Some of you made it to PAX, you can make it to this

I applaud the idea. I'm not sure I would personally attend, as I have no interest in the current consoles. It could be entertaining, though. The terrible hours mean I would have to head down earlier in the day to avoid rush hour.

Wyndstryker · Sep 26, 2011

Ohh maybe I should try to arrange a schedule to go there.

I enjoyed last years. You had to get there early to avoid huge lines to play things. I'm not sure but I think this years space might be bigger.

Camp out and you get free stuff:

Wow? So am I the only one going to this?

Whoo no lines!

WEGGLES · Oct 10, 2011

Wish this was on a weekend... and in London not Toronto. :[

I'll be there with a few friends assuming I don't get lost, lol.

You don't need to sign up to facebook or anything to go to this right?

No you can just show up.

Last year they hit fire capacity and some people had to wait for others to leave before they could go in so I would suggest you arrive early. It's in a different venue this year and I don't know how if this one is bigger or not.

Rengoku · Oct 11, 2011

I'll try to make it, but earliest I can get there is around 6pm..... which might be too late, should I even bother?

WrenchNinja · Oct 11, 2011

How early should I get there?

Takao · Oct 11, 2011

Do they mean like CNE Liberty Grand?

I don't know Toronto well but I think yes. It's near BMO field.

soultron · Oct 11, 2011

I would go but I'm getting off work when it begins and it'd take at least an hour on the GO to get through rush hour traffic. Sorry dudes.

Are you looking at me. You are, aren't you?

Let me check my schedule... nothing...

Huh... SO THERE. I'll take free games...

Same, I'm likely gonna pass. My friend is a Sony rep though, so the allure of free stuff may persuade me.

soultron · Oct 11, 2011

What's the confirmed playable lineup so far?

The Elite · Oct 11, 2011

I might be there.

AlphaTwo00 · Oct 11, 2011

Well, I'll be there REAL EARLY, since I got nothing to do. I might bring some people along too!

I can't remember what you look like. Which one were you again?

What time you getting there? I still haven't decided which Greyhound bus I should take.

RIDGE RACER!!!!!

I can be there as early as anytime. At worst, I'll have my MBP with me and I do some work there.

I'm still drawing a blank. Were you the one who had the laptop with *sunset.jpg* on it?

Yup.

I think it's time I bring that out again...

Cmagus · Oct 11, 2011

I would but it's wednesday I have midterms damn

krae_man · Oct 11, 2011

Okay, now I got it. I was confusing you and that other guy who lived in Toronto but worked down here where I live.

Anth0ny · Oct 11, 2011

I would if I cared about the games.

Is Marvel going to be there? Vita?

I hope Vita's will be there, but it is a "Holiday preview" event so it will likely only be stuff coming out before Christmas

Well at least for us anyway, the press only part earlier in the day might have more stuff.

I'd go for sure if Vita was confirmed.

I also want to take a second look at the Playstation Display.

Takao · Oct 11, 2011

The Facebook group picture has Sweetooth on it, and Twisted Metal is a 2012 title.

AlphaTwo00 · Oct 12, 2011

I'd imagine it'd be no different than what was shown at PAXPrime or even FanExpo: Ratchet All4One, Twisted Metal, Uncharted, Starhawk.

Takao · Oct 12, 2011

I won't be able to make it unfortunately. I had some prior commitments that I only just remembered.

If there are Vita displays, write out "Takao was here" somewhere in the OS. Be it the web browser, a username, something.

Rickenslacker · Oct 12, 2011

A friend's tagging me along so I'll be there.

According to this: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/10/06/playstation-canada-is-ready-to-party-and-youre-invited/

The games will be Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, Everybody Dance, Twisted Metal, Journey, and Ratchet and Clank: A4O. Vita will be there too.

krae_man · Oct 12, 2011

I think I'm going to try and get there around 1.

Takao · Oct 12, 2011

I shouldn't have clicked this thread.

zephervack · Oct 12, 2011

Wednesday

, I would have totally met you guys had they choose a more sensible date like Friday or the weekend, who has time during the work week

Gaming nerds who live in their parents basement, duh.

I just changed shifts with a co-worker

soultron · Oct 12, 2011

Even with the Vita there, as someone who isn't a PS3 owner, the only reason I'd really want to go is to meet you guys.

Hmmm, I do want to check out the Vita. But I don't know, I've got class in the evening and my friends who would be interested in going will probably be busy too.

RS4- · Oct 12, 2011

I guess I'll show up.

or try to

jokkir · Oct 12, 2011

:O I'll see if I can go. It seems such a hassle to get to though :\

Onemic · Oct 12, 2011

why must they make this on such a random day? Have two classes during that time :/

Cromulent_Word · Oct 12, 2011

If I get over this IndieCade sickness, I'll be there. Not showing games, just hanging out w/ some devs/sony folk.

Quick · Oct 12, 2011

Completely forgot about this. I wish I could go, but I'm working.

krae_man · Oct 12, 2011

OMG, I just noticed Vitas will be there!!!!!!

Better be playable. I don't like wasting my time.

What's the best way to get there by TTC?

Don't hurt yourself while you're out in the wild. We need those beautiful hands for Horde mode.

Let me know how the Vita looks if you get a chance, still undecided on whether to pick one up at launch or wait until the inevitable price drop.

You'll have to take a bit of a walk, but the closest stop is Exhibition Loop at Manitoba Dr.

TTC routes that stop there:
310
511
509

If you're taking the GO train you'll need to be on the Lakeshore line and getting off at Exhibition Place.
