Journalists may be in New York this week for the launch of the PS4, but that’s not where Sony is going to hold the launch party for its newest console. Instead, our friends in California will be partying all night with Sony before the PS4 launches on November 15.

Sony announced today that it will be holding a launch event for the PS4 in San Francisco on November 14. Instead of holding it at one of the company’s many Sony Stores, however, it will be holding it at the GameStop on 830 Market St.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a party without activities and food, and Sony has all that and more. For those attending the launch event, Sony will hook you up with PS4 demos & contests, food trucks, plenty of prizes and more.

Here’s everything that you can win at the event:

If you can’t make it out to the San Francisco event, Sony says that multiple stores will be open at midnight for their own PS4 launch parties. Those retailers include Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart, Meijer and Sony’s own retail outlets.

For those of us getting their consoles through Amazon, relish the fact that you can actually get some sleep on November 14. Just remember to wake up in time for the UPS/FedEx delivery.
