Hi everyone! This is my first official PlayStation.Blog entry, and I’m here to invite all the Canadian PlayStation fans out to a great event…an annual event…an exclusive event…
Yes, unbelievably, it’s that time of year again and we are rapidly approaching what many PlayStation fans look forward to all year: the PlayStation Holiday Preview Event party!
This year’s event will take place on October 5 from 5pm to 9pm at the brand-new Sony Centre in downtown Toronto (formerly the old Hummingbird Centre). We’ll be the second event to open up the centre, and everyone is welcome.
What titles are you looking forward to playing? Killzone 3? Gran Turismo 5? SOCOM 4? What about LittleBigPlanet 2? Have a few titles in mind that aren’t first party? That works too, because we are giving you, our fans, exclusive access to all the hottest titles before they hit the retail shelves this holiday season.
Partying at our own ‘centre’ is great, but it wouldn’t be a party without some third party developers. Activision, Disney, Konami, EA, Namco, Ubisoft, Warner and many more will be on board to show you what games they’ve got up their sleeves.
While we can’t guarantee a Kevin Butler appearance like we had at E3, we will provide you with hands-on time with all your favourite titles, live DJs spinning, and delicious food. Because everyone knows that the way to a gamer’s heart is through the games they play and the food they eat!
October may not be cold enough for toques and mittens, but what you can bring are your friends, family members, and frenemies if you like. So if you’re not too busy on a Tuesday evening, come down to the Sony Centre and find out what we’re up to this year.
RSVP to the PlayStation Holiday Preview Event, and please visit our Facebook page for more information.
can i bring my 2 bricked ps3’s, one un-sync-able dual-shock controller and my usb cam that is not recognized by the ps3 for a refund?
WHAT!!!!??? This sucks!!! L.A. NEVER get’s anything like this!!! I want to move to Canada now!! ;)
Niice. October’s gonna be an awesome month.
Although Toronto isn’t right next door to Vancouver, it is encouraging to see more events in Canada.
Any plans for the Golden city anytime in the near future? (Vancouver)
OMFGGGGG O: Im deff going, but i have to go to school and i guess the entrance will be pretty packed up :/… gonna think about it
I agree with EVERYTHING krae_man said.
From the fans point of view, SCE Canada looks pointless. We rarely get any contests, any events, Playstation.ca is useless. Is Playstation Canada actually going to start getting involved in the community on a regular basis?
Can I have a LBP2 Beta code instead? :p lol
Sounds like it would be a blast… It’s a shame to read all the complaints. It would seem that we are certainly a spoiled continent.
Perhaps in the future, Sony will use “Home” as an extension for event such as these. But only for the “Plus” members… he he he
Keep on growing Sony
damn when i saw the title i was so happy but when i saw toronto -_- damn lol i hope one day they will come to Montreal :)
Yes! I used to love our sad excuse for an E3-like event which was called the Best Buy Gaming Invasion… but to have an official Sony event! THANK YOU!
@#48 – Well said. Good questions and observations.
As for the actual post. Canada is a big country (it doesn’t start and end in Toronto LOL) – it would really have been nice to see some sort of tour where multiple areas of the country could participate.
Toronto isn’t Canada. The title should read “Playstation Toronto wants to see you on October 5th”
I hope to see these events more often, and hopefully one drops by Vancouver? ;) You can bet I’d be there with many of my friends if one came our way.
You guys need to come to Vancouver. Theres a new waterfront convention centre they built for the olympics you could use. Its to much of a hassle getting a passport just to go to Seattle.
For those on the fence, can you guys hint at what you’ve got on the table?
Otherwise, all we gotta do is RSVP for this baby and were good?
Well first party wise we have Killzone 3, GT5, Little Big Planet 2, a ton of Move titles and Infamous 2 for starters.
Yes, just RSVP and I’ll see you there!
