Thank you to the thousands of gamers who have stopped by one of the eight Vita Hill Social Clubs across the United States over the past few weeks. For those of you who don’t know, Vita Hill Social Club is the only place where you can walk in and pick up a PS Vita to play with for as long as you want (well, until closing time). The social clubs will be open through PS Vita’s official launch day on February 22nd. You can arrive by yourself or with friends, get a (free) club membership on the spot, grab a drink and a snack, choose your gaming experience off a menu, and get a PS Vita for an extended test drive with a wide variety of games.
Feeling competitive? Sign up for a tournament at the social club and play against other members. You can even sign up a bunch of friends and create your own tournament — just ask the club staff for details!
