Get Hands On With PlayStation 4 At 62 UK GAME Stores

GAME is giving UK gamers chance to get involved with a hands-on of the PS4 weeks ahead of its November 29th launch. 62 GAME stores across the UK will be extending their opening hours to host an incredible and exclusive event in the latest of GAME’s highly-rated lock-in series.

The lock-ins will take place after normal trading hours, giving lucky gamers the chance to experience the power of the PlayStation 4 in a unique environment and be one amongst some of the first gamers in the UK to get hands on before it’s released! Gamers can get their hands on the Dual Shock 4 controller and Fifa 14 in its next gen glory alongside Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Knack, Super Mother Load, Pinball Arcade and Contrast! On top of this, gamers will be able to get their pre-orders down on all the great upcoming PlayStation 4 product such as the GAME exclusive editions of Call of Duty: Ghosts and Assassins Creed: Black Flag.

To reserve your place you can register at your nearest participating store, either in person or by sending the store a tweet. Spaces are limited and will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis. Gamers must be 16 or over to register and attend. ID will be required for entry.

Charlotte Knight, Category Director at GAME said: “The PS4 brings a huge range of incredible games, jaw-dropping graphics, social integration like never before and a sheer power that has had the gaming community incredibly excited since it was first announced. We’re delighted to bring this exclusive evening experience to our stores and customers – we know they are going to be thrilled to be some of the first gamers in the UK to get hands on with PS4 over a month before it hits the shelves. Our relationship and partnership with Sony is key to the work we’re doing – we have already delivered three great lock-in tours with Sony this year and this PS4 tour promises to be the best yet. It’s an incredible opportunity for our customers and we can’t wait to join them in getting hands on with the next generation, exclusively at GAME.”

Personally I can wait a few more weeks, I’ve got my pre-order in place and while I would love to head down to GAME and have a go, it will only make me want to take the console home with me when I do.

Thank you Game for providing us with this information.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
