Australian gets 360 lounge in Sydney


Featuring 24 high-def Samsung screens, high back leather chairs, suede two-seaters, 24 networked Xboxes, and--when the system launches late in March--8 Xbox 360 systems, Sydney's Game On Interactive Xbox Lounge is fanboy heaven.

Though it's not an official Xbox lounge, like Tokyo's now defunct 360 mecca, it might be the closest thing Australian gamers get. Any Australians check out "Sydney's finest Xbox lounge"?

1. Wish I could go, but I live in the crap of the crap. Also known as "Tasmania".

There's 13 McDonald's, 8-10 KFC's and about 5 Subway's. About 5-10 EBGames, 5-15 PC Gaming zones (Only 2 of which are any good) and AC/DC once came here.

Those are the highlights of where I live.

:\ At least of the whole 500,000 people in the state, less then a quarter will bother with the Xbox 360. Which means less lines.

3. I'm one of the owners of Game On.

Although it has been a stressful few months getting it off the ground, it great to finally see it come to life.

As you may/may not be aware, the 360 has yet to be launched in Australia. If do have one unit in the store which we have imported from the UK but we will be upgrading a further eight 360's once it is launched locally on the 23rd of March.

4. Well done guys!
I run Xtopia in Dee Why on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. With you guys in the South, and BoxxdIn in the west, we should be able to start some inter club tournaments and possible form a league/Larger competition.

Awesome coverage on xbox.com.au as well.

Wish they had featured us ;)
