Retailer Hosting Midnight Launch Events in
Stores Across the U.S.
GameStop (NYSE: GME), the world’s largest multichannel retailer
of video games, is hosting midnight launch events for the North
American release of the PS4™ system on Thursday, November 14
leading into the console’s official launch day on Friday, November
15.
GameStop is expecting thousands of eager fans to fill its more
than 4,200 participating stores as they wait to be among the first
to get their hands on the new console.
“The future of video gaming is here and we couldn’t be more
excited to be leading it,” said Bob Puzon, senior vice president of
merchandising at GameStop. “Our knowledgeable associates and our
unique trade programs make us the most convenient and affordable
place to purchase everything that you need for a great gaming
experience.”
Events begin at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 14 and beginning
at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, November 15, GameStop will begin
distributing the PS4 system to its customers.
GameStop is celebrating the launch of the PS4 system at its West
Coast flagship store on Market Street in San Francisco and all
across the U.S., where PlayStation fans will find contests, prizes,
live music and food trucks throughout the night at their local
GameStop. Select stores will also have PS4 demo units available to
play, providing gaming fans the chance to experience the PS4 system
before it is officially released.
The new, innovative system will have more than 20 first and
third-party titles launching on day one, including more than a
dozen disc-based games available for purchase or pre-order from
GameStop. The line-up encompasses the most popular game genres and
titles, such as PlayStation exclusive Killzone™ Shadow Fall,
Activision’s Call of Duty®: Ghosts, EA’s Battlefield 4™, and
Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag as well as new
intellectual properties to be released exclusively on the PS4
system, including PlayStation exclusive Knack™. Customers can also
purchase related accessories, such as the DUALSHOCK®4 wireless
controller, headsets and more, while at the events so they are
fully prepared to game when they get home that night.
While demand is extremely high, customers who did not pre-order
a console are encouraged to contact their store location or
