Have you ever been absolutely terrified of something you wanted so badly?

The Sweet Tooth-adorned PS3 you see above is yours if and only if you best a number of other folks at a Twisted Metal tournament next Thursday, Feb. 2 in San Francisco. Sony announced via the PlayStation Blog that the event will be hosted at Mezzanine and starts at 6 p.m. Word on the street is that David Scott Jaffe, the big man himself, will be at the tournament keeping an eye on the action. Call him Calypso, if you will.

In addition to the custom PS3 offered to the tournament's winner, attendees will receive all sorts of Twisted Metal swag just for attending. The event's official Facebook page has even more details. And, yes, as with most events of this nature, showing up early may be a good idea.
