The only cost is pink eye.

lol. That's my first thought as well. I wouldn't touch those things.

 

[……forgetit]

None in my whole state, wtf

 

[t hicks]

Wish they were doing one in Orlando :/ oh well im sure some Gamestop will have one set up around here sometime this month...

 

[georgc]

Really brandon and Vera beach fl?... You know why not like idk MIAMI? Who picked these cities?

 

[DavidFoundation300]

Catch ya'll at the Burbank BB on Saturday!

Edit: will be sure to give back impressions once I've finished

 

[qa_engineer]

Woo! I hope they have new demos to show. I'm so close to Chelsea!

 

[Octavianus]

That's cool. It's to bad we never get this kind of stuff in the netherlands.

 

[king grimlock]

Man why do these things never come to northeastern Florida, we got the oldest city in the nation up here gettin' no respect and Jville ain't so bad.

The PlayStation tour bus will be going to Daytona, check their site for date/times. Closer to Staugustine at least, than any of these.

 

[darthsontin]

None anywhere close to the Philadelphia area. Boo!

 

[cool_dude]

These locations are lame as shit. Where's the major cities in those states!? You'd think they'd select locations with high populations in those states.
They must be running trials or something. Maybe testing the waters before going to major cities.

But really, I'm just salty that the two in my state, florida, is hella hours away.

Wow, IMO, they really want to limit exposure and bad impressions.

 

[jon bones]

I can find my way up to Chelsea to try this out!

 

[Bad_Boy]

Wow, IMO, they really want to limit exposure and bad impressions.

If they wanted to limit exposure they wouldnt demo them in the first place, no?

 

[KevMan1815]

There is no chance this will be coming near Omaha, Nebraska. Oh well.

 

[Sami+]

Where the fuck are Brandon and Vero Beach

Is Brandon like

Brandon's house or something is that even the name of a city

 

[Jawbreaker]

Oh nice, my local Best Buy in NYC will be participating.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Just south of Tampa.

 

[TheMan]

nevermin.d

 

[Calm Mind]

Make sure to have plenty of Purell and alcohol wipes handy.

 

[Onaco]

I can't scroll down States past Virginia. There's no way that they wouldn't include Wisconsin...

Spoiler

Fuck this state.

 

[gofreak]

Dublin CA? Might as well be Dublin Ireland.

Wish it was Oh well, all in good time I'm sure. Although, yeah, I'd be going for the first day of demos and bringing some anti-bac wipes of my own...

 

[Novoitus]

schaumburg hmu

 

[DJ88]

All the Malls in Southern Florida and they pick Vero Beach? What why? Not Boba, not Sawgrass, not Aventura.

Fuckin Vero Beach.

Right?

2 major cities Miami and Orlando? Lets throw it smack in the middle of them in Vero fucking Beach.

At least Brandon is close to Tampa.

 

[bumpkin]

And nothing in my state (NH). It's a shame Sony isn't including PSVR demo stations in the E3 Experience events (that we know of).

Also, LOL at Illinois having the most locations.

Fuckin Vero Beach.

Lmao holy crap was literally gonna post the exact same thing my god what are they thinking.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Are they purposefully putting these in the most obscure BB locations?!

"hey lets put it in the heart of Miami!"

"Nah, lets put it 2 hours away/"

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

It's always Schaumburg... I'll be in Washington that weekend regardless. Why nothing near Seattle?

Seriously, there's a fuckton of VR development in the area, heck, it's where the AltspaceVR people that did the live VR Reggie Watts performance are based out of. Oh and those darling startups Valve and HTC

 

[Tumle]

Nintendo's influence can be felt in everything their competitors do, but this is totally the way to demo VR for everyone who hasn't had the chance.

Yes thank god for Nintendo!! If it wasn't for Nintendo how would other companies ever have thought of demoing stuff like VR to the masses! /s
Nintendo is great, but they are not the inventors of everything..

For other posters wo asks why they aren't going into the big cities.. I think that will come later on.. Start in the outer areas and working there way towards more populated areas as we get closer to launch..

 

[webkatt]

Catch ya'll at the Burbank BB on Saturday!

Edit: will be sure to give back impressions once I've finished

Burbank isn't on the list though...

*Edit*

I only recognize Burbank, California, not Illinois.

 

[MetatronM]

23rd and 6th? What a weird choice. You would think they would go for the flagship store at Union Square. Regardless, that's right by my office, so I guess I don't have an excuse to skip it.

Weird that they chose the Burbank ones out of all the others for the region. I guess the proximity to the L is good though. Still, I'm going to have to drive northbound on Cicero for 10 miles or so during the worst time of the day on a Friday. Traffic is gonna be shiiiiiiiiiit

The PlayStation rep at our E3 experience said they'd have one at the Hoover, Alabama Best Buy
on the 24th I think she said.

 

[Ginger Hail]

GameStop locations announced:

Oh hey, one in my state this time. I imagine it's going to be crazy packed though, so that and the pinkeye probably aren't worth it.

 

[xKilltheMx]

Literally not a single location in north florida. 4.5 hour trip for the closest one.

COME THE FUCK ON. Not even Jacksonville? Damn.

 

[CoffinVarnish]

Maygo to the Hazlet one but what does everyone think about waiting times?

 

[Thewonandonly]

What about Utah

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Maygo to the Hazlet one but what does everyone think about waiting times?

First come, First serve.

 

[TI82]

Wow, nothing in my state at all. Annoying

 

[UCBooties]

Looking at that location list I definitely won't be getting to try this out.

 

[Boss Man]

Aww yeah, Lewisville BB is like five minutes away from me

 

[Spectromixer]

Stopping at Tri County, Ohio Best Buy after work tomorrow. Hopefully the line is not too long!

 

[icespide]

I'd love to try this but I'd also like to avoid pink eye
