    Talking YAY Xbox360 Tour in the UK this month :D <3

    Freaking great, and I'm lucky that I live in London since of course it has to come here (as well as other places, good for some of you lot still )

    http://pro-g.co.uk/news/nid/1745/

    Tour dates:

    * Glasgow on the 4th, 5th & 6th November at The Lighthouse, Scotland's Centre For Architecture.
    * Birmingham on the 11th, 12th & 13th November at The Old Library, The Custard Factory.
    * Leeds on the 18th, 19th & 20th November at The Light.
    * London on the 25th, 26th, 27th & 28th November at the Mercer Street Studios, WC2.
    Well more like Scotland and England lol. Everyone gets half an hour to play on them, so I will hopefully take a digi cam and have a thrash at it. Anyone wanna meet?

    So anyone going to this tomorrow or over the weekend? I'm going tomorrow morning with 3 mates

    My friend found this on Eurogamer forums, and a guy had this to say about it;

    So, it started in Glasgow today. Went done for a few hours played most of the games. The reps said the builds were 60 -90% complete so its the same old stuff we have seen before so my comments of graphics might be harse. So, my thoughts are sort of pointless considering launch is soon but what the hell.

    Setup

    The setups for standing were Samsung LCDs 26 all laid round the room with a definite chance to play something. Three couch areas with four 32 inch TV each surrounded by a sofa so a possiblitly for multiplayer matches, versus, coop. Same for standing as long as you can organise it with other folk. Your very close to the screens so that probadly makes games look worse but nobody plays that close to the TV at home so a non issue. Also, the screens were a little dark but slight adjustment would sort that.

    They had a DJ in the corner playing tunes all the time so hard to hear the game sounds from time to time which was annoying.

    Roasting I tell ya. Phew!

    I went to a much more low-key one of these for the original Xbox launch. They had some guy standing next to the Halo booth stopping people selecting the good missions. Oh well, I got an Xbox hat which I stuffed with free Smints and Aeros (bet they wish they hadn't given me the hat eh? )

    LOL I can imagine some official rep giving a light slap on the hand everytime they tried to.


    I would need a large hat, so if they have treats I will stuff it like an emergency and have a lunch on mints
