Who's up for a party?? Sony is having official launch parties in New York and San Francisco on Thursay, November 16.

The New York party is being held at the SonyStyle Plaza on 550 Madison Avenue. It starts at 9 PM but those wishing to go are advised to line up early and bring ID- only the first 400 people will be admitted and it's 18 & over only.

The event is being hosted by Ludacris, D-Nice and Charlie Murphy. At midnight, attendees will be able to purchase PS3s. There may not be enough to spread around to all so the earlier the better to get there.

As for San Francisco activities get underway at about 8 PM local time at the PlayStation Store. There will be live music performances (featuring Ken and The Kutaragis- yes that is the reral name) leading up to official sales of the PS3 at midnight.

For those living in/ nearby those areas good luck and don't do anything I wouldn't, ok? ;-)
