Sad news for PlayStation lovers in San Francisco: The PlayStation store in the Metreon will be closing up shop this summer. The store first opened in 1999 and was the epicenter of PlayStation launches on the west coast. Other Sony Style stores certainly will remain open across the country, but none are so central to the PlayStation brand. Here’s what Sony’s got to say about this tragic development:
“Our lease with the Metreon for the PlayStation Store will expire this summer and we have chosen not to renew it. While we are always looking at new avenues for additional retail exposure and space, we felt it best not to continue with a dedicated PlayStation Store at the Metreon at this time.”
Sigh.
Anyway, the Metreon reports that the store’s lease actually is up on March 31st, so the clock’s ticking now.
