South Bank's OXO Tower decked out with PlayStation symbols for PS4 launch


Lights on: The OXO tower with PS4 emblem


London's OXO Tower is today being decked out with PlayStation signs on the eve of the US launch of the PS4.
The landmark, which dominates the South Bank near Blackfriars Bridge, has been customised with symbols from the gaming console's control pads.
Sony's PlayStation Access Twitter account posted a teaser hinting at the project alongside a picture this morning.

Gamers are eagerly anticipating the latest in the hugely successful range of consoles, which launches in the US tomorrow.
The model will not be released in the UK until November 29 - but Sony is offering fans access to a dedicated PS4 lounge where they can try out the console before its release.
