[Wario64]

i hope we have a few gaffers stationed in the UK to observe and post impressions of casual reactions

[Mama Smurf]

The Old Library, The Custard Factory, Gibb Square

Better addresses don't exist.

[DSN2K]

heh might go twice. Friday and Monday

[vatstep]

PDZ playable? That's a surprise. It'll be interesting to hear reactions from non-industry folk.

[Deathcraze]

Cool, if I have nothing better to do I may head to the Glasgow one. Probably wont mind you, I wouldn't be in awe as much on launch day if I had already played one.

Also for the UKers among us, I think theres a TV programme on BBC2 on Friday@7pm (I think) about Microsoft taking on Sony with the 360.

[Keyser Soze]

Yeah, the show is called Microsoft’s Big Game Gamble and the "sky guide" information thing says it is supposed to tell the story of Microsoft as they release a new version on the Xbox console to take on the mighty Playstation...

Should be interesting but judging by BBC's older game programs I expect to be letdown, I have it set to record though :)

[Juno]

I gotta give it to Microsoft of Europe, they do put there all into letting consumers try before they buy and put on a decent promotional campaign.

[Deg]

I'll check it out.

Dont care about the bbc programme.

I agree .. I'd like to see what casual gamers think of the game, too..

[Die Squirrel Die]

Not really interested in the 360 but I might pop along to The Lighthouse if I can convince my friends to go as well.

[The Other One]

w00t! Im planning to go to this, probably go twice.

I think it's a nice idea, too :)

It's the money program though, isn't it? It's usually well researched regardless of the subject.

[MrPing1000]

Northern Ireland and Wales, the forgotten parts of the UK :(

[supermackem]

Yep as is the north east, i live in sunderland so its a pretty big hike to scotland or the other spots. Surely the north east warrents a stop even in newcastle or middlesbrough.

And North West England (where I live) has been completely ignored as well :( It's stupid because Manchester is one of the biggest cities in the country and it just gets ignored for things like this

Wait till the pods are in shops to play on, they'll be arriving in the next few weeks.

[Prine]

I'll be at the London event hopefully.

Edit: FUCK THAT! I'll already have my X360 by then :)

[Ghost]
