European Xbox Live Extravaganza
Microsoft is kicking off a party this Friday over Xbox live, and we Americans and Japanese folks aren't invited. This one's for you Europe. It's a pan-European Xbox Live Party, featuring chances to test your skills against celebrities like Busta Rhymes, James Morrison, Alessandro del Piero, Martin Solveig, and Marc Gené, only one of which I've ever heard of but I am assured that this is exciting news for you folks. Be excited! Busta Rhymes will be hosting the event from a secret location from 8pm to 11pm, and "will pit his wits against the cream of UK talent."
I could continue naming names here that I don't recognize or understand the cultural significance of, but you'd see right through that, especially seeing as I just mentioned it. In a nutshell, huge European Xbox Live party with chances to school famous people who have no idea how to game. Consider it Microsoft's way of reminding you, this month before the PlayStation 3 launch, that they love you more. Full details follow the jump!
