In the first sentence "around" has an 8 in it. I know it doesn't matter I am just saying.
On topic: I live nowhere near there I live in Chicago, but I am not a big gears fan anyway. |

I'm on the other side of the border from Seattle; so close, and yet so far. I'd go but with work and the inevitable Friday evening border traffic, there's no way I could get there in time for opening, let alone be one of the first 800 to arrive. |

800 attendees, 20 xboxes, 3 hours = 4.5 minutes/person. Hardly enough time to complete a MP round, let alone a full MP game. |

@11 - Your calculations are figuring that only 1 person is playing on each XBox kiosk. It actually comes out to about 18 minutes assuming each kiosk only has 1 Xbox and everyone plays an even amount of minutes. It'll be more likely that each attendee will get two to three games in. |

Even though I have the day off work on the 15th, living in the UK will make it difficult to attend. Be interested to see if some sort of video report is watch-able off the 360 dash board after that events all done (failing that if any videos of the content end up on YouTube...) |

Only reason I can think of is Microsoft HQ is in the Pacific NW, but I doubt that's the reason. Perplexing choice to me as well, but they study this crap - maybe more Gears 2 players on the West coast than eastward. |
