Skoobs Theatre of Books is a place where your imagination can run wild: a world of literary and entertainment delights. The first of its kind in South Africa, this innovative state-of-the-art concept store covers 1 200 square metres of space on two levels in the heart of Montecasino and offers a huge range of books in every genre.
The store also includes a fabulous coffee shop with unique coffee and tea offerings and an upmarket Champagne Bar on the upper level, complete with baby grand piano to provide refined entertainment while enjoying your glass of bubbly and choosing a good read, or selecting a game for the kids in the interactive gaming area. Reached by way of an impressive glass lift or winding staircase, the gaming area is also on the upper-level, and it is here that children and adults alike can experience all the top-selling Xbox, Nintendo, and Sony Playstation games in an alternate reality gaming environment before making a purchase.
The wonderland of experiences continues for the younger generation with a custom-designed, animal-themed interactive kiddie’s book section and a breathtaking Skoobs fish tank, complete with specially designed water books to keep visitors mesmerised. The sensory journey of the store continues into the Zen garden in the mind, body and soul area; a putting green in the sports area; and a Tuscan courtyard.

The PlayStation Vita® is a new handheld gaming console. This portable console from Sony has all the functionalities that will make it the best portable console ever. Gamers have been looking forward to the second analogue stick and Sony has fulfilled their wish with the Vita. Sony has invested everything to ensure the simplicity in terms of control and the PS Vita is especially made to give more precision and flexibility.
The controls consist of a pair of analogue sticks, conventional face buttons and D-pad, pair of shoulder buttons, volume controls and sleep/power button. The other features include a capacitive touch-screen, a touch panel at the rear, a microphone, two cameras, headphone port and slots for game card and memory card. The PlayStation Vita is much bigger, but at the same time it is thin and light and feels durable. The face buttons are small in size and are micro-switched.
Sony seems to have done the work precisely to place one of the most sophisticated and powerful console yet into your hands and there is no reason why you should not get PlayStation Vita®.
