To try and secure more sales for their new peripheral, Kinect, Microsoft are bringing it to the UK. Microsoft will tour the UK from August until December at various locations from theme parks to a clothes show? (No idea why)
The dates and venues are listed below:
- 1st August – 30th September 2010 @ Alton Towers
- 7th-22nd August 2010 @ London Zoo
- 11th-12th September 2010 @ The Thames Festival in London
- 21st-31st October 2010 @ Chessington World of Adventures
- 2nd-8th December 2010 @ Clothes Show Live in Birmingham (NEC)
Microsoft will also be holding a summer event at Convent Garden and here is what they had to say about it:
Alongside the UK tour, Kinect will also have a summer home in London’s Covent Garden. A specially designed venue, the Kinect Galleries, opens to the public on Saturday 31st July 2010. The Kinect Tour and Galleries will give UK and Irish consumers a unique chance to be amongst the first people in the world to experience the amazing world of controller free gaming and home entertainment from Kinect for Xbox 360.
To book a slot at Kinect Galleries, visitors can use a dedicated booking site which will go live this Friday 30th July at www.facebook.com/kinectforxbox360. Visitors can also create a Facebook event to invite their friends to join them at the Kinect Galleries or at one of the many tour locations across the UK.
Members of the public will be able to play the following Kinect titles,
Kinect Adventures!
Dance Central
Kinect Joyride
KinectimalsVisitors to the Kinect Tour will also be able to have their play session filmed with a 25 second video clip created which can be accessed later through www.kinect.me and shared with friends and family and across social networks.
