You’ve seen it in pictures. You’ve watched it in videos. Now, finally, is your chance to potentially play with a PlayStation 4.

Sony revealed that PlayStation 4 demo kiosks are arriving in select retailers today. Those stores include GameStop, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart, according to the PlayStation blog. The company also released a web tool that can search for locations with a PS4 demo unit near you.

So far, it looks like only a few Sony Stores have the units, but the search tool will update as more shops get the hardware.
