Don't you wish we had more shops like this?

Sony may have pulled the plug on its PlayStation boutique in the Metreon in San Francisco, but in Japan, there are two chic concept stores for all things PlayStation. Consoles, games, peripherals, testing kiosks - you name it, it's all there.

One of these neat stores is in the shopping district of Nipponbashi in Osaka, and the other is in Ikebukuro, a large commercial and entertainment district in Tokyo. Both are currently holding special events for Hototohisu Tairan, a tactical card game developed by Irem.

Huh, no. We have Sony stores here that are notoriously overpriced. There is a Curry's Digital next door that sells the exact same products at half the Sony price. Nobody goes in the Sony shop.

So why would I want the same thing here? We have Game (good for the occasional sale), Gamestation (good for second hand), HMV (cheap) that are all great. They all stock the same titles too.

Game, Gamestation those type of stores charge a bit more than the prices at Amazon website and such.

For people which don't want to buy online, that's a good choice.

They do charge more but they're the best for highstreet shops.
Though Asda and Tesco can be great at times. I bought a few PSP games last year that they had mispriced at £5.99, was great! Also my local Sainsbury's had Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 at launch for £25.

We need a gaming mini-mall with just these kinds of sections in it... no more of this convergence bull. If we have a 360 or we have a PS3, we want to immerse ourselves in things we can get for that system, not a shelf of games that are in short supply or small size (library) places beside one another in a Walmart! This place looks like heaven, yet I don't even buy things for my PSP anymore!!

Who would possibly down our inputs? This is why we can't have nice things.

There's not enough stuff to fill a whole store for each platform. It would be pointless.

I was at the mall last month and the Sony store was still there....as it has been for many years.

It's not new by far, isn't setup like this...but it is just for all things Sony...maybe it will get a face lift.

Went to a Sony store in Thailand. Everything was a total ripoff. I could do without it really.
