UPDATE MORE 08/14/15: We met up with Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan earlier today for some press time. As of this writing, there is now a line at SM North EDSA Annex of an unconfirmed 500 people as per a tweet to Min-Liang Tan. Min-Liang Tan sent some care via more than a dozen pizza for those camping outside SM North EDSA for the Razer Store opening. For those planning to rush their way in, the main entrance will be via the entrance at the middle of SM North EDSA Annex from French Baker and the line will then me led to the 4th floor where the Razer Store is at leading the line from the mid-mall stairs and will circle around the rails to the doors of the Razer Store.
It is unknown if those from the parking lot or who manage to get in before the line (rushing from the Sky Garden gates) will be prioritized if they make it to the store front first. Again, there is a line right now in front of SM North EDSA Annex with an unconfirmed 500 people waiting.

UPDATE LAST 08/01/2015: The Razer Flagship Store in SM North EDSA officially opens this August 15 as posted in their stall cover at SM North EDSA Cyberzone, seen during the Playpark Playfest.
UPDATE AGAIN 07/23/2015: We’ve just received word that the opening will be pushed back AGAIN due to internal issues. We’ll continue to update this until we get the final confirmation for the official opening day.
UPDATE: We have just received information that indicates the SM North EDSA Razer Store will open at August 1st. Aside from this, we will not be disclosing any other information regarding the even until official statement. Razer has teased the opening in their Facebook page via the past below right after we received launch date info:
There’s been much hype about the opening of the Razer Store in SM North EDSA Annex and the supposed “revealed” date was July 4, 2015 to which many enthusiasts have taken as fact, eagerly waiting for the date (which is tomorrow as of this writing) only to be disappointed upon Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan himself shooting down the rumor. He denied the July 4 opening in a Facebook comment and soon took to Twitter to finally give official word on the matter.
Many of our readers have reached out to us asking for any info regarding the matter and we’ve reached out to Razer, their PH distributor and involved 3rd-parties in the launch to finally get a date on the imminent launch of the Razer Store here in the Philippines.
We’ve reached out to our rep in Razer who was quick to provide us feedback. Unfortunately they cannot provide the exact date but they did promise us more information as the launch draws near. It is confirmed that the launch will be, of course, at the Razer Store in SM North EDSA, Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan will be there and the most important part is that it will be happening soon.
That soon, unfortunately, cannot be disclosed yet. We’ve managed to get some exact dates from involved parties but nothing we can officially confirm unless I become Razer CEO in the next 3 weeks. Kidding aside, this is understandable as preparations for the launch are still under way.
We can understand the hype that has been built-up by this imminent launch and one can only wish that the Razer Store SM North EDSA launch doesn’t get too overcrowded.
Back2Gaming will be there at the official Razer Store SM North EDSA opening and we hope to once again sit down with Min-Liang Tan for another interview and chat about Razer, the products and hopefully finally convince him to release the Razer Toaster.
