GAME becomes official Kinect launch event partner

Retailer GAME will host the official UK launch event for Microsoft’s Kinect next Tuesday night (November 9th) at its Oxford Street store, it has been confirmed.

On the night a special mystery guest will speak live to the audience via Kinect video chat.

Over 300 GAME and GameStation stores will open across the nation to usher in the new device. It’ll certainly be a long day for staff – the same stores will be open on the previous night, too, for the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

We are delighted to be the official retail launch event partner for Kinect for Xbox 360,” MD Martyn Gibbs confirmed.

Our staff and customers are so excited about getting their hands on it and we’re opening stores across the country to ensure they can be the first to experience it. The launch at our Oxford Street store will be particularly special with some very exciting special guests joining us for this great night – as well as hosting the first UK Video Kinect call.”
