Playstation now available on Sony Stores in the Philippines!

I always wonder why the Playstation is not available on Sony stores here in the Philippines. It was quite ironic since there is an increase in the sales of PSP and the PS3 but it was never available on the official Sony centers. However, Sony recently launched the PSP and PS3 in Glorietta Activity Center together with new games and features of Sony products.


The launch makes a mark as the Sony Stores all over the Philippines are now having a space for the Playstation brand, the consoles, games and accessories. Knowing the Playstation is known for gaming, the activities lined for the event were fun and games. There was also a cosplay competition on the first day in which the winner would take home a PS3.


On the second day, there was a TEKKEN competition on the PSP. There were a number of celebrities that were at the event to join the celebrity challenge on the PS3. A lucky person also takes home a PS3 just by registering. And even if you are not in the competitions, you can still take a chance to try out the new games of the PS3 like God of War 3, Final Fantasy XXIII. In display also was the 3D HDTV by Sony for a very realistic viewing experience.


Now it is official, you can now go to any Sony Store near you to get a PS3 or a PSP. I hope that in the future, they can also open an official Playstation store for the Philippines in which you can buy games online using Peso credits. For now, its a big relief to see Playstation gears and gadets beside other Sony products that would really make it officially available!

Its Official! Playstation Philippines is now here!

I think this should have been here years ago, the Philippines has been a loyal fan of the Playstation over the years and that is proven by the number of units of Playstaion. Its more popular before the Wii and the Xbox arrived. And also there is a large demand for PSPs here as the handheld console of choice . And when it comes to warranty, repair and other issues, there is no official office that would address these. But enough of the rants and now celebrate in the arrival of Playstation Philippines!

To formally launch this one they will have an event on March 27-28 at Glorietta. And here are some details regarding this one. There also a cosplay competition that would let you win a PS3! And you can also win even without a costume! just visit their site and sign up!
