Default Xbox 360 demo stand!

www.360updates.com says

“Since the announcement of the Xbox 360, gamers have been waiting in anticipation to play the console firsthand. However if what sources have been revealed to GameInsider is correct, the wait to sample the Xbox 360 may be over the week of Oct 24th.
According to retailer sources which have told GameInsider today that on the week of October 24 2005, Microsoft plans to distribute Xbox 360 demo kiosks to all major retailers in North America. Our sources have also told us that the kiosks were planned to be launched this week but were delayed by Microsoft for unspecified reasons.

Details about the kiosks are scarce, our sources have informed us that we should expect to see the Xbox 360 console running both playable demos and gameplay trailers of launch titles. As to which launch titles will be shown, we were unable to verify through our source.”

According to zeldagamerlink and others in our forums this is true. Expect these to be out in the next couple of weeks to have fun playing these for a few weeks before you can buy one.

I just realized. They better hire extra security at these places. I smell trouble. A lot of it. I'm picturing many large mobs coming to loot these stores. Could get ugly. Or funny. Depends on your point of view...

Some comfortable high stools (oxy?) would definitely be useful lol...

Anyone know what the stores do with the old Xbox kiosks? Does MS just take them back and recycle them?

The stores don't own any of the kiosks. Microsofts owns theirs, as does Sony and Nintendo. Once the systems are taken out of the store, they are then auctioned of, or given away, to employees. Usually, only employees, or other special people get to nab these cool stands.

Very nice although I hope the stores will stop vandalism as their is alot of money's worth of equipment there and by the rection on this thread alot of people want to steal this thing, me included.

Any news on Kiosks in the UK?

PS Do you think we can access all the media blades as it looks like you can on the picture.
