Check out the PlayStation Pavilion at the new Nationals Park
A new season of Major League Baseball started up in America last night with the first game ever at Washington's brand new Nationals Park, complete with a presidential first pitch and a thrilling walk-off home run. Why should you care about any of this? Because the opening of the new park also means the opening of its new promotional PlayStation Pavilion, packed with demo kiosks for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, MLB08: The Show, Guitar Hero 3 and SingStar.
You'd think people at a ballpark would have better things to do than play video games, but the demo area drew quite a crowd among the opening night fans. Need proof? Check out our exclusive gallery of photos from the new pavilion below.

This should move some units for Sony. Hopefully we'll see more PlayStation Pavilions throughout the US.
The fact that at a ball game people still wanna go and play videogames shows how videogames are becoming one of America's favorite things to do. Its great that Sony is expanding videogames to perhaps people who don't play them too by putting them at Nationals Park. This is the way to expand casuals into the videogame market not the way Nintendo is doing by expanding the videogamers into the casual market.

Man what the hell?? Nationals get this and the Marlins STILL cannot find financing for a stadium. I hate Miami as a sports town. Go Gators!!

5 bucks to whoever can successfully combine "Play B3yond" and "Play Ball" in a witty way.

Well, we are talking about the Nationals here, so it's good the fans actually have something to do when going to the stadium.

*note how I used Sony's (Yes Sony the great) creative idea of using numbers for letters in my idea(yes Sony the great invented it!!!)*

It should be noted that the play by play announcer for the Nats called the walk off home run "giving them a happy ending." Hilarious.

I'm really excited Casey Blake came in the clutch to win our home opener 10-7 against the White Sox. My family won 2 tickets in a contest.
