PS Vita launches in style across South Africa

It’s always really exciting to be a part of the videogame industry when a new console hits the market. It’s a journey that begins at the announcement and one that takes you through months of excitement as more details are revealed, screenshots and trailers pored over, and pre-orders placed. Discussions ensue, debates arise and then before you know it the launch day dawns and the courier is knocking at your door.

Ster Kinekor hosted a stylish launch event for the PS Vita at Randlords, on the 22nd rooftop floor in Johannesburg, this part Tuesday night. We were treated to an exciting evening filled with awesome entertainment and much anticipated hands-on time with the PS Vita.

While a stage dominated the front area of the venue, TV’s dotted throughout the space ensured we could always keep an eye on the action. Whether that was wonderfully mystical dancers, the amazing sounds of Morgan Beatbox, or simply soaking up the awesome dance music that the DJ kept pumping throughout the night, there was definitely never a dull moment in this slick launch event that almost made you feel you had been transported into the future.

Testing the launch line-up of the PS Vita was one of the highlights of the evening, and left many a gamer in awe of the console itself. The photo booth was another popular destination, with repeat visits made to snap happy memories of the evening with friends and colleagues in the industry.

All in all, the PS Vita launch event resembled the PS Vita console itself in many ways, smart, fashionable and just a little bit intoxicating. It just so happens that’s how I like them, so it’s clear to me that my PS Vita and I are destined to have a good future together.
