Valkyria Chronicles enthusiasts and fans – and people who like free stuff – listen up! Next Friday, SEGA will be holding an exclusive Valkyria Chronicles event at the Sony Playstation store inside the Metreon in San Francisco! Here’s the scoop:

Where: The Sony Metreon, 101 4th Street, San Francisco, CA

When: 5 – 9 PM Pacific, Friday, Sept 26th

The event is open to the public, and if you’re in or around the San Fran area, you’re invited to stop by! For starters, they’ll be giving away free prizes, including the chance to win:

• Exclusive Valkyria Art posters signed by the Producer

• A Sony PlayStation 3

• Other free giveaways and drawings!

  

If you’re like me and haven’t picked up your PS3 for Valkyria yet, this could be a great chance to save yourself some cash, win some one-of-a-kind signed merchandise, and even meet Japanese Valkyria Producer Ryutaro Nonaka.

We’ll also be doing an exclusive interview with Nonaka-San at the event, and are opening the door to questions from the community! So, for everyone who can’t attend in person – post your questions here at the blog, and you might spot yours asked to Nonaka-San in the interview!

Update: Please make sure to have all questions posted here by 5:00 PM Pacific on Tuesday, September 16th.

I’ll be on-hand at the event to cover all the fun, and will be posting up a full transcript of the interview the following week. So, let’s get started: if you could ask Nonaka-San any question about Valkyria, what would it be?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Update!: The event had a great turnout, thanks to all those who showed up! The interview is now being translated to English, and once ready, will be posted here in an event follow-up entry, along with some of our many pictures – if you showed up, you might just spot yourself on the SEGA Blog!

As you may have heard in a recent online video, SEGA will be headed to New York for an exclusive Nintendo Store early release party for Sonic Chronicles! Get to the Nintendo Store between 1pm and 4pm on September 28 and you’ll be one of the first to play Sonic Chronicles, before it officially releases on September 30.

In addition to the exclusive release, we’ll also be giving away a very limited edition BioWare-signed Sonic Chronicles cover. These are not going to be given away anywhere else and are likely to be a great collectible.

If that’s not enough, and really, when is it ever enough, we’ll have a SEGA rep on hand to trade an exclusive Chao to your new copy of Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. This Chao will be initially available from the fans who receive it from the store event, if you want to receive it afterwards you’ll have to trade it from one of the lucky few who received it!

So, now that I have your attention, where and when does this all take place? Read on for the full scoop:
