Microsoft sets dates for international Xbox One tour

4.5

In addition to the Xbox One 'Test Drive' roadshow, Microsoft's 'Area One' tour will bring the new console to 13 locations across the globe. We now have dates for the two-month international tour that begins in Philadelphia this week and ends in London around the time of the console's launch on November 22. The schedule is as follows:

Philadelphia: October 3-6
Paris: October 10-13
Toronto: October 10-13
Chicago: October 17-20
Vienna: October 17-20
Atlanta: October 24-27
Dallas: October 31-November 3
Berlin: October 31-November 3
Phoenix: November 7-10
San Francisco: November 14-17
Dublin: November 14-17
Los Angeles: November 21
London: November 21-24

The Area One shows are free entry, but Microsoft warns space is limited, and invites are only for those 18 years and older. If you can't make to the Area One events, there's always the Test Drive roadshow, set to visit cities across the US, Canada, Germany, France, and the UK across the same period. Full details on that can be found on the Xbox website.

JimboSlice Didn't expect Florida to be on there. I'm going to have to agree with Pashtun though, this is a horrible international tour.

I agree the places they have chosen are very unusual so I don't see why they are doing this. Ahwell it's near me so I may check it out.

You call this international? Pathetic. Almost half of these are in the U.S. Two of them are in the U.K. region. 3 in Northern Europe. And 1 in Canada. What about the rest of the world?

Dublin is closest to me good that they are doing this gives the people a chance to have a go at the console and see whether their 500 spent is a good enough deal for them.
