East 2013"></a></p>
<p>If you go hands-on with the demo, you’ll also receive one of these collectible t-shirts, available in male and female sizes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/8575806286/" title="PlayStation at PAX East 2013 by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8111/8575806286_e31624f21f_z.jpg" width="640" height="360" alt="PlayStation at PAX East 2013"></a></p>
<p>Additionally, Dark Horse Comics has provided us with 250 of a limited run of 500 posters featuring cover art from <a href="http://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/22-393/The-Last-of-Us-American-Dreams-2" target="_blank">The Last of Us: American Dreams</a> issue #2.</p>

<p>Supplies are limited for all items and when they’re gone, they’re gone. If you want to get your hands on this extremely unique and limited memorabilia, stop by the PlayStation booth and be one of the first to play The Last of Us.</p>
<p>The world of Tearaway will also be at PAX East (booth 1193). Media Molecule will be there, and they want to reward everyone who visits with papery treasures! Complete simple challenges to collect buttons, shirts and papercraft items. You&#8217;ll also get a chance to meet the team behind the game and see some Tearaway papercraft concept art.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/7782088360/" title="God of War: Ascension for PS3 by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8300/7782088360_aaec7eddf8_z.jpg" width="640" height="360" alt="God of War: Ascension for PS3"></a></p>
<p>God of War: Ascension’s single-player demo will be at New York Comic Con, giving fans a taste of what to expect next March. In addition, multi-player stations will also be available, where attendees will have a chance to check out the newest way to play God of War.</p>
<p>Ready for Battle? At the PlayStation All-Stars kiosk, you can get your hands on the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/">PlayStation 3</a> and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita</a> versions of the game, and see for yourself what everyone&#8217;s been talking about.</p>
<p>You can also snag a voucher for a 30-day trial of <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psn/playstation-plus/">PlayStation Plus</a> if you swing by the booth (#1728). Why is that a big deal? &#8216;Cause that&#8217;s going to give you early access  to try out the Beta when it goes live later this month. Stay tuned to <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/">PS.Blog</a>, as the All-Stars team will have more news on the Beta front very soon.  But, if you can’t wait until Friday to get your hands on PlayStation All-Stars, come out to our Community Meet-Up on Thursday, October 11th from 7:00PM to 9:00PM at <a href="https://plus.google.com/103431875919189939721/about?gl=us&#038;hl=en">Skylight West</a>, where you can enter the PlayStation All-Stars tournament . Be sure to get there early to get your hands on All-Stars and practice your fighting skills. The final four fighters will win a free copy of PlayStation All-Stars for PS3 and PS Vita, and the tournament champion will win one of our brand new <a href="http://us.playstation.com/ps3/systems/uncharted3-gameofyear-bundle.html">UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception Game of the Year Edition Hardware bundles</a> for the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/09/18/tgs-2012-smaller-lighter-ps3-model-unveiled/">new slim PS3 console</a>.</p>

<p>And lastly, who isn’t excited about LittleBigPlanet Karting? Race over to the booth and give it a go! You can play a track, an arena, or even a dinosaur destroying a city (yep!) &#8211;  this game has a ton to offer. We&#8217;ll be there all four days, and we&#8217;ve got four separate stations for you to play at, so be sure to stop by and test drive the fastest LittleBigPlanet yet!</p>
